Kate Kirkby Photography Natural, family & baby portraits taken in my natural light studio in Pill near Bristol and outdoors.

With over ten years experience photographing little people and their families, I know exactly how to capture images that you will love. The sessions are fun and relaxed but my professionalism and attention to detail ensure that you will come away with portraits you will treasure for a lifetime. My gorgeous natural light studio is located in Pill a lovely village about 6 miles from Bristol. The hug

e windows are fantastic for creating beautiful soft light on even the darkest of days. Sit back and relax on my nice comfy sofa whilst you wait for your turn to be in front of the camera! About the Photographer

This was one of those sessions when everything just fell into place...the weather (miraculously dry during that crazy non stop rain), my clients nailed their outfits, and then the colours of those the lush green ferns...my little slice of heaven 💚💚💚

My bluebell senses are tingling!! I have a feeling they are going to be early this year so I am going to be sending out booking details to those on my mailing list later this week.

For those of you that are new here, bluebells are one of my highlights of the year and are always super popular. For small family groups (max 3 kids) I run mini sessions on set weekends so that I can ft as many of you as possible into the limited time that they are looking their best. If you are not already on my priority booking mailing list please sign up via this link https://www.katekirkbyphotography.co.uk/mini-sessions-priority-bookings/

See you in the woods!!

Love the idea of having some maternity photos taken, but feeling a bit self conscious? I can assure you that my studio sessions are very relaxed and I will give you all the guidance you need on styling & posing. I have a few simple dresses available for you to wear, but you are also welcome to bring your own outfits with you.

Here are a couple of snippets from recent Google Reviews...

'Kate made me and my partner feel so welcome and relax there was no awkwardness and we had a great time in Kate’s studio! Kate guided us through the pictures and how to pose and stand to get the best result and she didn’t disappoint as I completely feel in love with all the images Kate took!'

'Kate is very professional and amazing at what she does! So friendly and welcoming and made me feel at ease when having my maternity shoot'

Who else saw the sun today? 🌞It made me very happy...and got me thinking ahead to Spring.

If you are thinking about booking in for an outdoor shoot this Spring this is your prompt to get in touch today! Weekend sessions are very limited and I am already taking bookings for May.

This is also your reminder that family photoshoots aren't just for those with little kids. Outdoor sessions are great for those with awkward teenagers as I use a really big zoom lens and stand really far away 😅. Last time I managed to get my two in front of the camera I actually had to pay them...but it was so worth it!!

Claire was almost 6 weeks old when we did her newborn session. Although many of the cute sleepy poses are easier with babies under 3 weeks old, it is still perfectly possible to photograph newborns up to around 6 or 7 weeks. The sleepy photos take a bit more patience and help from a little swaddling, but the awake photos can be just as precious ❤
