As a mum of two, I understand that

Family time is precious

My Style

I love capturing natural happy moments of a family together. No forced smiles, no awkward poses, just relaxed fun captured in your home, garden or a place that’s special to you.

Whole family shots with everyone smiling are on everyone’s wish list but real family life is a bit “messier” and as a photographer I find joy in capturing some of the more ordinary things and highlighting your families’ unique personality.

FAQs

  • A typical shoot would be in your home or a location outside that works well for you and your family. We would spend about 1.5-2 hours together and take photos in a mix of spaces to ensure a variety of backgrounds and to help me capture the whole family and individual moments of each child too. If you don’t have a preferred location in mind then I will recommend a quiet outdoor space for us to meet.

    I have a natural documentary style so although I will guide you and your family to ensure we get the images you will treasure, my favourite shoots are when a family can play and have fun together while I can capture that genuine emotion.

    I specialise in:

    • Family at home

    • Newborn and baby

    • Maternity / Bump

    • Family events and special occasions

  • Whenever I tell someone what I do they say ‘Oh we would love some family photos, but we don’t like the idea of posing’, and neither do I really!

    Being in front of a camera doesn’t happen every day, so there will always be some members of the family who are less keen. However meeting new people and putting them at ease is something I pride myself on and I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to make the session fun and relaxed for the whole family.

    I always recommend holding a shoot at a good time around naps and eating schedules and ensuring little ones have had a snack before we get going. As a mum of two myself I can promise you a shoot that will be flexible, relaxed and good fun.

  • I like to keep things simple- there are enough decisions in life and every photographer structures things a little bit differently so I appreciate it can be confusing!

    I charge a set shoot fee of £150 and with that you get:

    • 30 minute consultation call for us to discuss the process and logistics and for me to get to know some details about your family.

    • Pre shoot guidance document, including advice on what to wear and what to expect.

    • 1.5 - 2 hour shoot time.

    • Travel within 10 miles of my home in Chiddingstone, Kent*

    • Processing and editing of images in a mix of colour and black and white, as I see fit.

    Photo Packages

    I will deliver all edited images in a bespoke online gallery within 10 working days. You can then decide what photo package you would like to purchase (this is in addition to the shoot fee).

    Option 2: All digital photos - approx 40-50 images, and five 5×7 high quality fine art prints (worth £30): £250

  • Choosing a photographer is such a personal decision as you are letting me into your family life for a short period. If you choose to work with me I will never take this privilege for granted and will ensure the process is efficient, fun and relaxed from first contact to prints on the walls.

    Having two little ones of my own I fully relate that kids don’t always play ball when we want them to. They might refuse to wear that nice outfit you picked out or not smile at the camera and that’s fine… I get it 100% as I have been there, and I will ensure regardless of moods or outfits, you will come out of our time together with a set of beautiful, unique images.

    If you like the look of the photography on my website and will cherish photos that show the more natural side of family life, then please contact me… I would love to chat.

  • Yes I have lots of experience photographing special family events and having worked in events for 15 years in a previous career, I know how much time and effort goes into these special days and therefore how crucial it is for a photographer to capture all the right moments.

    If you have a family event, birthday or christening coming up then please get in touch to enquire availability and discuss the specifics! I will build a bespoke quote for your needs- pricing starts at £300.

  • Family celebrating outdoors in front of a church, with a man holding a baby girl, a woman smiling beside them.

    A wonderful experience- capturing every precious moment! We had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie for our babys christening, and we could not be more thrilled with the results. From the moment she arrived, she brought a calm, professional, and friendly presence that put everyone at ease- even the littles ones! Katie captured more than just photos but every genuine emotion and quiet moments of reverence with care and attention to detail.
