Celebrating Spring in Style

May 8, 2017

I love this time of year, the evenings are almost as long as they can be, every day of sunshine is a blessing, the gardens are coming to life and the light is still lovely and gentle. There’s no better time to get outside and take some photos.

I charge the same session fee for a location shoot as I do for a studio shoot if it’s within a 20 mile radius of my studio and within this are I have several favourite spots that incorporate bluebells, woodland, wildflowers and parkland. These images were taken in the car park of a local recreational ground at 7pm in the evening when the light was soft and golden. The clothing was a mix of the model’s own and from my extensive collection.

We only had 30 minutes to capture these stunning images, and with older children who take direction well a lot can be achieved in a short time, but the bonus of an outdoor location shoot with small children is there is plenty to distract them which results in wonderfully natural expressions and poses in a much shorter time frame than can often be achieved in an unfamiliar studio environment.

To find out more about a location shoot for you and your children please email me and we can arrange a time to have a chat either over the phone or at the studio.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Katherine x

We had a fantastic experience with Katherine at my daughter’s newborn photo shoot. Katherine captured some truly beautiful moments. I would highly recommend Katherine. She takes care of your newborn like they were her own, so mummy can relax and enjoy.

We had a relaxed and calm family shoot with Katherine, it was stress free with no expectation placed upon us. And the results speak for themselves. Superb images. Could not be happier. Excellent, thank you so much.

"Katherine is a pleasure to work with, her idea's, attention to detail and creative flair really enables her business to stand out from the crowd."

Katherine was great with our newborn daughter, her relaxed nature puts everyone at ease and she really takes great time and care over the shoot so it's not a rushed experience. She really knows her stuff and of course the photos were amazing - the only hard bit is trying to decide which ones to pick from the shoot so we just got them all!

Katherine was great with my daughter at her newborn shoot, I had an idea of the sort of photos I wanted, which Katherine did but with her own artistic flair, which meant we had lots of gorgeous photos to cherish from such a special time.
C. Owen

I felt like a model at my maternity shoot and the pictures were amazing. Katherine is a brilliant photographer - I spent a while deciding where to go and have seen photos from friends of other shoots and they don’t compare to this. I would highly recommend Katherine.

I would highly recommend Katherine, she was professional at all times and was so gentle and loving towards our newborn son while posing him. She was also fantastic with my older children when they arrived to have photos taken with their little brother.

What an amazing experience! Katherine did a fantastic job photographing my daughter. She was very patient and professional throughout, showing a great talent with photography as well as putting my daughter at ease.

If you'd seen the crying, sicky, pooping baby we had at the shoot and the resulting super cute photos of what looks like a peaceful little angel you'd realise what a miracle worker Katherine is with the camera... I can't recommend her strongly enough
K. Hague

My husband and I would highly recommend Katherine. It was amazing to watch her work her magic with our newborn baby.
S. Hood

Absolutely overwhelmed with happiness at the stunning pic I picked up on Saturday! Thankyou so so much. We will see you again soon.
L. Cox

Katherine, thank you for beautiful photographs of our daughter. She has changed so much since last time you photographed her for us and your photographs always capture her spirit. From one proud mommy.

With a 6 month old baby and a 9 year old we were a little nervous about our photo shoot, but Katherine presented us with absolutely superb photo’s which now take pride of place in our house and our family’s. Highly recommended."
