Hello!

I am based in Woodthorpe, Nottingham and I offer maternity, newborn, baby and family portraits. I have an in home studio but I can also meet you in your favourite location for family portraits or in your home for lifestyle and newborn sessions. I have been a photographer for almost 25 years and I absolutely love it.

I also have many years of Photoshop experience and offer services to professional photographers but also to anyone who has a photo they just love, but just wishes that stranger wasn't in the background or that pile of dirty washing wasn't there!

“I have had the pleasure of having Kat photograph my son and my family on a couple of occasions, most recently a maternity photoshoot with my very active 4 year old son. Not only is Kat extremely professional but she is exceptionally talented, the photos she has been able to produce will be cherished for a lifetime. She has a natural way with children, gets them to engage and captures their personalities. I can't wait to have her photograph our new baby in a few weeks and cannot recommend her more highly. We will definitely be returning for our future family portraits.”

Kat Southby

Hello, I'm Kat. I got married last year and we have two beautiful boys together, Casey and Robin. Before becoming a mother I worked as a school and nursery photographer. I love working with children and enjoy the challenge of capturing natural smiles and personalities.

I can usually connect with a child no matter how long they might need to settle in. I'd rather take pictures of their true self than out of character portraits with grimaces and uncomfortable looks on their face. I've been an early childhood educator in a nursery, a home-based childcare educator and family photographer so I have a lot of experience working with children.

I have been working as a Photoshop retoucher for over 15 years with photographers in New Zealand while raising my boys at home. I edited this image of our wedding day, it's four different images made into one!

Now that my youngest has started school, I can finally focus on the business I have always dreamed of having. My style is simple and natural poses. I don't really like too much cheese. I do however love working with props but not only in newborn sessions. Children love exploring and touching things! So props can help them engage and have fun in the photo session.
