# Catherine Barnes Photography
Catherine Barnes Photography is a portrait photography studio based in Ashford, Kent, serving families and individuals across the South East UK including Maidstone, Folkestone, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and Hastings.
Catherine specialises in capturing natural, authentic portraits that families will treasure for years to come. Her approach centres on putting clients at ease through a relaxed, informal style that encourages genuine interaction and personality to shine through in the final images. Rather than rigid direction, she keeps sessions light-hearted and fun, allowing natural moments to unfold organically in front of the camera.
With extensive experience working with children and animals, Catherine has developed expertise in handling the unpredictable dynamics of family photography. She actively embraces outdoor location shoots and isn't afraid to get involved—whether that means pulling on wellies or welcoming the family dog into the frame. This willingness to engage fully with her clients' lives sets her apart from more formal studio-based photographers.
Her portfolio spans multiple specialisms including family portraits, maternity and newborn photography, plus equine work. Client testimonials highlight the comfortable, enjoyable experience of working with Catherine, with families expressing gratitude for photographs they'll cherish indefinitely.
Catherine's philosophy prioritises genuine connection over technical perfection alone, making her ideal for clients seeking authentic, emotionally resonant family portraits rather than stiff, overly posed alternatives.
