ABOUT Me
Behind the Lens
I'm a hopeless romantic who finds great joy in creating and capturing connection and beauty wherever I go.
about Me
I'm Katie
As an artist and mother, I’m deeply grateful to work with incredible clients who inspire me daily and allow me to pour my heart into my craft. Honesty, gratitude, and authenticity are the foundation of everything I do. For over a decade, I’ve captured life’s most meaningful moments—from sweet kisses and tender cuddles to unforgettable dance parties and the pure joy of little ones—belly laughs, tickle fights, and all. Being surrounded by so much love is truly an honor.
My passion for storytelling and creating images that evoke genuine emotion is deeply influenced by my journey as a mother to my amazing 7-year-old daughter, Paityn. From the fleeting moment she was first placed on my chest to watching her grow into an enthusiastic athlete and gymnast, I understand how quickly time passes and how precious each chapter is. This personal insight drives me to document your family's unique story with thoughtfully crafted, timeless imagery.
I recognize that planning a photography session can feel overwhelming, from choosing the perfect location to deciding on outfits. With my background in cinematography and years of experience, I guide you through each step, providing detailed styling guides and personalized consultations to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience. Whether it’s capturing the magic of your wedding day or the everyday moments that define your family, I’m here to make the process effortless and the results unforgettable.
When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me playing parachute with my daughter on the bed, cheering her on at gymnastics, or sharing a laugh over a glass of wine with friends. These small, everyday joys inspire me to capture the same authentic love and connection for my clients.My greatest inspirations are my amazing husband, Kyle, and our daughter, Paityn—they make me who I am.
Let’s create something beautiful together—because your story is the heart of my work
"I believe photography is more than just pictures—it’s about telling a story, freezing moments in time, and preserving memories for generations to come. Whether it’s the chaos of family life, the quiet tenderness of a newborn, or the energy of a wedding day, I strive to create images that are timeless, emotive, and uniquely yours."
my favorite things:
01
My Family
My family is my heart. My husband, Kyle, and our daughter, Paityn, remind me how precious it is to capture those fleeting moments for others—whether playing parachute or cheering Pea on at gymnastics.
02
guilty pleasure
Rewatching 'This Is Us' (tissues required) and indulging in baked chocolate goods—I’m obsessed with my friend Kristyn’s baking. Her brownies? Absolutely life-changing.
03
pastTime
Spending quiet moments at my parents’ place, getting my feet wet in the sand, and soaking up time with family. I also love the idea of gardening… even if I can’t seem to keep anything alive!
04
Current obsession
Buying too many fuzzy blankets. I have an unapologetic obsession with fuzzy blankets, Disney movies, and snuggling with Pea—because these cozy moments mean everything to me.
05
Lover of Light
Light guides everything I do—it’s the soul of my creativity and the essence of what I capture. From unforgettable sunsets reflecting on glassy water to the way it softly hugs a subject, light reveals the magic in every moment. It energizes us, pours through the trees, and inspires me to reflect life’s beauty through my lens.
06
part of my job
That moment when a family bursts into laughter, a parent’s hug says everything, or a child’s joy lights up the frame. It’s in these fleeting, honest moments where forever memories are made.
about you
My clients are families who cherish connection, adventure, and the little moments that make life beautiful.
They value storytelling, authenticity, and timeless heirlooms—the kind of memories that fill their homes with gallery walls, cozy albums on the coffee table, and framed prints that make them smile every day. Whether it’s barefoot walks along the shore, snuggles on a cozy afternoon, or laughter that echoes through the trees, they know that life’s fleeting moments deserve to be preserved beautifully.
Does this sound like you? Let’s create something beautiful together.
