Being photographed can be a vulnerable experience.
That can be scary sometimes— I get it.

You want someone who will protect your experience, honor who you are at your core, and deep-belly laugh with you.

You’re looking for a versatile, affirming, and experienced artist who will photograph your significant milestones with compassion and enthusiasm.

Celebrate Your Right Now

I strongly believe life is precious and worth celebrating at every stage. With a healthy mix of candids and posed photographs, I document everything from the traditional portrait or party to the non-traditional life events that people don’t always think to have photographed.

Caroline (proposee + bride)

“These photos so clearly capture the radiance, movement, and joy of our wedding celebration.”

“I love so many of the posed portraits from our engagement & wedding photos, but some of my absolute favorites are the candid or semi-candid moments.”

Jenny + Sam (people in love)

“I could feel our emotions, those silly moments... it felt like magic—she captured it all.”

“We loved working with Katie so much that she’s now our go-to photographer for life’s biggest (and smallest) moments.”

Ben G (long time client + friend)

“I would highly recommend Katie for anyone, whether you need serious/professional photos, or something light hearted and fun. She can do it all!”

“When you talk about someone “having the eye for photography”, that’s Katie.”

Get to know me better

Equipped with an INFP personality type, I am no stranger to going deeper than the surface when getting to know people. I’m that girl who loves heart-to-heart conversations, but is also 100% down for a good & goofy dance party. 

I’m a lover of the little things, a dreamer of the big things, and when I’m behind the camera, I see all those things at once.

I want in

With a background in both visual and performing arts, I serve all of my couples and clients by embracing natural movement and emotion to reflect what makes you, you. Formally trained to be meticulous, I personally curate and develop each photo to stand beautifully on its own while contributing to the collective. 

I capture the ephemeral and render it eternal so your photos can serve as a time capsule of this truly important chapter of your life. I want you to look back on your photos in 10, 20, or even 50 years and remember exactly how you felt in that moment.

Cookie-cutter style ain’t my thing — and it shouldn’t be yours either.

My services are designed to ensure you get a custom experience from start to finish.

I’d love to make it happen for you.
