"Love our family photos so much. Relaxed atmosphere in her studio, Katie was great with the children and fab communication. Thank you Katie, we are delighted with our family photos."
Why book a photo session with me
You might love the idea of professional photos… but feel slightly overwhelmed by the reality of it.
Getting everyone ready. Wondering if the kids will behave. Not knowing what to wear. Or what you’ll actually do with the images afterwards.
Completely normal.
My sessions are calm, relaxed and properly organised. I guide you the whole way so you’re never left thinking, “What do I do with my hands?” I take care of everything, from the shoot itself to helping you choose photographs you’ll genuinely want on your walls, not just stored on a hard drive.
Pregnancy, new motherhood and family life move quickly. The small, ordinary moments often become the ones you miss the most. You probably have hundreds of photos on your phone but very few that show you in them, or capture how this season really felt.
A professional session gives you a reason to pause for a couple of hours and document it properly. No perfection required. Just connection, personality and the stage of life you’re in right now.
The result is honest, timeless photography that feels like you and still matters years from now.
Kind words from clients
Wow, wow, wow!! 5 star service from the moment we stepped in Katie’s beautiful home and studio. She managed to get the absolute best out of my 3 wild children and put everyone at ease. The photos are absolutely stunning and what was great was the communication and responsiveness afterwards, nothing was too much trouble. I’ve now found my photographer for life! - Bethan Arora
Came to Katie for a photoshoot recently… absolutely fantastic photos!! The editing is beyond what I was expecting.
Will be back next year for another photo session.
Thank you so much! - Charlotte Coles
Katie was amazing!! Great with the kids and able to capture some brilliant pictures. Thank you Katie! Highly recommended - Ian Walters
This is the second time we have used Katie for photos and the quality is amazing. We opted for 3 Christmas digital backdrops but changed to 5 as they were all fab! Katie was also quick to edit and make small changes as we requested. Will definitely use again! ✨ - Kim Farrier
Katie is phenomenal and her work is breathtaking. She helps you get into your element and brings out the best in you making you comfortable throughout the entire shoot. It was a pleasure working with her and by far the best shoot I’ve ever had ❤️ ❤️ - Mary Fridah
It’s easy to spend money on things that don’t last. A weekend away. Another Amazon order. A takeaway you barely remember.
Photography isn’t that.
It’s one of the few things that actually becomes more valuable over time. The photos you print, frame and pass down. The ones your children will grow up with on the walls.
Time moves on whether we’re ready or not. Choosing to document this stage means you don’t lose it to busy days and camera rolls.
Here’s what happens when you book a session with me:
• We plan it properly. Talk through outfits, location and the overall feel so you’re not guessing.
• A calm, guided photoshoot focused on connection, not awkward posing.
• Clear direction throughout so you always know what you’re doing.
• A personalised online gallery of carefully edited images, ready about a week later.
• The option to invest in high-quality prints, wall art and albums designed to last for generations.
• An experienced Bristol family and maternity photographer who genuinely cares about the end result, not just the shoot itself.
Photography for real families, real connection and the moments you’ll actually want to remember
If this feels like the right fit, I’d love to hear from you.
You can book your session below or arrange a quick call to chat things through and make a plan.
Whether you’re expecting a baby, updating your family photos or bringing everyone together for something special, I’ll help you capture this stage in a way that feels natural and genuinely you.
