Newborn, Baby & Family Photographer – Hackney, East London

Hi, I’m Kate! I’m a newborn, maternity and family photographer working across Hackney and East London. My sessions are all about capturing natural, relaxed moments—no awkward posing, no forced smiles—just your family as you really are.

Whether you’ve just welcomed a new baby, you’re soaking up the magic (and chaos) of toddler life, or you’re simply wanting to freeze time for a while, I’m here to help you document it all in a way that feels honest and full of heart.

Natural, Relaxed family Photography at Home or Outdoors

All of my shoots take place on location, which means I come to you—whether that’s your cosy home or one of Hackney’s many gorgeous outdoor spaces. From the wildflower meadows of Hackney Marshes to the tucked-away beauty of Abney Park or the family-friendly vibes of London Fields, there are so many brilliant spots to choose from.

We’ll keep things easy-going and fun, letting your little ones lead the way while I quietly capture the cuddles, chaos and all the in-between moments that make your family unique.

Family Photography in Hackney Marshes, Abney Park & London Fields

Hackney is full of brilliant backdrops for a relaxed family photo session. Hackney Marshes offers a peaceful, natural setting that feels like a little escape from the city. Abney Park is full of character with its winding paths and overgrown charm, while London Fields is perfect for a more lively, urban shoot with a bit of everything. If you have a favourite spot (or you’re not quite sure where to go), I’ll help you plan something that feels just right.

Client reviews

Not sure a review on its own will do justice to Kate’s photography. You need to see the images she takes! We feel so grateful to have had Kate take photos of our daughter / they are so beautiful and she made me feel completely at ease the moment I met her. Thank you so much - these photos will be treasured forever.

We loved our shoot with Kate in her beautiful light studio. Her warm laidback nature immediately put us at ease, and she was incredibly understanding when our newborn promptly puked on the lovely clothes she’d lent him for the shoot. The pictures are simply gorgeous, she’s so talented. Thank you, Kate!— Quote Source

I could not recommend Kate more. Our little baby was 5 weeks old when we did the shoot and we had the best experience with Kate. She was lovely, patient, an immediate friend and a fly on the wall at the same time. She made us feel super comfortable when I was worried about feeling awkward! Can’t wait to do more shoots as our daughter grows up.
