Aura Time Capsules was created by Victoria and Kathryn after listening to women reflect on how quickly the newborn stage passes. So many spoke about those first weeks blurring together, and how they wished someone had come into their home to quietly document that time while they were living it.
Through Kathryn’s 30+ years of experience supporting mothers and newborn babies, another truth had become impossible to ignore. Postpartum care had slowly declined, just as the demands on new mothers had increased.
In those conversations, a gap became clear. The fourth trimester often arrives just as the initial chaos and visitors fade, maternity leave truly begins, and a partner returns to work.

This isn’t about posing or perfection. It’s about being seen, supported, and remembered during the weeks that quietly shape everything that follows.
Kathryn, a qualified post partum doula and reflexologist, is passionate about caring for women in those precious days and weeks after birth. But with over 30 years of experience in the industry with newborns, and as a professional nanny to babies, had been feeling for some time that so many families were being left without the much needed care and support that was required in those important early days.
Victoria comes from a corporate background, successfully working for household name brands for the previous 18 years, whilst always having a love and passion for capturing moments with her camera. In 2020 she moved into professional commercial photography around her full time job, capturing photos for businesses across the South West and growing her social media, and reputation. 2021 saw the birth of her second baby, and realising that Covid had added even more of a pressure on the newborn industry, as she felt a distinct lack of support.
Having always felt that natural moments felt more authentic in photography, she wished that there was a way to capture that newborn bubble in a way that felt real, raw and authentic….
