Family Photos Shouldn’t Feel Like Hard Work
You don’t need perfectly behaved children.
You don’t need matching outfits.
And you definitely don’t need to stress.
My sessions are designed to feel like a fun family outing in one of Bath or Bristol’s beautiful outdoor locations. I gently guide you, follow your children’s lead, and create space for natural connection — so you can simply enjoy being together.
Because the best photos happen when no one is trying too hard.

A Child-Led Approach That Makes Everything Easier
Play First. Photos Second.
Children are naturally curious and full of energy. I build sessions around movement and play — which means real smiles, real laughter and zero forced grins.
Beautiful Locations, Minimal Prep.
I use carefully chosen outdoor spots near central Bath and Bristol, so you get stunning natural backdrops without complicated planning.
Images That Feel Like Your Family.
Messy hair. Tight squeezes. Big laughs. The tiny in-between moments you didn’t even realise were happening — captured forever.

My family photoshoots are about capturing the genuine, quirky, fun love that you have. I want to capture your unique family connection, as it is.
My Green Values
The planet is at the heart of everything I do. Being kind to the planet doesn’t mean sacrificing on quality. I believe in encouraging children’s natural connection with nature through play and curiosity, which is why my family photoshoots take place in forests across Bath and Bristol.

“Everything from how comfortable she is as a photographer, how good she is with children to how natural the pictures come out, really everything. She comes with our family’s highest recommendations. We will definitely be using her again in the future. Thanks again Kate. We love our pictures!!!!”

“We had such a fantastic experience with Kate for our family photo shoot with our 2 little children! Super easy and flexible to book, and Kate was really great with the kids making it all very easy and fun! We love the photos so much, really natural, we had it up in rainbow woods in autumn so the colour and light is beautiful! Thanks so much! “
