HELD
For the women who carry, nurture, love and hold it all.
HELD
Motherhood changes everything. Not only the way you love, but the way you see yourself. In the midst of growing a baby, sleepless nights, endless cuddles and ever-changing seasons, it can be easy to forget the extraordinary thing that has taken place.
You have carried life.You have brought a child into the world.
You have nurtured, protected, comforted and loved in ways that are difficult to put into words.
HELD is about remembering.
Remembering the tiny hands wrapped around yours. The sleepy newborn stretches. The laughter, the cuddles and the connection that fill your days.
But it is also about remembering you. The woman who carried, nurtured and loved.
The woman who was born alongside her child.
These sessions are a celebration of motherhood in all its beauty, strength and complexity, creating honest images that honour not only your children, but the incredible woman at the heart of the story.

HELD Newborn
£450
A gentle and relaxed session designed to capture the connection, tenderness and love of those early days.
While tiny fingers, sleepy yawns and newborn details will always have their place, this experience is about so much more than documenting your baby. It is about remembering the beginning of your story together and honouring the woman navigating one of life's greatest transformations.
There is no pressure, no rush and no expectation for perfection. We simply create space to capture this season exactly as it is.

"After a surprisingly difficult birth, we were feeling very tender and raw. What could have felt intrusive became a truly magical and healing experience in Caterina's hands.
I felt like I was given back that 'golden hour' feeling of stillness, closeness and connection that we missed after the birth. Catarina's presence is so gentle and natural that she captured intimate moments without ever breaking that intimacy.
The photographs are full of warmth, depth and connection - beautifully composed without ever feeling posed or inauthentic. We will cherish them forever."
— Adela
I take on a limited number of sessions each month, allowing space for a slower pace, deep presence, and genuine care for each person I photograph.
Community Sessions
From time to time, I offer a small number of Community Sessions for women who feel drawn to this work but for whom the full pricing isn’t accessible right now.
These sessions are offered with the same care and intention as all my work and are available in very limited numbers. If this feels relevant to you, you’re welcome to send me a message and we can talk.
