“The most gorgeous photos we could have wished for, documenting our journey from pregnancy to newborn. We’d definitely recommend Michelle!”

- Claire Dummett

If this is your first time here, you’re in the right place.

You don’t need to know what you’re doing, or have a perfectly settled baby or children who stand still.

This is an experience first, and a photoshoot second. You don’t need to perform or get it “right”. You just need to show up — I’ll take care of the rest. My job is to create a space for things to unfold naturally, and capture what’s already there, documenting your life as it is, in a way that feels true to you.

This will feel right if you:

  • want something that feels effortless, not staged

  • love the idea of photos actually living in your home

  • are drawn to natural, honest moments over perfection

  • want to remember how this stage of life really felt.

Feeling overwhelmed by it all?

You’re not alone! Most people I work with feel exactly the same at this stage.

You don’t need to figure everything out before you get in touch. That’s what I’m here for.

From what to wear, to how the session flows, to choosing what to do with your images afterwards, I guide you through it all, step by step. You’re not just booking a photoshoot, you’re stepping into a fully guided experience.

If you’re stuck in the overthinking loop, email me, send me a WhatsApp or fill in the contact form. I’ll always give honest advice, whether you book or not.

 
Michelle was friendly, clear and efficient throughout the whole process, from initial contact to getting our final gallery. We love the photos that she took and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Her laid back, warm and non-pushy way of working was perfect.

Choose your session

I photograph families at all stages across Cornwall, specialising in newborn, maternity, family and women’s portrait sessions.

Most of my work focuses on maternity, newborn and family sessions, but if you have something meaningful coming up, I’m always happy to chat and see if I’m the right fit.

And when it’s your turn…

Somewhere along the way, the focus shifts from you to them. Often, ‘you’ don’t quite make it back into the frame.

These sessions are a space for that: to reconnect with yourself, to be seen again, to capture who you are now, not just who you’ve been for everyone else.

Whether it’s a confident step forward as you rediscover your identity, or simply marking time as it moves, these are your chapters too.

Studio or outdoor sessions around Cornwall

I offer newborn and family photography across Cornwall, with sessions in my Grampound studio or on location.

A natural light space in my home in Grampound

Designed to feel comfortable and unhurried, especially for newborn photography near Truro in Cornwall. My home studio is somewhere you can sit, feed, cuddle, and just be while I document it.

Everything is kept simple, with a neutral setup and a small selection of beautiful handmade pieces you’re welcome to use.

 
 

Outdoor sessions around Cornwall

For families who’d rather move, explore, and let things unfold naturally.

Beaches, fields, coast paths - wherever feels most like you! Perfect for family photography sessions in Cornwall.

 
 

Investment

Most families invest between £400 – £700 on their images and artwork.

Choosing pieces that don’t just sit on a screen, but live in their home and become part of everyday life.


 
 

 This will feel right for you if:

  • you love natural, unforced images

  • you’d rather have a few meaningful pieces than hundreds of files

  • you want something that feels easy and relaxed

  • you care about how your photos live in your home

  • you’re ready to step back into the frame yourself


If you’re reading this and thinking “this feels like us”, you’re exactly where you need to be.

 A little about me

newborn and family photographer Michelle in natural light home studio in Cornwall

I’m Michelle, the person behind Curious Creatures Photography.

This all started when I had my own baby, and realised how quickly it all changes.

I wanted photos that felt natural and real, like the moments that were slipping past far too quickly.

At the time, I couldn’t find that kind of photography, so I fell in love with creating it. Over the past 13 years, I’ve refined a style that is simple and natural, with the moments in front of me being most important.

This isn’t just about photos, it’s really about holding onto something that would otherwise be gone.

Based in Cornwall, I photograph newborns, families, and women through each chapter of life.
