Su Kaye Photography

I’m Su Kaye — a family photography specialist based in Borehamwood with more than 25 years’ experience creating studio portraits families love to live with. I believe every family has its own story and character; my job is to translate that into images you’ll be proud to put on your walls and pass down through generations. My approach is calm, personal and practical. With a background in teaching and a psychology degree, I work conversationally to put children (and adults) at ease, gently guiding moments rather than staging them. Sessions are relaxed and unhurried so I can capture genuine expressions — the quiet glances, the cuddles, the playful chaos — all the small details that make your family unique. I use professional studio lighting and thoughtful composition to create portraits that feel timeless, contemporary and true to you. Families often tell me they were worried their children might be too lively or shy — I’ve seen it all and I know how to get natural smiles and honest connection. Snacks, patience and a little humour help, and I make sure everyone enjoys the experience. Where pets are part of the family I’m happy to include them too — together we record the relationships that matter most. Your session includes a relaxed studio shoot followed by a design meeting where we choose favourite images and plan how best to display them at home. I love helping clients translate images into beautiful framed art or keepsake albums so your photographs become part of daily life, lifting your spirits every time you walk past them. As an award-winning photographer and Fellow of UK professional bodies, I combine technical skill with a deeply human approach. My work has been recognised by national and international competitions, but what matters most is the way my clients feel when they see their finished portraits. If you’re in Borehamwood or nearby and want family photographs that feel honest, warm and artful, let’s talk.
