🤱Mums...Which of these surprised you most? 👇

🤍 Nobody tells you how noisy newborns are when they sleep.

🤍 You'll take 500 photos of your baby and you'll appear in approximately 3 of them.

🤍 You'll stare at your baby while they sleep and convince yourself they've stopped breathing.

🤍 You'll Google things at 3am that make absolutely no sense in daylight.

🤍 You'll cry over something completely ridiculous because you're exhausted.

🤍 You'll somehow become an expert in poo colours.

Motherhood is beautiful.

It's magical.

And sometimes it's complete chaos.

But you're doing better than you think. 💜

Tell me...
Which ones can you you relate to?

"9 Things Dog Owners Regret Not Photographing"

Puppy ears
Wet nose
That smile when their cheeks puff out
Tiny paws
Their favourite toy
That one white paw
Their greying face
The curls behind the ears
Those moments together

Which will you miss most? 🐶

🤱Worried your baby will cry? Your toddler won't sit still? Or that getting ready for a photoshoot right after having a baby will feel stressful?

You're not alone. 💜

That's exactly why my newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your own home, where little ones can relax and simply be themselves.

💬One lovely mum said:
✨ "Kate was great with our 4 month old & our toddler and they were so comfortable and relaxed around her. Being in our own home definitely helped with this and we now have some gorgeous pictures!" ✨

The best photographs don't come from perfect behaviour.
They come from real moments, real connection and a relaxed family. 💜

THE FREE & ESSENTIAL app for new mums to ensure a settled & happy baby.

Over my 17 years photographing newborns in the comfort of their own home, the one thing I have learnt is that they love to cry and fight sleep exactly when you don't need them to,

They're fully awake wanting to know what’s going on in the world, being nosy & kicking off because they’ve been moved EVER SO slightly.

It’s okay, I have learnt a few techniques over my years through experience, recommendations, watching what others do and trying new products. After trying many things, one of my favourite options to get most babies calm, settled & happy is the FREE app called SleepySounds. I have used this app for 10 YEARS!!!

It’s like gold dust because some of the sounds on this app replicate the white noise sound that babies could hear in their home, the womb for 9 months long, so it makes them feel safe, secure & comfortable, thinking they are back in their lovely warm cocoon! My favourite is the Heavy Rain or the hairdryer white noise sounds; they work for me 9 times out of 10 (obviously along with a few other tricks alongside it too.

Do you swear by any apps or products that have been a GODSEND for calming & soothing their baby?

Or did something else work for you, like a dummy, cuddles, gentle rocking back and forth?

If we've not met before, hello! I'm Katie 👋

I'm married to my childhood sweetheart, obsessed with a calm and stress-free life, and I am a proud auntie to six nieces and nephews who I absolutely adore.

Watching them grow has taught me something really important...

The days feel long sometimes, but the years fly by.

One minute they're tiny babies curled up in your arms, and before you know it they're running around with big personalities, favourite foods, strong opinions and a whole life of their own.

That's one of the reasons I fell in love with newborn photography.

I've seen how overwhelming those first few weeks can be. You're recovering from birth, adjusting to a whole new routine, surviving on little sleep and trying to take in every tiny detail of your gorgeous new baby.

That's why my sessions are relaxed, baby-led and take place in the comfort of your own home.

No packing bags.
No rushing out the door.
No worrying if baby cries.

Just a calm experience where you can sit back with a cup of tea, soak up those precious moments and let me preserve them for you.

With 17 years of photography experience and newborn safety training, your little one is always in safe hands with me.

Because those tiny toes, flaky newborn skin, sleepy stretches and first little smiles won't stay for long.

And one day, these photographs will be some of the most treasured things you own. 🤍

I'd love to get to know you, so tell me below...

Are you expecting, do you already have little ones at home or are they all grown up now and have flown the nest? 👇

"I'd love family photos, but we just don't have the time right now."
It's something I hear all the time.

Life is busy. The weeks fly by. The kids keep growing. The dog keeps getting older. And before you know it, another year has passed without a single photo of everyone together.

That's why I've created my Lavender Field Mini Sessions. 💜

They're perfect for families who want beautiful photographs but don't have the time, budget, or need for a full photography experience.

Just a short and sweet session in the most gorgeous lavender field, in the evening at sunset after school & work is done, resulting in memories you'll treasure long after the blooms have faded.

Comment **INFO** below and I'll send you all the details.

Nobody talks enough about how vulnerable the postpartum period can feel 🤍

🤱When you’re pregnant, people often prepare you for labour…
but not always for the emotional shift that comes afterwards.

❌The sudden responsibility. The lack of sleep. The hormones. The anxiety over every little thing. The feeling that you should be coping better than you are...

And if you’re feeling overwhelmed already before baby is even here — you are not alone.
One of the most important things to remember in those early weeks is this:
You do not have to do everything perfectly.
Your house does not need to be spotless.
You do not need to reply to every message.
You do not need to “bounce back.”
And you absolutely do not need to pretend you’re okay if you’re struggling.

Rest when you can. Accept help when it’s offered. Lower the pressure you’re putting on yourself.
And please talk to someone if things feel too much — whether that’s your partner, a friend, your midwife, health visitor or GP. Postpartum anxiety and stress are far more common than people realise, and support matters is out there.

The newborn stage is temporary, even when the days feel long. That’s also why I care so deeply about creating a calm, gentle photography experience for new mums.

You might worry about looking tired. You might feel emotional. You might think you need to “have it together” first.

That’s why my sessions take place in the comfort of your own home — somewhere safe, familiar and relaxed for both you and your baby 🤍
They’re slow paced, relaxed and completely baby-led. There’s time for feeding, cuddles, breaks and simply breathing for a moment.
No pressure. No rushing. No expectations for perfection.
Just a safe space to pause and capture the love that already exists in those early days 🤍

Been on a longer drive recently? It’s worth keeping an eye on how your car feels after extra miles. Small changes can show up first. 🚗
