Red Robin Photography

Hello — I’m Kat from Red Robin Photography, a family specialist based in Hucknall (Woodthorpe area). Family photography is my core passion: I love capturing the everyday personality, laughter and tiny interactions that make your family unique. With almost 25 years behind the camera and years spent as a school and nursery photographer and early childhood educator, I know how to create a calm, friendly atmosphere that helps children and parents relax and be themselves. Why choose me for your family photos? I work gently and patiently to find the moments that feel true to your family. My approach is conversational and playful rather than staged — I’d rather wait for a genuine smile than force a pose. That experience working with young children means I can usually connect with even the shyest little ones and capture those authentic expressions that become treasured family heirlooms. I shoot in a few different ways to suit your needs: in my cosy home studio in Woodthorpe/Hucknall, on location at a favourite outdoor spot, or in your own home for lifestyle portraits. Each session is relaxed and personalised — I listen to what matters to you, suggest ideas that suit your family, and create a comfortable pace so everyone feels happy during the shoot. For larger groups or special requests, I use careful posing and editing techniques to ensure a polished final image while keeping the spirit of your family intact. Beyond taking photographs, I bring strong Photoshop and retouching skills developed over many years. That means subtle, professional finishing to each image and the ability to help photographers and families with editing needs when required. I’m happy to handle background tidying, minor adjustments, or careful stitching for larger group shots so your final portraits look timeless and clean. Whether you want a contemporary family portrait, playful children’s session or gentle lifestyle photos at home, I aim to create images you’ll be proud to display and pass down. Get in touch and we’ll plan a session that reflects your family exactly as they are right now — relaxed, natural and full of personality.
