About : Kath Evans
| Fine Art Photographer in Brecon, Mid Wales
I run a specialist photography studio focused on newborn, maternity, child, and family portraiture.
I have been successfully running my own business for 16 years. My journey has been anything but conventional.
I built my business from scratch while raising three amazing children, all of whom are neurodivergent.
In many ways, we’ve grown together, me as a mother and creative, and them as beautifully unique individuals.
Running a business while navigating the complex and demanding needs of my family hasn’t been easy.
For the past five years, my husband has been seriously unwell, and I’ve been the sole earner and the emotional anchor for our family.
Just over two years ago, I also lost my beloved mum suddenly to sepsis, a loss that shook me to my core as she was my best friend and biggest supporter.
Just before turning 40 in 2025, I was diagnosed with ADHD and autism, bringing a profound new perspective on both my past and how I operate today.
Meaning I now had to find myself again.
Despite everything, or perhaps because of it, I’ve poured my heart into my photography. It’s more than a career. It’s been my creative outlet, my independence, and my safe space.
I’ve captured thousands of memories for families over the years, and every image I create is rooted in empathy, patience, and deep human connection.
For years, I thought I wasn’t a people person, but I’ve come to realise that in fact I am, just when I’m behind my camera, capturing moments that otherwise would be missed.
My journey has been challenging, but it’s made me fiercely resilient, compassionate and proud of the business I’ve built.
Photography gives me purpose and grounding, even when everything else feels manic.
Even in the darkest moments like losing my mum, or holding the family together during my husband’s illness, I’ve found strength in showing up, even imperfectly.
I don’t pretend it’s easy.
But I’m proud of my ability to keep going.
Not just for survival, but to thrive, to grow, and to show my children that resilience and passion can carry you through even the hardest times.
I’m proud that my work has meaning.
I don’t just take photographs,
I create lasting memories for families.
I make people feel seen, safe, and celebrated, especially children and parents who may feel overlooked or misunderstood elsewhere.
That emotional connection is everything to me.
I’m committed to making my studio a safe, welcoming space where every family feels seen, heard, and valued, especially those who might struggle to find that elsewhere.
Photography is my anchor and my way of turning chaos into beauty.
If my journey shows anything, it’s that even in the hardest times, we can create something meaningful, stories of love, survival, and hope.
And in every frame I see a reminder that beauty exists even in broken places.
Just as I’ve found strength in showing up for my own family, I feel privileged to show up for others, capturing moments that remind us all
we are seen, we are loved, and we are never alone.
Life is like photography - we develop from the negatives
My Studio is based in the market town of Talgarth, just 45 minutes from Merthyr Tydfil, 50 minutes from Hereford and 20 minutes from Abergavenny.
My studio has 2 rooms, a dedicated newborn room, and a maternity and family room. I have a reception area where tea and coffee are in full supply.
The local park is just around the corner of the studio so siblings are able to pop there during the newborn photo shoot until they are need (to save them getting bored) and the local co op is just around the corner too if you forget any snacks for them
“From the start of the session to the finish you were amazing. You made me feel so confident and I’ve never felt prettier. You have captured me and my husband perfectly, we are totally blown away.
We love every single image and you are just an amazing person - I cannot thank you enough!”
“I have just received my beautiful newborn photos. I am absolutely delighted with them. Everything was so at ease from first booking in The newborn session to the day itself. Kath was so wonderful and caring with my Baby it made the session relaxed and at ease. I now have some beautiful pictures of my boys that I'll always treasure. Thank you so much again Kath.”
I will be recommending you to everyone and anyone! The way you can get people to just relax and be themselves even when they hate being in front of the camera is amazing. Our photo’s are stunning and the wall art is just out of this world. I’ve been to you every year for 6 years now and we would never go anywhere else. Please never stop!
