Hey there, Katie here!
Hey guys, I’m Katie! Based in Atlanta, 36 years young, a homebody at heart, and a huge fan of Mexican food. I could eat it for every meal of my day (and sometimes I do). If I could live both on the beach and in the mountains, I would. Things that make me the most happy are dance parties, my husband (handsome fella to the left), our new baby (who is the absolute best), road trips, coffeeshops, and pretending to star in my own secret sitcom.
I majored in Musical Theatre (my first love and secondary profession) so, I often see my life through song and dance. I believe every person is creative and created to come alive and awake to their passions/gifts. I’m a big cheerleader of chasing dreams because I’ve seen they are possible to catch. I have a weakness for chocolate and a deep love for Jesus. I am a huge fan of Fall, daydreams and dad jokes.
I owned my first camera when I was 7. I would line up my dolls across my bed and capture their vibrant personalities (or super still, stuffed bodies). Back then, I had no idea I would be doing this full-time as my primary profession. I captured my first wedding 10 years ago and never stopped. Since then, I’ve learned that having someone follow you around with a camera is vulnerable and a little unnatural for most of us, unless you’re a model (which you might be!). My hope is to become less of a stranger and more of a friend.
I do not take this job lightly- it’s an incredible honor to capture families and couples who entrust me with their most important moments and milestones! I am seriously humbled to my core to be invited into these sacred spaces and cannot wait to create with you.
Photo Philosophy:
I love the art of storytelling and see photography as that. My job is way more than placing you in a perfectly posed position and asking you to smile - In fact, it’s so much more! As an enneagram 4 (to all who feel me), authenticity is one of my highest values. My priority is capturing the real, raw moments that are already happening- naturally. Come as you are, be yourself, we’re in this together! I’ll be your biggest fan along the way to encourage fun, connection and a celebratory experience that you’ll walk away from, with images to remember it by.
