Families. This is where it all started for me, and is something I continue to adore when it comes to photography. Photographing my own babies, then photographing friends’ little ones…and so my love for this ‘job’ and photographing all things ‘people’ snowballed. The one and only rule in my family shoots…no ‘camera smiles’ (please don’t ever let me hear you say “cheese”; I love cheese, but it’s got no place in my shoots!). For me it’s all about finding the real you through the lens, spotting those fleeting moments that truly show your children’s characters; maybe a glance, a giggle or an innocent, curious stare. Those are the images I treasure and I hope you will too. Real and raw. Ones you’ll look back on in the years to come that will warm your heart. But don’t just take my word for it. Here are some of the gorgeous comments my families have sent through over the years…
Victoria Sweet
“I cannot praise this lovely lady enough! The whole shoot was an absolute pleasure. Katie was brilliant with our two children and made them laugh so naturally. She perfectly captured the personality of our family.”
Kevin & Flick Sadler-Kean
“Katie is truly amazing! She has taken some of the most incredible photographs of our family. Can't speak highly enough of her work and as a person.”
“You clearly have an exceptional passion that couldn't be more shining through in your work...you have an incredible talent and I feel very privileged to have you photograph my babies.”
Alison Sykes
“We have just received the photos from our second family shoot with Katie and they are just as stunning as the first time. Katie’s ability to take everyone with her and get the best from each person involved is amazing to witness. She puts everyone from the youngest to the oldest at total ease.”
Julia Graham
“Katie is a brilliant photographer. We have had a couple of family shoots with her and have another one booked in for next year! She captures the personality of her subjects perfectly and the relaxed nature of the whole experience is a million times better than formal (and pressured) studio shots... especially with children!”
Jennifer Ellis
“Simply beautiful photography!! We now have an outstanding collection of family photos in our favourite setting that we will treasure forever!!! Thank you so much Katie, you were so patient with our camera shy kids and totally understood the style we were after!”
Jennifer Rothbury
“Katie is an amazing photographer! She took some incredibly natural shots of our family and really understood what we wanted. Our children were so at ease they barely noticed she was there taking the pictures! We are so happy with the photos and would highly recommend Katie!”
Mel Navesey
“Katie is just fantastic! She makes the whole experience very relaxing and enjoyable and captures the most gorgeous pictures of the whole family! I can't recommend her enough, and we have already booked back in now we are a family of five! We can't wait!”
Michelle Larkman
“We could not be more pleased with the whole experience of having Katie capture some wonderful photos of our family. Katie was amazing at putting our two children (and us) at complete ease on the day and her talent for capturing fantastic images of us all together is outstanding.”
“The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.”
