Moments by Katie Mitchell Photography

I’m Katie — mum and Gloucester-based family photographer — and I specialise in creating honest, relaxed family portraits that you’ll actually want to print and put on your walls. Whether we’re in my purpose-built Longlevens studio, out at a favourite outdoor location, or on-location around Gloucestershire, my focus is the same: capturing the small, unscripted moments that make your family unique. Why choose me? I limit myself to a small number of family sessions each month so every booking gets the time, care and attention it deserves. My approach is gentle and conversational — I’ll help even camera-shy children relax, encourage genuine interaction, and find the quieter, real moments between the noise. As a mum I understand how fast children change, so I work with families who want beautiful, timeless images they’ll treasure for years. How I work with you: each family session begins with a friendly consultation so I can understand what matters to you — favourite outfits, the style you love, and whether you prefer studio or outdoor images. On the day I create a calm atmosphere where children can be themselves; I mix natural, candid moments with styled family portraits so you get a varied gallery that suits both framed wall art and photo albums. After the shoot, you’ll be invited back to a relaxed in-person reveal where we view your images together. I offer expert advice on wall art and can create mockups so you can see how pieces will look in your home. What makes my portraits different: I combine years of family photography experience with a boutique, low-volume approach. Sessions are baby- and child-led, edits are crafted to enhance warmth and emotion, and every print and piece of wall art is produced to be an heirloom. I also back my work with a 100% happiness guarantee — if you don’t love your final photographs, I’ll make it right. If you’re looking for a Gloucester family photographer who values connection, craftsmanship and a relaxed experience, let’s talk. I’d love to help you freeze this phase of family life before it’s gone.
