Celebrating 15 years in business

Thank you for stopping by and considering me to be your photographer. I am a natural light photographer

who's been photographing newborns, babies and families for 15 years. So rest assured you're in the safest of hands.  

My purpose built natural light studio is based at my home just outside Brighton & Hove, East Sussex. Over the years my clients have travelled from all over Sussex and the UK including West Sussex, Surrey, Kent & London. 

As a bespoke photographer I only book a limited number of sessions a month, enabling me to provide you with images of the highest quality. I pride myself in creating a calm, relaxed and fun atmosphere with years of experience in my field. 

Please take the time to view my portfolio and read some of my client reviews. I hope my photos will portray my love and passion I have for capturing the early years for you, your babies and family. Please feel free to  contact me  with any questions or give me a call and lets have a chat 07790013224 - I'd love to hear more about your family and I look forward to working with you!

Welcome to our 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"

The Natural Newborn Photoshoot

If you're looking for a newborn photography session that focuses on simplicity and natural beauty our Natural Newborn Session is the perfect choice for you. With minimal props and a focus on capturing the pure essence of your newborn, we'll create stunning images that you'll treasure for a lifetime.

The Natural Newborn session is ideally taken within the first 21 days.

Using Colour and Props 

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

 

Ideally taken within the first 21 days from birth and taken in our purpose built Brighton studio. Our 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! 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.
