Clicked by Kate

Stories Untold is at the heart of Kate’s family photography. Based in Great Sankey, Clicked by Kate specialises in honest, documentary-style family shoots that focus on connection, light and the small details that become precious over time. Kate’s work is made for the full-hearted and wild-spirited — families who want images that feel lived-in, true and timeless rather than over-styled. Why choose Kate? As a mother herself, Kate understands the rhythm of family life. She knows how to calm the camera-shy, chase bright-eyed toddlers and catch the quiet, fleeting moments between siblings and parents. Her relaxed, gentle direction and minimal posing put everyone at ease so she can capture real smiles, touches and everyday rituals that tell your story. Natural light, thoughtful composition and a soft, emotive edit are consistent throughout her work, giving galleries a cohesive, nostalgic quality. How she works with families: Every session starts with a friendly chat — a phone call, coffee or email — and a short pre-shoot questionnaire so Kate can learn what matters to you. She tailors each shoot to your home, favourite outdoor spot or a mix of both, always prioritising comfort and authenticity. During the session Kate blends unobtrusive documentary capture with occasional, gentle prompts to keep the day flowing and relaxed. Families receive a helpful common-questions pack before the shoot so everyone knows what to expect and how to prepare. Areas of focus: While family photography is Kate’s speciality, she also documents the earliest chapters—newborns and baby sessions—always in a relaxed, lifestyle style rather than heavily posed studio setups. Children’s portraits, milestone shoots and family portraits for special occasions are all approached with the same warmth and attention to detail. Additional options: For families who want moving images, Kate offers unobtrusive family films as an optional add-on—short, emotive clips that complement the photography. Workshops and learning sessions are also available for parents who want to improve how they capture family life themselves. If you’re in Great Sankey or the wider North West and want professional family photos that feel real and keep returning you to the moment, Kate would love to hear your story and help preserve it.
