Kat Southby of Red Robin Photography in Hucknall specialises in maternity photography. Through relaxed studio, in‑home or on‑location sessions she captures natural, confident pregnancy and bump portraits.
Hello — I’m Kat, the face behind Red Robin Photography. Based in the Hucknall/Nottingham area, I specialise in maternity photography and love helping expecting mothers feel beautiful, relaxed and celebrated. With almost 25 years of experience working with families and years of professional Photoshop retouching, my focus is on creating timeless images that honour this once-in-a-lifetime season. My approach is gentle, conversational and centred on you. I aim to capture the quiet confidence, tenderness and unique curves of pregnancy rather than stiff, posed images. Whether you prefer the comfort of my in‑home studio, the intimacy of a session in your own home, or the natural light and open space of an on‑location shoot, I tailor each session to your personality and comfort level. I encourage simple styling and natural movement so the photos reflect who you are right now — the connection, the glow and the anticipation. Practical experience matters when expecting mothers need extra care and reassurance. I’ll guide you through flattering poses, mindful wardrobe choices and gentle adjustments to ensure you feel supported throughout the shoot. I also understand timing: many clients choose the later stages of the third trimester when the bump is beautifully rounded, and I’ll advise on scheduling so you’re comfortable and ready on the day. Beyond the session itself, I bring a seasoned eye to editing and retouching. My long experience with Photoshop allows me to gently refine images while keeping them natural and authentic — enhancing light, colour and detail without ever losing the honest emotion of the moment. While maternity photography is my specialism, I’m happy to include immediate family in your session when you wish to capture the family together for this transition. My style remains documentary‑led and natural, prioritising real interactions over forced smiles. If you’re in Hucknall, Nottingham or the surrounding area and would like a relaxed, professional maternity photoshoot, I’d love to hear your story and help you plan a session that feels personal and memorable. Get in touch and we’ll design a maternity portrait experience that celebrates you and the exciting journey ahead.
