Meet Katie

A versatile photographer passionate about capturing love in weddings, exploring the world through travel, and crafting timeless portraits in sessions. With a keen eye for storytelling, she brings a unique blend of creativity to every project, whether amidst the beauty of diverse landscapes or in the controlled ambiance of a studio. Join her on a visual journey where these sessions weave together into captivating narratives.

I’m the perfect combination of sassy and sweet. I have 8 children, a beautiful wife named Sara, and a love for portrait photography. I will keep you laughing at our sessions.

A bit more about Katie: I started taking photos when I was old enough to operate a Polaroid camera. I learned at a young age to "shake it like a Polaroid pitcha". I asked for new cameras for at least half of my Christmases growing up. I’ve always loved to take photos and see what I can do with them. I was the cringey kid on Myspace and Facebook with the overly edited photos from Picnik. Thankfully, I’ve grown out of that phase!

Some extra intel on Mandy: Photography has been a passion of mine since I started creating humans. My biggest joy is helping my client feel relaxed and capturing those candid genuine smiles and emotions. Creative shoots are my passion, along with Boudoir and Weddings. I have learned so much in the past year and cannot wait to learn more and see our business flourish.

I'm the planner. My specialty is close-up details and motion shots. I cannot help but to audibly gasp and say "ugh cuteeeee" when I see magic happening during a session. I love showing the world our work.

- Katie
