About Moments by Katie Mitchell Photography

Hi, I'm Katie, owner of award-winning photography studio, Moments by Katie Mitchell Photography. I specialise in maternity, newborn, and family photography, and help families turn their most precious moments into beautiful artwork they can enjoy at home every single day. My purpose-built studio in Longlevens is designed specifically for families - a calm, welcoming space where even the most chaotic photoshoots feel manageable. Whether you're expecting your first baby, have a houseful of toddlers, or want multi-generational family portraits, I've got you covered. I work with families throughout Gloucester, Cheltenham, and the Cotswolds, offering both studio sessions and outdoor photography across Gloucestershire. **What Makes Me Different** My background in the Army brings something unique to family photography: meticulous planning and organisation, and a sense of calm in the face of unpredictable babies, exhausted parents, and toddler meltdowns. I plan for the chaos, so you don't have to stress about it. My job is all about removing regret. I work with families who fear missing their most irreplaceable moments - the tiny fingers that won't stay tiny, those early smiles, the way your baby looks at you with complete trust. My clients aren't just buying photos; they're preserving memories they'll never get back. I take a completely no-pressure approach. Unlike high-pressure photography chains, I offer relaxed, in-person reveal appointments where you see your photos beautifully displayed before making any decisions. There's no rush, no pushy sales tactics - just a relaxed environment where you can enjoy the process. As a mother myself, I understand both the chaos and the magic of raising children. I know what it's like to be sleep-deprived, to worry about how you'll look in photos, and to wonder if professional photography is really "worth it." That's exactly why I do this - because years from now, you won't remember what you spent, but you'll treasure having captured these moments that disappeared far too quickly. **My Approach** What you'll receive isn't just digital files - it's a complete experience from the moment you enquire through to the moment your wall art is hanging in your home. I guide you through every step: what to wear, how to prepare, and where your photos will look best in your home. I specialise in creating memories that become part of your home, not forgotten files on a hard drive. Many of my clients return year after year, not because I'm the cheapest option, but because I deliver an experience and results they can't find elsewhere. I've been trusted by families throughout Gloucestershire for over 8 years, capturing everything from first pregnancies through to cake smash celebrations and beyond. If you're expecting, have a new baby, or want to capture your growing family before they grow up too fast, I'd love to hear from you.
