I don’t often show myself on Instagram so I feel I don’t often show myself on Instagram so I feel a reintroduction is long overdue!

Firstly, thank you so, so much for following me. I really appreciate you being here and am honoured to be able to showcase my work to you. Thanks also to those who entrust me to create photos for them, it’s always an honour.

I’m Kate, and I’ve been a pro photographer for ten years, and more recently a videographer, too. I’ve photographed most things, from British royalty to pet shrimp, and I’m rarely without a camera in my hands, always looking the best light and angles, and seeking out the story of even the tiniest moment.

I’m lots of other things, too - a mum to two girls, a rubbish cook, a never-quite-made-it musical theatre performer forever condemned to give shower only performances; I’m a 1st class graduate of primary education, and a soon-to-be-published author of Sapphic dystopian fiction. I adore chocolate buttons but for some reason can’t stand the real thing (buttons, that is. Like, a well-masked phobia! Why are they so freakish?!).

I’m 41 and just reflecting on my photography career, which I never imagined I’d even enter, let alone live and work for a decade (so far)!

As someone who once imagined an academic path, I’m proud I took an alternative route and made myself the boss! Though today’s world thinks more positively about self-employment and creative careers, I remember it to be a bold choice, a risk, a rebellion. And yet here I am, in a job that still highly motivates me and gives me all the creative joy I know I need to be happy. I’ll always feel fortunate for that.

I’ve helped preserve memories for families, celebrate successes for charities, marketed products/services for businesses, captured wedding days for couples, and loved it all.

It’s not always easy, and there have been times I was so tired I forgot my name, but that’s the price to pay for dedication. And dedication is a skill as much needed in this industry as photography!

Thank you to everyone for your belief and trust in me. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to make my passion my living. I hope I have many more years ahead to live creatively and make people happy with my work.

This is the incredible Jo Wood, whose best-selling This is the incredible Jo Wood, whose best-selling book launch I recently shot at The Shard.

She’s also my (industry-leading) accountant, so I get a slice of her amazing business brain every so often. And something Jo said to me during the shoot was, ‘What you know isn’t common knowledge.’

I think so many of us need to hear this in times of self-doubt. How often do we forget that our unique experiences, perspective, and knowledge are valuable and worth sharing?

So tonight, I wanted to capture that message here for you. Know you have something special to offer the world.

Ok, there are plenty more things to fear than iron Ok, there are plenty more things to fear than ironing a backdrop! I have no idea when this iron last made an appearance. I didn’t even realised we owned one until my partner called upon an 8-year-old memory, when our last garment received its final decreasing. Since then, I’ve been mightily proud of my wrinkles, a sign of a life lived outside the domestic habitat. 😘

To those who know me well, it’s no secret that I harbour a deep desire to be a voiceover artist, and that comedy videos are a hobby! Hope you enjoy this silly mockumentry in my best David Attenborough style.

I adored creating these book launch images for Rub I adored creating these book launch images for Ruby Roe’s sapphic fantasy romance novel.

I’m extending this service to other authors who’d like some marketing images of their books for their social media, emails and website. More details on my website soon!

Also, you should read it, it’s fabulous! If you haven’t heard of Ruby Roe until today, then it may be because she’s a pen name for the incredible @sachablackauthor whose famous Rebel Author podcast has taught me so much for own book, coming this year!

I had the opportunity to learn from Sacha in a one-to-one recently, and now I’m excited to put her words of wisdom into action for my own book launch, for which I’ll be shooting the photos, of course! Please follow me @katehennessyauthor for updates!
