Testimonials

“Our maternity photos are so beautiful!!”

Oh my, the maternity photos are so beautiful!!! Wow!! We are so happy with the photos! Such a great memory. We also really enjoyed meeting Michelle and really liked the photo session. Thanks so much! PS, sorry for the excessive use of exclamation marks but I am truly very excited about the photos!!!!

“Thank you for such a lovely newborn photography experience.”

When I looked into photographers for our newborn shoot, Curious Creatures Photography stood out with timeless, natural and real (no excessive editing) photos, and this is what we’ve ended up with - to have as a forever reminder of how little our baby was. Super relaxed, professional and personable experience!

“We had so much fun on the day, and the maternity photos are INCREDIBLE”

I can’t recommend Michelle enough for maternity photography. She took real time and care to make sure we felt comfortable (posing for photos doesn’t come naturally for us!) and she even accommodated our two dogs on the shoot. We had so much fun on the day and the photos are INCREDIBLE! We couldn’t ask for more and we’re so excited to have these family keepsakes. Really looking forward to our newborn shoot when the little one arrives.

“Michelle is absolutely amazing.”

She made us feel so comfortable straight away, got exactly the type of photos we wanted. She was fantastic with our two girls and communicated before the shoot to offer clothing advice and answer any questions we had. We highly recommend Michelle. She is fantastic.

“Thanks for making my maternity photoshoot a memorable experience.”

I just had a chance to sit down and look at the prints from my maternity photoshoot. I love them, I’m so pleased, Michelle is very talented… Thank you! It’s been a really lovely experience and I’m so glad I did it. It’s pretty out of character for me to want to do something like this and I’m so glad I did.

Thanks for making me feel comfortable and for making it a memorable experience.

“I love my maternity photos”

When is the right time?

Some sessions are there to capture a fleeting phase, like a maternity or newborn session. Once you get busy with family life, it’s really easy to put it off. Don’t wait for the right time - there is so much that can be treasured and captured from whichever season you’re in now. Especially when it feels too full, or in-between. Those are the months and years that sneak past, while you’re waiting for the dreams to come true.

Life with family is always evolving (never quite arriving!), which is why I believe that there is no ‘right’ time - there is only now. Precious, and perfect, no matter how you show up.

Stuck in overwhelm?

That is the biggest thief of all, now more than ever. If you’re caught in the overthinking loop, reach out and I will advise honestly on timing and your best options. I will make it simple, easy and together we’ll make it happen.

The future is never certain but we live as if it is.

Meet the Photographer

Cornwall newborn, baby & family photographer

I’m Michelle, the photographer behind all the newborn, baby and family photos you see here. I live with my two sons and a cat in Grampound near Truro.

I am a natural light photographer, so there’s never a barrier between me and the moment. I’m always right in it, with you - whether in my home studio, on the beach or at your home.

If you’re looking for an experienced photographer, a session that tunes into your family’s unique rhythm & rhyme, and beautiful, tangible photos that you can hold in your hands, I can help.

Let’s document this time with the space, attention realness it deserves.
