Kate Vincent Photography

Kate Vincent is a specialist maternity photographer based in the heart of Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Her work is rooted in a gentle, soulful approach: she seeks to honour the strength and vulnerability of pregnancy by creating relaxed, honest images that reflect the real you. If you value connection, atmosphere and timeless portraiture, Kate’s maternity sessions are designed for those who want photographs that feel meaningful—not staged. What makes Kate different is her devotion to making every mother feel seen. A mum of two herself and an ex-teacher, she blends patience, intuition and a calm, reassuring presence to put even the most camera-shy clients at ease. Her studio on Hitchin High Street is a warm, natural-light sanctuary where clients can switch off from the rush of daily life. For those who prefer the outdoors, Kate crafts ethereal, nature-led shoots at sunrise or sunset, using the landscape to complement the quiet power of pregnancy. Kate’s photography style is soft, natural and emotive. She looks for the small gestures and quiet moments—the curve of a bump cradled by loving hands, the furtive smiles, the way light falls on skin—to build a visual narrative you’ll return to again and again. Her sessions are collaborative and relaxed: she offers a pre-shoot consultation to plan outfits, locations and the mood you want to capture, and she provides a carefully curated client wardrobe so you can arrive ready to feel confident and beautiful. Working with Kate is an invitation to slow down. During the shoot she gently guides poses but prioritises connection and authenticity over rigid direction. Her goal is to create images that transport you back to this time—images your child will one day cherish, and that will remind you how miraculous the journey to motherhood felt. While maternity work sits at the core of her practice, Kate’s wider family photography sensibility—her eye for tender moments and natural storytelling—feeds directly into how she captures pregnancy. If you’re an expectant mother searching for a specialist photographer in Hitchin who treats your pregnancy with reverence and warmth, Kate Vincent offers a considered, personal experience tailored to celebrating you and your growing baby.
