Hi, I’m kate
Capturing love, laughter, and the fleeting moments in between — because they’re the ones that matter most.
Hi, I’m Kate - photographer, and chaser of those little moments. I believe photography is a tool - a chance to capture a moment in time. Each image serves to preserve not just how the moment looked, but how it felt.
After 11 years working in healthcare and facing my own health battles, I was introduced to photography as a way to empower myself and see the beauty in the scars - mine specifically. Following the birth of my son in 2025, my desire to do something creative blossomed and I was drawn to pick up my camera once again.
Little Beams was born from my love of capturing a feeling, and the warmth, wonder, and realness of life. The most beautiful moments aren’t staged; they unfold naturally, in the giggles, quiet glances, and in the way the light hits.
Life isn’t about the big milestones - it’s the little beams of light along the way.
FAQ
Do you travel for photoshoots?
I am based in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand - but I love travelling. So send me a message and reach out, I would love to chat with you about what you’re looking for.
What should we wear for our session?
Comfort is key. I recommend neutral tones, and clothes that make you feel comfortable and beautiful. I am currently in the process of curating a client wardrobe.
How long does it take to get our photos?
I aim to get your photos back to you within a month of your shoot with me. If there is likely to be a delay, I will notify you ASAP. If you need a tighter turnaround, this can be discussed with me at the time of your booking.
Do you offer albums or prints?
Not at this stage, but watch this space.
