Hello, I’m Kat and I’m a

Family Photographer in Umhlanga and Ballito, KZN

Families are like snowflakes. Not a single one is the same, and that wondrous blend of madness, magic and mayhem that makes your family extraordinary deserves to be captured and celebrated in all it’s glory.

kind words

OMG!
These are
incredible!

 
 

You are just brilliant
with children and so
good at getting
those perfect natural shots!

- Kelly, Umhlanga

 

Easy, effortless, fun!

Natural habitats, natural moments and natural light. At home, in the garden, on the beach, a park, forest or trail - wherever your happiness flows most freely is where my camera and I will meet you.

I am a mom too, so I keep the shoots and the packages simple. No ‘pay per image’ here. Enjoy full galleries, a handy preparation guide, and enjoyable child-focussed shoots.

NO THANKS

Bright studio lights and small spaces
Stiff and serious
Sunday Best

YES PLEASE

Endless shores and winding woodland paths
A shell-collecting adventure.
A unicorn-spotting ramble, a flower picking picnic.
Just you and the people you love most, and your new friend Kat.

FAQs

  • Fill in the form below and include your preferred dates. Once we choose a slot I will send you a client pack, contract and invoice. Once this is paid your slot is secured.

  • I give my families some guidance on this in my helpful hints sheet that goes out after booking. It’s a really simple set of guidelines that should work with what you already have in the wardrobe!

  • We will reschedule to another date that suits us both.

  • Golly not at all. We will go for a walk and I will offer some really easy directions. ‘Walk along the water’s edge’ ‘Everybody look for crabs’ ‘Who can pick up the most sticks’ - I like to keep it really simple, that way it is - erm - child’s play!

LET’S FREEZE TIME

When it comes down to it - this is all about memories. Not just for you, but for your children too.
Until we can bend the laws of time and space a photograph is the best way to grab hold of those precious minutes, hours, days, months and years that seem to barrel past in a blur of busyness. Take an hour, gather, stop, smile and soak in the unbelievably special place you are in, right now, with those that matter to you the most.

About me

Hello! I’m so glad you’re reading this - because it means we might be friends very soon!

I’ve been a photographer for over a decade. Weddings are a big part of what I do.

With big-scale love at the centre of my work, it was inevitable that families would come into focus, and boy am I glad they have!

Before I was behind the lens full time - I was a Magazine Editor.
Before that I was an award-winning editorial designer and copywriter.

I’m all about stories, and telling them beautifully.

Especially stories about the kinds of bonds that nothing can break.

Can’t wait to tell yours xoxo
