Shalynn Crawford Fotografie

As a photographer whose core specialties include newborn, maternity and event photography, I bring a caring, experienced approach to family sessions. Working often with new parents and babies has shaped the way I photograph families: quietly observant, tender and focused on genuine connection. The images you receive are meant to evoke memory and feeling, not just look pretty. My style is friendly, personal and relaxed. Feeling comfortable is at the heart of every session—only then do natural moments unfold. Whether we meet for a cozy home story, a light‑filled studio session at Atelier Novae, or a walk outdoors, I aim to create an atmosphere that allows laughter, closeness and everyday scenes to shine. I avoid stiff posing and instead capture the small touches, glances and routines that tell your family’s story. The process is straightforward and warm: we connect, talk about what matters to you, and choose the best location together. For sessions with babies I build in time for feeding, nappy changes and quiet moments—the child’s comfort always comes first. Siblings, partners and pets are welcome and often make the photos even more honest and layered. Being a mother myself, I know how quickly family life changes. Documenting these fleeting phases is a true passion. I work gently and patiently so that sensitive moments with newborns are recorded respectfully and safely. Clients appreciate the attentive, personal support from first contact through to delivery and the timeless, natural aesthetic of the images. If you want warm, emotional family photos, please get in touch. I’d love to meet you and create lasting memories together—at Atelier Novae, in your home or at a meaningful outdoor location.
