Sarah & Tom - January 2025
We had our newborn session at Katrina’s studio in Dinas Powys and it was such a lovely experience. She made us feel so comfortable and handled our little one with so much care. The images are beautiful and something we’ll treasure forever. Couldn’t recommend Shutter Hire’s newborn photography highly enough.
Emma & James - May 2025
Katrina did a family photoshoot for us at a park in Cardiff and it was brilliant. She made everyone feel relaxed, and the photos captured our personalities perfectly.

The studio is in Dinas Powys, just outside Cardiff, with easy access from across the Vale of Glamorgan and South Wales.
Do you offer photo and video for weddings?
