Services
I'm a creative entrepreneur, professional problem solver, and competitively patient - all attributes that help as a baby photographer. I work from my home studio in Bow in East London to create images my clients love of their favourite people in the world. My style is simple and elegant. I use a few props that help create gorgeous portraits of your baby, but my focus is always on them, their expressions, details and personality.
Your newborn photography session should be booked during your pregnancy to guarantee availability, I only have 8 sessions available per month to ensure I can fit you in even if your baby comes early or late. Most people book after their 25 weeks scan, although you can book earlier if you want to! I sometimes have last minute availability so please do get in touch if your baby is already here to check.
Once your baby can hold their head up and smile, there is no wrong time to photograph them! Sitter sessions are highly recommended between 7-12 months, when babies are happy and content sitting up and they can't run away from the camera! I love taking photos of children of all ages, so if they are 6 months or 6 years we can plan the perfect session for you and your family.
Maternity photo sessions are a great way to capture the amazing changes that happen to your body during pregnancy, as well as making you feel like a goddess at a time when you will likely feel like the complete opposite! Whether they are to go on the wall, in an album or for your own personal record, so many women tell me they wish they had captured this incredible time in their life.
A family photography session is aimed at families with a child older than 12 months old, and they are great for families with more than one child. Your family photography session can take place in my home studio in Bow, East London, or in a park, my favourite Parks are Greenwich, Victoria, Wanstead and Haggerston.

Amazing kid friendly studio! Elizabeth took such nice photos of our two year old at her nursery school that we visited her studio to get portraits of our four year old too. She makes little ones smile and laugh with such natural ease, it was a joy! Not to mention the photos are beautiful and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

We had our first family & baby (7 month old) photos with Kathryn. Kathryn was super professional, responsive and informative. All this made for a perfect session with the most beautiful pictures. Kathryn was great with our little boy - he was super entertained. The studio is lovely and comfortable.
Kathryn was understanding, worked around our schedule and was super patient. Absolutely loved the session and the pictures are a dream. Thank you so much Kathryn.
We highly recommend!!!

Kathryn did an absolutely phenomenal job, capturing the essence and beauty of our little lady 🧡 ... Not only did the images turn out stunning but watching her handle our 4 week old baby throughout the entire session was like magic. Her studio was lovely, warm and cosy which our daughter loved. My husband and I were left to relax on the sofa with some delicious snacks during the session, Kathryn took care of everything, even changed her nappy when needed. We even left the photoshoot learning some great tips on how to put our baby to sleep and how to swaddle her (something we thought she hated

We can’t recommend Elizabeth May Photography enough. She did an amazing jobs with our family’s pictures and was able to keep our four months old baby entertained for more than two hours while shooting. Grandparents were moved by the albums and we’ll definitely be back for our son 1 year milestone :)

We were a bit apprehensive about booking a newborn photography session during COVID times but Kathryn was already fully vaccinated and took all the necessary measures to make us feel at ease. The studio is beautiful, cozy and we instantly felt we made the right decision.
Kathryn’s photography style is amazing and focuses more on babies (than unnecessary props) and she was able to accommodate all our crazy demands :). She was extremely patient with the baby and took some beautiful pictures that we will treasure for life. We took the opportunity to have not only baby pictures, but many family

I found Kathryn to be professional and so understanding during the entire process. Being a new mum and taking the newborn pictures so soon was a bit daunting but I do not regret it! My daughter and our family were well taken care of and the pictures and prices were superb. Highly recommend! We've booked for her 1 year shoot already!

I can’t recommend Elizabeth May photography enough. From first contact to the shoot I felt like Kathryn totally understood the images I wanted, and delivered the most beautiful photos of my baby. We even got a bonus family photo at the session which hadn’t been something I’d considered before it was suggested. We will be back!
