Photography Course for Parents in Madrid and online

I am a strong believer that everone should regularly hire a professional photographer to capture their family’s magic, BUT it is also true that no photographer will ever be able to constantly be there in your life and immortalise all the important milestones and memories that each family should be able to look back at.

So, what is the solution? YOU need to take photos too! And I want to teach you how to do so, without any complicated theory and keeping it simple but effective to give a huge boost to the quality of the images you can take with your camera, no matter which type you own.

Madrid skyline and Babymoon top 10 activities

Why Madrid?

Madrid has made it in the Telegraph’s top list of most romantic European destinations in 2020, and it is an affordable, alive and sunny city with a lot to offer and a great metro system that can easily connect you to anywhere in the city within 10 minute walk max, which is definitely an added bonus when you are pregnant and want to explore!
 
So it is for sure a great getaway for your next romantic break! And if you are looking for a Babymoon destination, there are plenty of love boosting activities that are waiting for you in this sunny city.
 

What is a Babymoon?

Babymooning is becoming more and more common, and it is essentially a romantic and relaxed getaway for expectant couples before their baby arrives.
 
Becoming parents is likely going to be a big change in your couple’s dynamics and you will likely find yourselves struggling to find time for each other, especially in the early months, so it is super important to create a space where you can celebrate your love and dedicate some quality time to each other before your baby is born.

Lara :: Maternity & Newborn photographer in Madrid

blog 1

Not only one of my favourite maternity sessions EVER, but meeting Lara was an absolutely adorable moment as she is the cutest little one! And OMG, she had SO much hair!!!

Mamma was a little bit anxious about the photosession as she had a little stressfull and uncomfortable experience with her 4D Scan and she wanted to make sure the experience would be relaxing and enjoyable for her little peanut.

The thing is, during a newborn session, we usually tend to keep mum away from babies, so that the little one don’t get excited about the next feed & cuddle time at the smell of mum while we’re trying to capture the sleepy baby photos.. That of course was not helping mum relax since she couldn’t keep a close eye on what was going on due to the small space we were working in.

But then the sweetest thing happened…

5 Reasons Why You Should Bother Printing Photos in the Digital Age

We live in a time where everything is fast paced (think of the 24h based IG stories), focused on consuming goods that will be outdated or broken within a year (if you are lucky) and tending toward an “all digital” mentality.

So, really, why should we print?

Isn’t that some old fashion way, gone out of trend and often even hard to achieve kind of thing?

Well, I honestly think that by not printing our photos, we are setting our memories to be lost down the road, for us and for our children!

So if you want to be a better parent, read on and I’ll break down for you the 5 main reasons why you should print your photos.

Little Girl picking oranges in sunny Sicily

Elea-Jade :: Sicilian beauties

This is already the third time I’ve met this little sweetheart, and together with her family she holds a special place in my heart! In the previous occasions we had been organized the shoot once in the beautiful landscapes of Etna’s Mountain, as well as on the deserted winter beaches near Catania… so we decided that this time we would use a setting that was very sicilian, and opted for oranges fields. One of her beautiful three dogs came over with us, and we even tasted the oranges (the field owner is dad’s friend) and OMG they were SO DELICIOUS!!!

One thing I truly love about my work is how more often that not through the photography service I provide there comes a beautiful relationship with those families. They become much more to me than just clients, they become friends. And I truly love seeing them grow and being part of this.

It is a true gift to my heart.

So thank you to every client that have given me this opportunity. Thank you for sharing such important times and moment with me and for trusting me to capture them and create long lasting images for you and your children. It really means so much to me ❤

Sweet family holding newborn image in black and white | Aurelie Noyer Photography | Fotografo neonati Milano

Mariasole :: 24 Days new

This newborn session date back almost a year now, given that Mariasole was born on the 23rd April. Usually I tend to photograph newborns within the first 10-15 days, but this was definitely a special case!

Mariasole is my little second niece, and as I was away when my sister gave birth, I truly wanted to still try and get as much newborn like images for her, because I know it is special and I wanted to have this memory to hang on their wall.

The photo session had been totally crazy… it seemed that my niece was a little angry at me for not being there for her birth ;p …Or more likely she had already entered the baby colic stage… it was definitely A LOT OF FUN for myself and my sister… I got literally washed out with her poop over and over… basically every single time I took her in my arms, she did grace me with it again -.- We couldn’t stop laughting ❤ Poor sweetheart ❤

Anyway we did manage to get on with her photos, and made sure to include the little owl hat and the sweet bunny outfit that her grandma had made for the occasion, and did a few details shot that mum really had at heart, of them both holding her tiny little feets and her hand… pure sweetness.

Meet Matteo :: 5 Days new

This sweet little guy was just adorable! I had so much fun and warmed my heart to photograph him and his family, and he gifted me with so many heartmelting smiles that I will definitely cherish the memory of this session forever!!!

I had met him before while he was still in the warmth of mum’s beautiful belly and once again to realize an amazing Dream session that mum had in mind ❤ Ooohhh we had so much fun then!

But back to this gorgeous newborn session, Big Sister was sooo proud of her baby brother, and Riccardo, his two-years-old brother, was loving to cuddle him…we struggled a bit to keep him calm cause he was so excited about having me over to visit again 🙂

Definitely an adorable family which I always loo forward to see again!
