AWARD WINNING CAERPHILLY NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

Hello and welcome! I’m Kate, a fully trained newborn and family photographer based in Caerphilly, South Wales. I’ve been running my photography business for over 10 years and during that time, I’ve had the privilege of photographing hundreds of beautiful babies and growing families.

As a mum of two myself, I completely understand the whirlwind of emotions that come with parenthood—especially in those first few days. That’s why I’ve created a calm, welcoming space where you can relax, take a breath, and simply enjoy the experience of capturing your new baby just as they are.

Because I know how quickly this time passes, my goal is to make your newborn photography session as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Together, we’ll create timeless images that you’ll treasure for years to come.

Your baby’s safety is always my highest priority. I’ve undertaken specialist training in how to safely handle and pose newborns, so you can feel confident that your little one is in caring, experienced hands.

Wishing you all the best for the rest of your pregnancy—I truly hope to welcome you and your baby into the studio soon!

FANTASTIC

I would highly recommend Kate for anyone considering a newborn photographer. I had a photoshoot with my newborn baby girl and she was fantastic! The photographs are outstanding. We had a private viewing to look at the photos and I was in tears at how beautiful they were. There was no pressure to purchase a certain package and the price for what I will cherish forever is very reasonable and something I would highly recommend. Very grateful and lucky to have met Kate.

What my clients say

“From the first contact with Kate, she has been great, really helpful and always responding to messages quickly. Our granddaughter was born three weeks early and Kate rearranged the shoot straight away with no fuss. On the day of the shoot, she was amazing and put the proud parents at ease… The photos are incredible

Claire James

I’ve recently had my second newborn photoshoot and Kate made the process as seamless as possible. She communicated really well and was happy to discuss and bounce around ideas regarding the photoshoot. 

Kate was able to turn what had been a stressful morning of getting 2 children ready into a relaxing, memorable experience. She was able to direct my nearly 4 year old in her calm and easy manner. She was also able to handle my newborn with care and paid attention to his cues in such a way that I was able to sit back and dare I say it-relax.

I would highly recommend Kate!

Rejoice Mtetwa

I have always loved newborn photoshoots so as soon as I fell pregnant I began looking for a photographer. After a few dismissed enquiries I came across Kate & I instantly felt her family centred approach – it was clear that she really cared about our vision.

Kate was so professional, guiding us through the shoot so effortlessly & being so lovely with our newborn. You never know how baby is going to be but Kate kept things calm and made the experience so enjoyable for us!

Kate’s studio is so cosy & intimate and as a first time mum & new to breastfeeding I felt so comfortable in the environment.

I was pretty confident that we would be happy but the whole experience completely exceeded all my expectations -the images Kate captured of our family are beautiful and we will definitely be back for more!

Frequently asked QUESTIONS

When should I book my newborn session?
It is best to secure your date with me anytime after your 20 week scan. I will make a provisional booking for two weeks after your due date. Once your baby arrives pop me a message and we can change the date to suit you.

 

What can I expect in during the session?
When you first arrive at my brand new home studio based in Caerphilly I will great you and invite you to relax on the sofa while I make you a hot drink. During this time we can talk about your baby and you can tell me anything I need to know about your birth as well as sign some consent forms. You can look at all my props and we can decide on what you want out of the session. I normally choose between 2-3 props when your baby is wrapped then I move onto lovely natural photos of their little details. I will take the lead from your baby and never force them into poses they don’t feel comfortable with.

I absolutely love taking photos of siblings and families and it is so important to exist in photos with your children for them to remember in years to come. So the first thing I do it to take these photos first so then you can relax for the remainder of the session. I would advise that if you have siblings under 4 years old they don’t stay for the whole duration of the shoot as it can be along time. I tend to get their photos done and then either Dad or Grandparents can take them home so we can focus the rest of the time on baby.

What should I bring the the session?
  • Bring milk to feed your baby so they are nice and full before the session starts. You are welcome to feed your baby at the studio. Please bring extra milk in a bottle if not breastfeeding.
  • Dummy if they use one to make settling easier.
  • Dress your baby in something which is easy to remove.
  • A blanket to keep them warm.
  • You can bring any outfits you want to dress them in although most the photos with will be wrapped up.
  • Bring anything you want in the photo’s (special teddy, blanket, etc) and have these ready at the start of their the session.
What happens after the session?
After your newborn photoshoot you will be invited back between 7-14 days after to a viewing session. You will be shown your stunning images on my full screen projector. I appreciate how busy life is with a newborn baby so getting the date in the diary before you leave ensures you put aside time to focus on your images and make your print and product choices. Usually mum is is flood of tears during this time so bring your tissues! If you have travelled from a distant and can not make the viewing session you can request a viewing gallery via zoom instead.
