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.
