Hey, I’m Kate !
LET’S MAKE MAGIC TOGETHER
“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.”
Dorothea Lange
My Why?
Becoming a mother was the awakening of my soul. A physical and mental change that subtly took over my being , yet so monumental it’s changed my world.
Two years into the beautiful relentlessness of motherhood I felt a strong need to ‘do’ something else with my life. A previous teacher with no urge to return to the gruelling profession of nurturing and moulding 30 tiny human beings that were not my own. This portion of my soul was now reserved for my two only. Motherhood had become my definition, my calling, a role I was more than willing to surrender to. But there was a part of me not totally fulfilled by the many, many hours of breastfeeding, rocking my babies to sleep, wiping their full soft cheeks after many a meal lovingly (but sometimes not so enthusiastically prepared). Always a creative at heart, I had an itch that wasn’t being scratched by the totality of motherhood. This is how Kate Vincent Photography was born.
An urgent desire to capture my own rapidly changing babies, led me to train in newborn photography. Safely posing and capturing snoozing newborns, sometimes only days earth-side. Whilst I loved, and do still love photographing the ‘perfect’ shot of your new little bundle, the connection between new parents and their visible outpouring of love for their new baby soon became my obsession. Witnessing a love story unfold before my very eyes and documenting it behind my lens is my passion and privilege.
If you would like to celebrate your love story, whether it be with a new soul growing in your womb, your newborn baby fresh into the world, your family growing up before your very eyes, or even your love story with yourself. I am here for it all, with a passion that flows through my veins and is translated through my imagery. I would love to capture your story.
My Beautiful Studio is waiting for you
My studio is a calm retreat where you can relax, switch off and embrace an intimate photo session with your loved ones. Situated centrally in Hitchin High Street, the studio is surrounded with the vibrant buzz of life in a family centred, cafe rich town. Perfect for a post or pre shoot brunch or lunch.
I will welcome you into my space with comfortable seating, hot and cold drinks, biscuits (a good variety, not just a rich tea!) and soothing music. Fancy a nap while I sooth and photograph your newborn? Go for it. Want to chat all things birth, babies and motherhood? I’m here for it. My job is to to make your session as relaxed and enjoyable as possible and I have put my heart and soul into creating an environment to do just that!
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
