Amazing baby photographer, couldn’t recommend highly enough! Kathryn is a consummate professional whilst still being so down to earth, warm and friendly. Such a delight to have had our newborn pictures taken by her!

We absolutely love the simplicity and minimalism style of the photos. What impressed us most is how well Kathryn manages to take care of our newborn baby in the photo-shooting session. The whole process is professional and organised. The photos win lots of compliment from our family and friends, and we just can't wait to come back again.

Kathryn is excellent at what she does - a talented photographer and great with babies. She helped us capture some of the most wonderful memories with our little boy - and made it all very easy! Highly recommend.

  Booked in with Kathryn for a Maternity Photoshoot. What a lovely and pleasant experience. Accommodating to our modest needs and  being so lovely and welcoming into her home. The shoot time was not too long and she made us feel as a couple extremely comfortable.  The pictures came out were stunning and she was very responsive with emails/calls. Highly recommend her services. Thank you Kathryn! X

  Kathryn did a fantastic job with our newborn Ella. Her patience, attention to detail and professionalism shone through, and the final set of imagery was just exceptional. We'd highly recommend Kathryn's services!

  Really enjoyed my mini newborn shoot! The setting was lovely for calming the baby and the shots were so good! The online consultation beforehand was really helpful in deciding what poses and colour schemes we wanted. Overall super pleased with the outcome and will cherish the precious newborn photos forever!

  I couldnt recommend Kathryn and higher! The quality of her photos exeeded our expectations and the experince was one i wont forget either. She instantly connected with our 2 daughters and had so many tricks up her sleeve to ensure our youngest daughter was comfortable. She also made sure our eldest daughter always felt included and made the process a lot of fun for her.

  I can't thank Kathryn enough. I had maternity and newborn photos.
In the maternity session she made me feel confident and beautiful. It was an empowering moment and I really enjoyed it.
In the newborn seesion she was very skilled with Oliver and got the best out of him. It was also relaxing for me.
The quality of the pictures was superb and such  precious moments in time to capture forever.
It's a must do... Don't hesitate...
Thankyou so much Kathryn

  Came across Catherine in a local search - her reviews already ensured no worries - she was exceptional with our little boy less than 2 weeks old. The results were perfect & worth every penny!
