Specialist family photographer in Chichester. Emily creates relaxed, natural family photos in her cosy home studio, at your home or a favourite outdoor spot—capturing real connection and personality.
Hey — I’m Emily, the photographer behind Emily Kate Studios, based in Chichester, West Sussex. Family photography is at the heart of what I do. As a mum myself and a trained photographer (Foundation Degree, Brighton 2017), I understand how precious and fleeting family moments are — and how important it is to capture them in a way that feels honest, relaxed and timeless. I specialise in family photography and family portraits, focusing on natural connection rather than stiff poses. Whether we’re in my cosy home studio, in the comfort of your house, or out at a location that means something to you, my aim is always the same: to create a calm, friendly atmosphere where everyone can be themselves. I love capturing playful interactions between children, quiet, intimate parent-and-child moments, and the everyday laughter and tenderness that make a family unique. My approach is warm, gentle and personal. I take the time to get to know you before the shoot so I can tailor the session to your family’s personality and needs. You’ll receive guidance ahead of time to help you prepare, and I’ll work at a pace that suits little ones — patience and flexibility are part of the process. I welcome well-behaved pets too, because they’re part of the family portrait as much as anyone else. Why choose Emily Kate Studios? My photography style emphasises soft, light-filled imagery and candid emotion. I combine a practiced eye with a friendly, low-pressure session style that helps even camera-shy children relax. As a parent, I know those small, ordinary moments become the most treasured, and I love turning them into images that hang proudly on your walls and live in family albums. If you’re looking for professional family photos in Chichester that feel genuine and joyful, let’s chat. I’d love to capture your family’s story — whether it’s a yearly portrait, a milestone session, or a maternity shoot on the same journey. Together we’ll create images you’ll treasure for years to come. Emily x
