Hi, I’m Kate!

NEWCASTLE WEDDING, FAMILY AND BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Since becoming a Mum to two spirited tiny humans, I deeply appreciate the significance of capturing your journey at every stage.

On every session, my mission is to make you feel relaxed and confident so you can enjoy your time with your special people.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet!

Kate is the best! We are so thrilled with our wedding photos, honestly couldn’t have hoped for a better set of images. We were so lucky to have Kate there with us on our big day, she made it easy, fun and she didn’t miss a beat.
