Kitty Belle Photography has been capturing precious moments for families across the East Midlands since 2018. As a specialist newborn, baby, and children's photographer based in Shepshed near Loughborough, I combine seven years of dedicated experience with a deep understanding of the fleeting nature of childhood milestones. My home studio provides a warm, welcoming environment for creating timeless portraits that celebrate maternity journeys, newborn perfection, and first birthdays through cake smash sessions. Serving clients from Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Birmingham, and Coventry, I prioritise personalised service and meticulous attention to detail.Each session reflects my commitment to preserving authentic emotions and natural connections through carefully crafted compositions. The studio's one-client-per-day policy ensures undivided attention while maintaining strict hygiene standards for client safety. My background as a mother of three informs every aspect of service delivery, from practical advice on session preparation to understanding the unique needs of growing families.
