Hey Mum,
I've got you!
Baby & family photography is not just a job for me; it's my absolute passion. That I am trusted to freeze these irreplaceable moments means more to me than words can express. It is an honor and a joy that fills my heart to the brim. ❤️
So welcome to my world of documenting love, laughter, and the beauty of your unique journey! Before the thief that is time has its way, lets press pause and capture these precious days. I can't wait to create timeless memories together for you and your family x
Not just a photographer, a visual storyteller for nostalgic hearts
I'm Allie, your go-to Hampshire Baby & Family Photographer! A super proud mum, passionate storyteller, and the ultimate memory keeper. Think of me as your biggest hype girl in the world of capturing moments.
I understand that every woman's motherhood journey is an incredible, unique adventure. No matter where you are on this rollercoaster ride, we all possess beautiful stories and moments worthy of savoring and celebrating.
My photography style is relaxed and simple, focusing on the delicious details and letting the little one(s) set the pace. The memories we will collect are for you to look back on in the years that will pass much too fast... but more importantly, will become a priceless gift for your generations to come. You won’t ever regret investing in your child’s journey at any stage, but it is especially true of these cherished, fleeting baby years.

You deserve a family photoshoot that exceeds your expectations. Having felt the disappointment from my own newborn photoshoot that did not match up to what my heart truly needed, I deeply understand how important it is to ensure your time, energy and investment is truly valued.
I genuinely care for every client, especially new mothers like you. Let's eliminate any worries you might be harbouring about feeling less than your best just now. Just as the friends theme tune goes, 'I'll be there for youuu' every step of the way, whether in my cozy studio or out on the sand dunes, capturing natural moments of love and joy.
I fiercely believe that there's a lack of images featuring mums in the pictures with their babies these days. Sure, quick iPhone snapshots and selfies taken during the hustle and bustle of the evening routine are nice, but they hardly scream, "that's going up on the wall"... and that needs to change. So let me help you create some true memories and pieces of art whilst we are at it. Whether it’s for a newborn or family shoot, it’s time to be in the story, not just the storyteller, Mum.
With a focus on quality over quantity, I dedicate my time to ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed. I love dancing with sassy toddlers whilst you try on dresses and giving you the time and space to enjoy this beautiful experience. This is also why I strictly limit studio sessions per week; providing flexibility for new mothers navigating the whirlwind of early motherhood is of the highest importance in my book.
I don't just want to take good photos; I want to be the one who truly cared and provided an enjoyable and memorable experience for you and your little ones.
Your Experience is everything!
There are few things that inspire and excite me more than photographing a new mother and her cub.
Each mother's journey is a unique source of inspiration for me to create art; I deeply believe in the significance of capturing these fleeting moments, ensuring they remain cherished forever. Motherhood photography is so important; you will never want to forget these days, and before you know it they will be gone far too soon.
There's nothing more rewarding than witnessing your baby growing into their own little personalities and preserving their precious details. Infusing emotion into every frame, I aim to weave a tale of love and tenderness between you and your little one.
On a personal level, my own son is a constant wellspring of inspiration. Documenting his journey and preserving his milestones is what makes my heart happy. My deepest wish is to share this joy with you; other mothers who are nostalgic by nature, emotional and real, who wear their heart on their sleeve and value heartfelt memories.
Embracing the simplicity of a day at the beach, sharing salty kisses and splashing in the softly rolling waves holds a priceless place in my heart. My commitment to you, my dear clients, is to deliver family photography that encapsulates these genuine, unforgettable moments. Because as I’m sure you already know (or soon will if you're expecting!) there is simply no love that compares to that between a mother and her child x
“Every day, every shoot, I see the world through a whole new lens. Your story will be different from the last, and this ignites my passion all over again.”
Please don't hesitate to share your vision and preferences, perhaps this is something you have been envisioning for a while! Is there something specific you want to capture, or any concerns you have about the session? I'm here to ensure your peace of mind and bring your ideas to life. Of course, if you'd rather just hand me the reins, you can rely on me to beautifully capture your family's story; it's what I do best!
Don't worry, I'll leave the heavy formal posing in the past where it belongs. I'll provide plenty of prompts and direction so you never feel lost, but I want you to enjoy the experience and show up authentically. I aim to capture you all doing what you do naturally, just as you are.
You deserve an exceptional experience on the arrival of your baby, celebrating your own Motherhood journey in all it's glory
Want to know more? My story in a Nutshell: By 21 I bagged my Photography degree whilst working in a camera shop and thrived as an assistant wedding photographer. My twenties were spent travelling the globe and enjoying the London-town city-girl lifestyle. After finding the Chandler to my Monica whilst travelling Australia, we planted roots in our first home together here in sunny Southampton! Our first pup joined the family shortly after I made the switch from city lights to beach vibes.
The birth of my own sweet baby boy in 2021 began my own Journey into Motherhood. I quickly felt I was never able to savor his smallness long enough, and obsessively began capturing his every detail. It was in the midst of these oxytocin highs & sleep deprived days that Allie Sloan Photography came to life, and so the story begins!
...and of course; Photography. Since I was hatched I've simply loved documenting all aspects of life through a lens (I blame my Granny for this).
But my very favourite thing to do? Capturing my baby boy every chance I get; because every time I go to his cot in the morning and give him a squidge as I lift him out of bed, he feels that little bit heavier in my arms. It’s my favourite time of day, yet my heart aches for his smallness, knowing I'll never have him like this again. It's a reminder to cherish every fleeting moment, Mumma's. Let's lock in that baby photoshoot and savor these priceless memories, to keep for our hearts forever x
