Welcome to my Studio

My beautiful natural light studio is located just outside of Brighton, East Sussex.

I have created a space that not only gives you gorgeous pictures but a relaxed and comfortable experience too. 

"I had the maternity and newborn photoshoot with Kate to celebrate the beautiful experience of being pregnant and our little twin girls' first weeks. Couldn't be happier with, not only how the photos turned out, but the whole experience - the shoots themselves, the viewing sessions afterwards and the amazing
kindness and professionalism we were met with".
"I wholeheartedly recommend"

Using Colour and Props 

Here, we prioritise your baby while incorporating a variety of props and colours to create stunning images.

 

Ideally taken within the first 21 days from birth and taken in my purpose built Brighton studio, East Sussex. My studio is equipped with a selection of wraps, headbands & hats to perfectly complement your vision. If you have specific colors or styles in mind, feel free to share them, and I'll ensure everything is prepared for your shoot!

The Baby Photoshoot

Capture the magic of your baby's milestones with a specialised baby session, perfect for little ones aged 6-10 months. From those cute giggles showcasing their gummy smiles, adorable chubby rolls, discovering their feet, tummy time and beaming with pride while sitting up. 

 

It truly is a wonderful age to capture and remember.

The Cake Smash 

Celebrate your baby's first birthday with a fun Cake Smash session with Sussex Cake Smash photographer Kate Priest.

Our Cake Smash sessions are tastefully created (excuse the pun) with the focus always remaining on your little one rather than all the background & props behind. 

 

Let’s make your baby’s first birthday unforgettable!

Family Photoshoots

Welcome to our outdoor photography sessions! Taken in locations around East Sussex. Once your little one turns one and starts exploring, let's venture outside to capture beautiful, natural images in stunning locations. From vibrant bluebells to cozy autumn scenes or your family's favourite spots, my relaxed approach ensures genuine smiles and heartfelt connections shine through. Together, we'll create lasting memories that tell your family's unique story.
