Kate Rusnak Photography

Kate Rusnak is a specialist family photographer based in Borehamwood, working across Herts and into London to find the best setting for your shoot. As a mother and former teacher and nanny, Kate brings a warm, patient presence to every session — she knows how quickly children grow and how priceless those everyday moments become. Her goal is simple: to create modern, timeless family portraits that feel natural, calm and true to your family’s personality. Why choose Kate? Her experience with children is at the heart of her work. She builds a relaxed atmosphere where little ones feel safe and parents can enjoy the session too. Rather than stiff posing, Kate uses gentle prompts, play and movement to encourage genuine smiles, quiet connections and spontaneous expressions. Whether you prefer an in-studio portrait, a lifestyle session at home or a location shoot among familiar outdoor spots, Kate tailors the approach so the result is honest and beautiful — images you’ll be proud to display as wall art. Kate listens carefully to your wishes and combines your ideas with her creative eye. From sibling interactions to tender parent-and-baby moments, she focuses on the small details that become lifelong memories. Her editing style favours natural colours and subtle retouching that preserves the feeling of the moment. After the shoot you’ll receive an easy-to-use online gallery to view and select your favourite images — Kate supports families through the selection process so you can choose photographs that work well as prints and keepsakes. While family photography is her specialist focus, Kate also captures newborn and children sessions that slot naturally into family storytelling — ideal for documenting milestones from newborn days through babyhood and beyond. Her calm, patient approach makes even camera-shy children relax, and parents often comment on how enjoyable and stress-free the experience is. Based in Borehamwood and serving the wider GB area on request, Kate aims to create photographs that warm your heart for years to come. If you want a family photoshoot that feels relaxed, authentic and crafted with care, Kate Rusnak Photography brings the experience and sensitivity families trust to capture the moments that matter.
