Questions
Frequently asked questions
These are the questions families ask Kate Elizabeth Photography most often before booking, covering session types, the in-home studio in Ballarat, on-location sessions around Creswick and Clunes, how booking works and what to wear. If your question is not answered here, send an enquiry and Kate will reply personally.
What types of photography do you offer?
I specialise in warm, natural portraits of families, children and newborns, along with celebration and Christmas sessions. Whether it is a milestone, a new baby or simply capturing your family as they are right now, every session is relaxed and unhurried, with plenty of room for genuine moments and real personalities to shine.
Where are you based and where do you photograph?
I work from a relaxed in-home studio in Ballarat, and photograph on location around Creswick, Clunes and the surrounding areas. If you are nearby and unsure whether I cover your area, just get in touch and ask, I am always happy to travel a little for the right session.
Do you offer in-home studio sessions?
Yes. My in-home studio is a calm, comfortable space, which is especially lovely for newborns and young children who feel more settled somewhere quiet and warm. If you would prefer a natural outdoor setting instead, we can plan an on-location session in a spot that suits your family.
How do I book a session?
Simply send an enquiry through the form on this page with a little about your family and the portraits you have in mind. I will be in touch to talk through the details, answer any questions and find a date that works for you, so everything feels easy from the very first message.
What should we wear or bring?
Soft, comfortable clothing in gentle, complementary tones tends to photograph beautifully and keeps the focus on your family. For little ones, favourite toys or comforters are always welcome. If you would like a hand planning outfits before your session, just ask, I am happy to help you feel prepared and relaxed.

Can't speak more highly of Kate and her service. I've had the privilege of Kate photographing all my family's milestone moments, newborns, seasonal photos and our wedding. Kate is amazing with both children and animals and gets everyone comfortable around the camera. I'm so grateful to have such beautiful photos to look back on.
Briony P
Kate made me feel so comfortable in our photoshoot. We laughed, she helped me with poses and I loved the end shots she produced. Would happily use Kate again next time I need some photos.
Hannah Baker
We were so lucky to have Kate photograph our newborn. She came prepared with outfit options, which was so reassuring as first-time parents. Kate was absolutely incredible with our little girl, so patient and gentle, and never rushed her. She even captured some special shots with our beagle. We absolutely love how our photos turned out and couldn't recommend Kate highly enough.
