Kate Hollings Photography

Newborn, Child, & Family Photographer

Welcome!

My name is Kate, and I am a natural light, on-location photographer who specializes in photographing newborns, babies, young children, and families.

I am passionate about documenting a little one’s early days, months, and years — what one’s family and life was like, and what was so beautiful and special about those times. I create images that are natural and honest, yet refined and beautiful. I look for the feelings, experiences, and scenes that are true to my subjects’ everyday. That is what I want to record forever in a photograph.

I hope you’ll take a look at my galleries and explore my Instagram feed, where I add narrative to my photos — of my clients and my own family — to give honest perspective and share insights on parenthood, photography, and the life balancing act. And of course, let me know if you’re interested in a session!

Sweet but definitely adding some spice -- it's inc Sweet but definitely adding some spice -- it's increased tremendously since she returned to school more fully. She's figuring out how to operate independently again after so many months home with me 💕

90% of the time, she happily humors me when I want to take her photograph. I lucked out on this day 📸 now to decide which photo to frame?!?

A beautiful morning for a beautiful adoption sessi A beautiful morning for a beautiful adoption session! Honoring their daughter's heritage, we did this family's photos outside the Freer & Sackler Galleries. How I've missed going to our city's museums and art galleries! To capture such a joyous occasion, in the beautiful Smithsonian gardens, was just inspiring and energizing. I've felt a pep in my step all week.

When I told him I wanted to take a quick portrait, When I told him I wanted to take a quick portrait, I got the “UGH you’re gonna make me wear a nice shirt.....” I told him absolutely not. He hates polos and collared shirts, so a picture in that would be completely inaccurate. And with that, he happily sat for me — haircut by mom, flyaways and t-shirt approved by him.

Black and White, or Color? Studio set up was in p Black and White, or Color? 
Studio set up was in place for a one-year classic portrait session, so I decided to get some updated portraits of my own babes. Goodness they grow up so fast...

Getting this child's hair of our face requires a magician, so I actually love how some tendrils escape. Sometimes it's the tiniest details that tell a story, and maybe only mama really 'sees' that story, but all the more important to capture so she can remember it years from now...

If you'd prefer an outdoor session, I'm happy to offer that as well -- we've had beautiful outdoor shoots across the past 13 months, and this spring is giving us such amazing blossoms in DC.

April 1st ❄️❄️ Thank you for the April Foo April 1st ❄️❄️ Thank you for the April Fools’ Day joke, Mother Nature. Not what we expected when we planned this little getaway, but isn’t that how the last year had gone?! 

Littlest One asked, “mama, isn’t it spring?” Meanwhile, her big sister loves the cold and couldn’t wait to get out and catch snowflakes on her nose.
