“Kay is amazing at what she does and effortlessly shows how skillful she is with newborns.
Having a photographer who knows how to safely move our little boy around for some truly gorgeous images – it is priceless just to know our baby is safe and happy whilst having his photos!
Kay asked us our preferred colours/ style for the photoshoot before hand which she envisioned perfectly, I had to hold back the tears whilst I watch her work as it was just beautiful.
The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish in an environment Kay clearly cherishes and keeps beautiful for us to display her work and collection of quality props and accessories.
I am SO excited to see the finished products and can’t thank Kay enough
