Behind the blog

I used to introduce myself as a copywriter & concept designer in advertising, but that's not that relevant anymore. Right now I am a mother and a housewife, and loving it!

This blog is my maternity leave hobby. While my baby is taking her nap, I create scene around her and take quick snap photos.

I use only few minutes per picture, including creating idea, implementation and editing, 'cause I don't want to disturb her sleeping and most of my time is for my family. My camera is small and inexpensive Canon IXUS 750.

  5. What a fabulous record of your baby you have (are going to have). Instead of a stack of regular old snaps, you will have a portfolio of brilliant mixed-media masterpieces. Thanks for sharing your creativity and cute kid with us!

  11. These photos are just incredible and so creative. I am sure your little girl will love seeing these when she gets older. I feel inspired by your work here and feel like I need to get more creative with my sweet little boy.

  12. What a great way to portray the magic and joy of your baby daughter! (BTW: She does not look "dead." And a maternity leave "hobby" is quite common, it's usually referred to as "discovering the unexpected fun in life!") Thanks for sharing these wonderful images.

    ReplyDelete
  13. i really love it! in love with all your photos! :) how i wish i was able to do that during my maternity leave, too.

    ReplyDelete

  16. Adele,
    What a wonderful thing you have created for your daughter to look back on and thank you so much for sharing. Your imagination is amazing as well as the items you have lying around to create these wonderful scenes.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I wish every child had a mom with a mind like this. What a lucky kid.

    ReplyDelete
  18. You are so amazingly creative! New career in infant photography?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Very creative...Love it! Wish my mom had been 1/50th as inventive. I think it's great that you have a maternity leave hobby. I cannot imagine putting my creativity on hold simply because of giving birth. Actually, I'm sure it would inspire me even more. You go girl!

    ReplyDelete
  20. A friend just shared your blog with me, and I'm in love. I'm also an ad copywriter, hobby photographer, and a new mommy. Thanks for this wonderful inspiration!

  22. These are adorable. I just had a little boy so I definitely understand wanting to stare at him all day. :D These photos will make her smile for years, I'm sure! What a fun project.

    ReplyDelete
  23. You are very creative.!! Move over Ann Geddes, there is a new photographer in town!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Fantastic! Considerably less creepy than the "Let's dress baby up like an adult, in over sized clothes" I love this- it's making me look around my house for such inspiration, and I don't even have a baby.

    ReplyDelete
  25. These are so lovely, and the video with music brought tears to my eyes. I'm a new mom, too, and your little girl is so lucky to have such a creative, whimsical and obviously caring mother.

    On the commercial side ... you could easily print these and make them into gift cards, calendars, framed prints for the nursery ... they would sell like hotcakes on Etsy. If you ever decide to do that, please post to your blog, as I would love to be one of your first customers!

    Best wishes and sweet dreams,

  27. What an amazing idea! And what great pictures you have for your baby to see in the future! I hope your baby is having these sweet dreams! Great Job!

  47. These photos are truly inspiring and you are very creative and talented Adele! I have a long-lasting passion for photography which has exploded since my baby boy was born 4 months ago. It's a wonderful hobby that will leave beautiful and valuable memories for our babies.
    (PS - they are NOT creepy at all!!!)

    ReplyDelete
  48. You are totally insane, and utterly, utterly brilliant! These are fantastic little things creations, and I marvel at your ability to turn wraps, cloth and towels into these scenes.

    When your little girl looks back on this in 14 years time, she will be SO EMBARASSED.

    But then in 25 years time, she will love you for it ;) Well done.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Genius. You should make these into greeting/thankyou/note cards!

  52. First of all, I see a book in your future.

    Second, good for you even spending just a few moments out of your rest time from caring for such a tiny one to set up a scene.

    ReplyDelete
  53. this is fabulous in so many ways. I love that you're doing something productive when you're baby is sleeping rather than complaining about how tiered you are.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I think this will start a trend! Such a sweet record of you sweet girl.

    ReplyDelete

  64. I feel like I've just seen the beauty that lies within a person I don't even know...and that is the sign of a true artist- the ability to relate and communicate with an unseen audience. Your hobby is amazing and I can feel the love for your child in it. Blessings in all your days, mama. You have inspired me!

    ReplyDelete
  65. My heart hurts.. Just lovely.

    ReplyDelete
  66. You are one creative mommy!! Beautiful pics. As a reading specialist, I especially love the bookworm.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Beautiful!!! A friend of mine just forwarded your blog to me. What a wonderful idea!!!

    ReplyDelete
  68. As a stay at home father of two small children, my golden (survival) rule of thumb is when the babies sleep, I sleep. Not only do I admire your creativity and execution (I think you'll make millions btw), I admire your energy to even conceive the idea and ability to carry it out. Cheers!

    ReplyDelete
  69. They were talking about your site on the radio this morning. I think it's sweet - don't listen to the haters!!!

  72. So great. Too bad my daughter is already 4 and I have no plans of giving her a brother or sister anytime in the future. Again, soooooo great. Congrats.

    ReplyDelete
  73. This is such a sweet and wonderful blog. It's great that you have the time and energy to be so creative! ^o^ I'm sure this is going to be the most amazing baby album any kid has ever had. I can already picture the "bring your baby photo to work day" :D

    ReplyDelete
  74. These are lovely, but I do think you should give a mention of Jan von Holleben. It seems these photos were definitely inspired by his...and his "Dreams of Flying" series started back in 2002.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Congratulations!
    I'm sure she'll love to see these one day.
    She looks amazing.

  80. I think this is one of the most wonderful and beautiful things I have ever seen! How is this different than any other photo taken while the child is sleeping? I hope you have that book deal...I would buy this for every baby shower I was invited too. Love your baby-love the sweetness-love the love I see in your hear t through your photos :)

    ReplyDelete

  82. At night when I have to think about going to work and leaving my babies in day care, it makes me sad. Then I wonder what they do all day without me. These pictures just further my desire to be a stay at home mom. Take my advice... they are TOO precious. If you don't have to go back to work, don't.

    Also, I love your pictures :)

    ReplyDelete
  83. You are so creative! Those pictures blew my mind!!! Really great!

    ReplyDelete
  84. The neatest idea I have ever seen!! You should create a book from all of these!! People would by it!!

    I am going to feature you on my blog today and add you to my blog list!

    You are amazing and your daughter will have some wonderful pictures of her babyhood!

  89. Whoever bitched about you having a maternity leave hobby has OBVIOUSLY never been on maternity leave. Newborn babies require nonstop attention, but they also sleep A LOT! Kudos to you for using the time creatively instead of watching crappy day time tv like I did!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Love these! You are really creative. I agree with the others, make a book.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Genius! I love this idea. Go and make $$$ off of it!!!

  98. This is awesome! Wonderfully creative and fun. Thanks for sharing your talent and your lovely little girl with us! You should post some "behind the scenes" photos (or time lapse) photos so that we can see how these scenes are made. Keep up the great work and inspiring us all!

    ReplyDelete
  101. she is very well loved:) Thank you for sharing,

    I remember looking at my little girl during all those long naps....no words can explain the feeling inside...nurturing, peace, love, just an indescribable feeling, I remember just looking at her, smelling her, feeling her breath on my cheeks, tears of love running down my cheeks because it was just too amazing! I can tell by those pictures that you are experiencing the same thing, but you are gifted and did it with pictures:)

    ReplyDelete
  102. I'm sitting her crying because this pics are so incredibly touching. I am now inspired to do something similar with my daughter Emma. I'm trying to keep as much maternity time as I can. Money being what it is, I needed to go back to work early, but I'm restricting myself to 2 or 3 days a week...
    This is the perfect reason why I need to stay home so I can spend as much time with my insperation!

    ReplyDelete
  103. these would make really cute greeting cards, not to mention the advertising potential. Very very original. Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  104. So lovely. Your daughter will treasure these images when she is older and will know how much you loved her.

    ReplyDelete
  105. WOW!!! You are soooo creative! These are fabulous!! I'm gonna tell all my friends about your blog. So simply yet sooo creative! I can't get over just how much talent you've got. Your daughter will definitely love these when she grows up. Keep it up! :) xxx

  108. Lovely photos and great creativity!
    But does your baby always sleep on the floor?
    I am a photographer and have a baby myself but haven't been able to do any sleeping shots since he was 3 weeks old as he is disturbed so easily.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Wow, I discovered your blog earlier this week and in just a few days you have clearly risen to fame on the blogphere! I just wanted to drop by again to tell you how much I enjoy following your daughter's dreams. You have a beautiful creative mind! Will keep visiting, Carine x

    ReplyDelete
  136. WOW!!, amazing is prob an understatement. I saw some of these in todays Sun newspaper here in Britain and was taken back by what are the most lovely photos. Where do you get your insperation from?

    Like most of the comments on here I only wish I had thought about doing the same thing when our little boy was the same age. he is now 7mths old and doesn't sleep as much in the day as he used to.

    Defo made my day and made me rethink for when our next little bunddle of joy comes along.

    Keep up the goood work, both you and your little girl are an inspiration to us all.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Adele I love your pictures! I have to agree with everyone else who is sure your daughter will truly appreciate these photos of her childhood. Your creativity is incredibly inspiring to me. I also would love to see a video of you assembling one of your shots. Thanks so much for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  138. Delightful idea - what a wonderful way to capture your daughter's babyhood. Do you also crochet & or Knit? Notice several of these items among the props. Thanks for sharing - you made my day and reminded me of my own girls napping poses. /;)

  142. To the Mommy with the 7 month old, you can do these while he's awake. I was so inspired by this blog (seriously, I've been staring at it nonstop for two days now...) I made a few scenes with my 6 month old son. He doesn't sleep well, so I decided to just try it awake. They are so cute! He's a pirate on a pirate ship, and he's a knight fighting a dragon. Tomorrow, he's going to be a moose. Not on a moose, an actual moose. We'll see how that goes...

    ReplyDelete
  143. i am blown away by your photos! hats off to you for "dreaming" along with mila and making them real. you are a creative genius, and a wonderful mom. :) will visit often.

  144. Oh my god.. thank you all for your nice comments and emails. I wish I could answer to them all but I guess you'll understand that it's impossible now. Suddenly my crazy mommy-blog is everywhere. I send my love to all you lovely people.

    Sabrina: That's so cool. I've been so impressed with all "fan photos" what i've already received. It's nice to give inspiration to other mom's! BTW Have you seen the article in The SUN?

    "Email your own baby dream snaps, with your contact details, to features@the-sun.co.uk and your little one might soon be appearing in The Sun.

    These are very lovely pictures, but I have to wonder whether your daughter will be thankful for you putting her on the internet when she's older. Maybe she will. I just wondered whether you gave any thought to that or not? Was it an easy decision, or did you even see it as a decision? I just think it's a very personal thing to want to share with strangers all around the world. Is it the kind of thing people just do automatically these days? Hope you don't mind having one very slightly critical comment, but I think it's okay to have a discussion about this, don't you? Good luck with your family.

    Paul.

  157. What a surprising and wonderful rathole I just found. I love these beautiful pictures and admire and respect you for your creativity. I would have defended you to Paul but you answered his concerns so beautifully there was no need. You and your family are amazing. I hope you publish a wonderful book and find much success as an artist. You truly deserve it!
