Welcome to the home of Umoya Photography, and thank you for visiting.
My name is Kelly, and I am a Horsham Photographer, working on location anywhere within Sussex, Surrey and beyond, capturing genuine smiles and emotion outdoors on location or in-home, resulting in photographs that are unique and personal.
From the African language Xhosa, Umoya is translated as “Spirit”. I chose the name since some African cultures believe that the spirit is literally captured by a photo… By adopting a lifestyle approach to photographing weddings, families and events, this is what I strive to achieve in capturing the spirit of the moments between the moments… resulting in natural candid images.
My particular style lends itself well to covering many genres of photography – I am a Horsham photographer covering Family Photography, Newborn Photography, and Weddings & Events.
Covering Horsham, Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and beyond, I photograph both indoors and outdoors on location with an unobtrusive lifestyle approach, to naturally capture genuine emotions and candid moments.
Who am I, other than a Horsham Photographer?
I also happen to be a work-from-home mom to two young boys and a furbaby…
Wife to the most supportive husband I could ever hope for…
And all-round juggler, balancing my time between family, home life, and my creative outlet.
I love 80’s nights, writing lists (even if they’re never fully completed), camping, board games, and wine.
Wedding Photography captures genuine intimate moments, documenting the day and details to reminisce over later.
Events are shot in a photojournalistic style, in order to naturally capture the day or evening as it happens, presenting you with true irreplaceable memories.
Family sessions bring out individual characters, showcasing the special bond a family shares, resulting in fun NATURAL photos that you would be proud to display.
I believe that a portrait should capture the essence of you and what makes you special. My family photography sessions aim to create a carefree, fun experience that will bring out the best in you and your family. The result is memories that are unique and personal which you would be proud to display in your home.
Newborn sessions are shot in the comfort of your home – capturing the tiny details before they are gone, and the true essence of those first few weeks.

Every year on 14th February, flower specialists, card shops, and restaurants make millions. Why? Well, a gorgeous bunch of blooms, loved-up sentiments, and a romantic dinner (whilst nothing to be scoffed at) have almost become… expected. It’s awesome to feel wanted
Below are some kind words from some of my previous clients and families. For me it is all about the memories and capturing the moment, which is at the heart of the Umoya experience.
