Sue Kennedy is a specialist portrait photographer in Harlow, creating natural, print-first maternity, baby and child portraits. Relaxed studio sessions that result in meaningful wall art.
I’m Sue — a portrait specialist based at Parndon Mill, Harlow, dedicated to helping busy parents stop time for a moment and keep the memories. With two decades of experience photographing babies, children and expectant parents, I focus on creating relaxed, natural portraits that feel real and look beautiful on your wall. My approach is personal and print-led. I believe photographs should live in your home, not only on a screen, so I guide every family from the first conversation to the moment your portraits are displayed. That means a calm, tailored studio session where we work with your child’s personality — not against it — and an in-person viewing where your favourite images are shown larger than life during a private film-style screening. Choosing your portraits becomes a joyful part of the experience rather than an afterthought. Sessions are crafted around your family and your baby’s stage. Whether you’re booking a maternity portrait to celebrate pregnancy or a baby and child session to capture a fleeting age, I design each shoot to feel relaxed, fun and authentic. As a parent myself, I understand the small, easily-missed moments that make up a childhood, and I aim to capture those mischievous grins, tender snuggles and curious expressions with patience and care. What sets my studio apart is the focus on lasting artwork. From carefully edited images to bespoke wall portraits and story frames, the end result is a tangible piece of your family’s story — something a child can point to and say, “That’s me.” I’m proud to welcome families from Harlow, Bishop’s Stortford, Sawbridgeworth, Epping, Ware and surrounding villages to my welcoming studio at Parndon Mill, where there’s plenty of parking and a relaxed riverside setting. If you want more than a handful of digital files and are ready for a considered portrait experience, let’s have a quick chat. I’ll talk you through how we’ll tailor the session to your family, answer your questions and make sure you leave with portraits you’ll treasure for years to come.
