Nest & Fable

Nest & Fable Somerset, Wiltshire, Devon & Dorset. Relaxed photo sessions and always ready for an adventure. We capture connection over perfection.

In your own home or out in the wild! Based in Somerset/Wiltshire, we, Milca & Andy, are a husband and wife team who absolutely love what we do. We have a combined personality that makes us easy to work, laugh and cry with. Most people hate having their photograph taken and making YOU feel comfortable is something that we excel at. We both love to knit, cook, try new hobbies (usually fueled by a Pinterest binge), meet new people and teach!

No, we don't sell prints to our Irish customers. We can't justify having you pay for prints, then the customs charge and also another €3 tax per item on top of that. Make your friends aware of the introduction of this new tax for our hades made from outside the EU!

These two. K was one of our first babies and J was our last baby before we had to close our doors in 2020, not knowing when we'd open them again. Here we are in 2026 and these two are still the perfect, sweet babies that they were when we first met them, just taller and more excitable. We will miss them when we're back home in Somerset next week, but we know we'll see them again soon!

The most meaningful family photographs often happen right where life is actually being lived.

No perfect house. No pressure. Just your family, being yourselves.

Reading favourite books on the sofa. Exploring the piano. Picking apples from the garden. Digging up carrots with muddy little hands. The silly faces that make everyone laugh.

These aren't just photographs of what your family looked like. They're photographs of what life felt like.

Because years from now, it's often the ordinary moments we miss the most.

Nest & Fable sessions are about preserving your family's story exactly as it is, in the place where so many of your memories are being made.

Those tiny fingers won’t stay tiny for long. 🤍

One day you look down and realise your baby has already changed. The sleepy newborn stretches are gone, the little hand that once wrapped around a single finger now grips with purpose, and somehow the weeks have disappeared.

Yet so many mums have almost no photographs of themselves in those moments.

Not posed. Not perfect. Just real memories of being their person.

With Nest & Fable, our in-home Mum & Baby* sessions are simple, relaxed and designed around cuddles, connection and all the little details you'll want to remember years from now. No packing bags, no rushing out the door - I come to you.

✨ Mum & Baby Mini Session, 30 minutes - £120
✨ 3 digital images included
✨ Additional images available for £10 each (no pressure, ever)
✨ Travel included within 10 minutes of Chard

You stay at home. I'll bring the camera and a beautiful outfit for baby.

Before they get any bigger.

Mimi ❤

*Mum & Baby only. Full newborn sessions can also be booked to involve both parents and siblings.

Tiny baby cuddles hit differently when you haven’t had them in a while. 🥹

Today I finally got to meet a beautiful little girl who was born after we moved away from Ireland. She's 10 weeks old, all smiles, and just as gorgeous as her mama. Getting to hold such a tiny human again whilst she fell asleep in my arms reminded me exactly why I love photographing these early days so much.

The newborn haze, the sleepy stretches, the tiny fingers wrapped around yours… it all changes so quickly. These moments feel endless when you’re in them, but somehow they’re gone in a blink.

And honestly? There’s something pretty special about being trusted to preserve that season for families forever. Thank you to her beautiful mama for taking this and sending it to me , honestly a little teary eyed!

“Wanna do an awkward posed couples shoot for the laugh?”

Pictish pixies and absolute legends Hamish & Rona said yes immediately, and fully committed to the bit.

Dramatic romance, human furniture, intense eye contact, and not a shred of dignity left in the field at Slane Castle.

10/10 commitment.
10/10 chaos.
Would 100% recruit again.

As the online world changes, we’ve been thinking carefully about how and what we share publicly, especially when it comes to photographs of children.

Family photography will always be at the heart of what we do. Childhood is messy and fleeting and beautiful, and documenting that honestly still matters deeply to us.

But we also believe children deserve privacy, dignity and thoughtful consideration around their digital footprint.

Going forwards, you may notice us becoming a little more intentional with the images we share online. We’ll still celebrate connection, family life and the stories that unfold during our sessions, but with a little more care around what lives publicly on the internet.

Full galleries from events and sessions will, of course, still be available to families directly.

Thank you to all of the wonderful parents who trust us to document your lives as they really are... Muddy knees, tangled hair, energetic dogs, quiet cuddles and all.

Poem by Milca (Mimi) Wilson

On the banks of the Boyne we gathered near,
Rain on our cloaks, laughter to hear.
Steel sang loudly ‘neath Irish skies,
With stories of kin and warriors’ cries.
Brothers beside us, family close,
Bound not by blood but love that we chose.
In acceptance we stood, both weary and strong,
Finding our place where all could belong.
Mud mixed with sunshine, thunder and cheer,
We all stood together with nothing to fear.
Armour may rust and banners might fall,
But joy shared by the Boyne will outlive us all.

Boyne Valley Viking Experience means a lot to a lot of people and the poem above is how it makes us feel. It is more than just an event, more than the battles and the goodies on sale. It’s about being accepted for who you are, loved for who you are and lifted up when you need it most. We are a family and if you need us, call us.
