Testimonials
I absolutely loved our experience with Kim. At our newborn shoot, she was so patient and calm with our baby and worked with us. There was no pressure and she allowed us to make the most of the experience. We ended up with so many beautiful photos it was so hard to choose but I am beyond happy with the end result and now have some beautiful memories captured to keep forever.

I highly recommend booking a photography session with Kim. I wasn't planning to take maternity or newborn photos, but I am SO glad I did! Kim tailored the session to my personality and made me, and my partner feel super comfortable. She also brought idea and outfits that pushed me outside of my comfort zone to create photographs I'll treasure forever.
- Caroline
We can't recommend Kim enough and have done so to many of our friends. She did a newborn/family shoot for us when our daughter was born, and she immediately put us all at ease. Our son, who was 5 at the time, was used to being the centre of attention and played up a little, but Kim managed to turn him around and paid him just as much attention as our newborn! The little touches and her gentle manner made it a really enjoyable experience, and we love the end product also. Our photographs are beautiful!
- Ashling
Kim made the whole experience very calming and managed to capture the beautiful bond that my 2 girls share, and a photo of our family that simply put is our family in a nut shell. I am so grateful to have met such an amazing photographer.

A limited number of sessions are available each month, so it is best to book your due date in with me during your pregnancy to secure your newborn session. Babies have their own schedule, so we secure your exact date once baby arrives and you are all safely home.
