Newborn, Baby & Family Photographer – Crystal Palace & Sydenham, South London
Hi, I’m Kate! I’m a newborn, maternity and family photographer working in and around Crystal Palace and Sydenham in South London. My sessions are all about capturing natural, relaxed moments—no awkward posing, no forced smiles—just your family as you really are.
Whether you’ve just welcomed a new baby, you’re soaking up the magic (and chaos) of toddler life, or you’re simply wanting to freeze time for a while, I’m here to help you document it all in a way that feels honest and full of heart.

Relaxed Family Photography at Home or in the Great Outdoors
I always come to you for sessions—either at home or at one of your favourite local parks. Newborn shoots are lovely and cosy in your own space, but if you'd prefer to head outside with your little ones, both Crystal Palace Park and Mayow Park in Sydenham are brilliant backdrops for relaxed family photos.
My approach is totally child-led, which means we take our time, follow your children’s lead, and let the natural moments unfold. I’ll gently guide things along while quietly capturing all the joy, giggles and connection as it happens.
Family Photography in Crystal Palace Park & & Mayow Park
Crystal Palace Park is a dream for family sessions—it’s got everything from woodlands and wide open lawns to the lake, sphinxes, and of course the dinosaurs (a big hit with little ones!). It’s full of character and space to explore, which makes it ideal for playful, natural photos.
Mayow Park in Sydenham is a gorgeous hidden gem—more peaceful and local-feeling, with lovely trees, open space and a sweet café if you fancy a post-shoot treat. It’s perfect for a slower-paced, intimate family shoot.
Whatever you’re imagining, we’ll plan a session that feels right for your family—relaxed, real, and full of heart.

Client reviews
Not sure a review on its own will do justice to Kate’s photography. You need to see the images she takes! We feel so grateful to have had Kate take photos of our daughter / they are so beautiful and she made me feel completely at ease the moment I met her. Thank you so much - these photos will be treasured forever.

We loved our shoot with Kate in her beautiful light studio. Her warm laidback nature immediately put us at ease, and she was incredibly understanding when our newborn promptly puked on the lovely clothes she’d lent him for the shoot. The pictures are simply gorgeous, she’s so talented. Thank you, Kate!— Quote Source

I could not recommend Kate more. Our little baby was 5 weeks old when we did the shoot and we had the best experience with Kate. She was lovely, patient, an immediate friend and a fly on the wall at the same time. She made us feel super comfortable when I was worried about feeling awkward! Can’t wait to do more shoots as our daughter grows up.
