Authentic Wedding & Portrait Photography
for those who believe every chapter of life deserves to be remembered beautifully.
Hi, I’m Katie! the face behind the camera, the girl who will 100% laugh with you mid-session, fix your hair before a shot, and cry happy tears during your first look. I’m all about creating timeless, joy-filled photos that actually feel like you — natural, genuine, and full of emotion.
When I’m not capturing love stories or senior milestones, you can find me in our old farmhouse with my husband Reid, chasing our Goldens around, or sipping coffee while editing away. I’m so glad you’re here — I can’t wait to tell your story in a way that feels honest, beautiful, and completely yours.
