About Me

Hi! I’m Katie, the face behind Katie Murphy Photography. 👋
 

I’m 24 (Leo energy 🦁✨) and have been running my wee business for the past 4 1/2  years—which is absolutely wild to me!

​

I’ve always loved photos—though, if I’m honest, I used to prefer being in them rather than behind the camera (lol!). But that all changed over the years, and now I can’t imagine life any other way.

My earliest memory of taking photos was on a trip to Chester Zoo with my parents. My mum handed me a camera, and I was hooked, running around snapping every animal I could find. Later, I “leveled up” with my Nintendo DS (remember those?!) and took thousands of photos of, well, everything!

 

I studied photography for 3 years at the City of Glasgow College and graduated in 2021 with an HND in photography—one of my proudest achievements. From there, Katie Murphy Photography was born, and I’ve been capturing memories ever since. 

 

I have recently completed additional training with Fru Jones from Captured Magic, and wow, I’ve learned so much! I’m excited to showcase my enhanced skills as a newborn photographer. Along with newborn packages, I also offer family portrait sessions, cake smashes, seasonal mini sessions, and now weddings! I’ve teamed up with the amazing Lauren Shaw for weddings under our duo, Two Lenses, One Story!

 

Why I Love What I Do?❤

Honestly, photography doesn’t even feel like a job to me. I wake up excited, wondering who I’ll meet and what beautiful moments I’ll get to capture. It’s not just about the photos—it’s about creating memories for families that they’ll treasure forever. 💕

What I Do Outside the Studio?

When I’m not in the studio or working on sessions, you’ll probably find me in the gym! A year ago, I started focusing on keeping fit, which has been a game-changer—especially for all the bending, stretching, and soothing involved as a newborn photographer. If I am not in the gym I am probably walking my dog Charlie, he is my best friend! He loves cuddles and of course treats!
