The best photographer 📸 Katherine is beyond talented. She makes the process fun and easy! She also has a way of making my toddler comfortable to capture precious moments. We've used her twice for a mother-daughter shoots and we will continue to use her service in the future. Highly recommended!

Katherine was amazing to work with. We all felt completely at ease, she directed us well and made it fun and enjoyable for the kids. I couldn’t recommend her enough. The photos left us speechless I couldn’t have been happier, thank you so much! We now have beautiful family photos to treasure.

Me and my family had never had a photoshoot before. We were all really nervous but it was such an amazing experience! Katherine was amazing and really captured the love we have for each other. It was so much fun. I shed a tear once I received the photos. The photos are so much more beautiful than I imagined. Thank you so much Katherine! You are truly a gem and such an amazing photographer ❤️

Kind Words..

Katherine I was nervous going into a maternity photo shoot on my own with no one to hide behind and a totally different body shape. You made me feel instantly at ease and that nothing was too much for you to achieve. Your wardrobe is perfectly suited to pregnant body shapes and is so flattering in the images! Your energy is infectious and absolutely makes the shoot.

Wow, these images are amazing!! Thank you so much for last week and the work you have done to put this collection together for us. We loved meeting you and you made the whole thing relaxed and enjoyable for us all. Every time i clicked to a new image i kept saying wow and being blown away at how stunning they are. How gorgeous are our kids haha, slightly biased! the backdrop was just perfect we are so grateful for the amazing collection you have given us! now its going to be incredibly difficult choosing our favourites to print and frame!

i highly recommend katherine as a photographer! we absolutely love our pregnancy
shoot & newborn photos. Our friends and family think they are beautiful to! katherine is lovely to work with. she knows how to catch the light perfectly and guides you as too where to stand, look etc which is great for those of us that aren't used to a photoshoot!
