  • Maternity Self-Portraits for Mamas: DIY your Pregnancy Photography

    Maternity Self-Portraits for Mamas: DIY your Pregnancy Photography
    2026/06/26
    Courts has spent years photographing other families' most precious moments. But when it came time to capture her own pregnancy, she had to figure out how to do it alone, on a beach, at dusk, with two kids who may or may not cooperate. In this episode she breaks down exactly how she pulled it off, what she brought, how she set up, and what she'd do differently. Plus the low-pressure trick she uses with her kids that makes all the difference, and why the conditions that felt like a problem ended up making the photos.

    Courts has spent years watching families struggle to find their photos. Her guest today built a system to fix that and turned it into a business.

    In this episode, Courts sits down with Keira Lu, founder of Frame of Life, who helps families go from photo chaos to a library they can actually use. Keira shares the method she uses with her own clients, why most people's approach to organisation is setting them up to fail, and the one thing she wishes every mum would do this week.

  • The Parenting Book That Changed Everything (with Jayde Archives Photography)

    The Parenting Book That Changed Everything (with Jayde Archives Photography)
    2026/02/16
    Courts has been raving about this book to anyone who will listen. So she invited the friend who recommended it onto the show to break down why it stopped them both in their tracks.

    In this episode, Courts sits down with Jayde, family photographer and founder of Jayde Archives Photography, to dig into Hunt, Gather, Parent and what it actually looks like to put it into practice. Spoiler: some of the things they were proudest of doing for their kids turned out to be working against them.

    They get into the moments that changed things fast, the morning routine trick that Jayde only had to try once, and what Courts did at breakfast that morning before hitting record.

    Welcome to The Art of Childhood, a podcast for sentimental mums who want to slow down, pick up a camera, and actually capture the childhood they're living through.

    Hosted by Courts, family photographer and founder of Mamastalgia, this show is for memory collectors, photography hobbyists, and mums just trying to do their best.

    In this first episode, Courts shares the origin story of Mamastalgia, how a redundancy, a newborn, and a single afternoon with a borrowed camera changed everything, and the one question she thinks every mum with a camera should be asking herself.
