Hello!
I’m Katie, wife to my high school sweetheart, Ryan, and mom to two wild and wonderful boys, Teddy and Sam. I discovered a passion for photography in college, earning my bachelor’s degree in photojournalism. I spent six years shooting for local newspapers and working as a wedding photographer and have always loved the opportunity to connect with others and create portraits of who they are.
While I’ve loved and studied photography for nearly a decade, becoming a wife and mom has given me a new appreciation for what a photograph is. I love going through old photos of my family, watching us grow and change. There’s so much wrapped up in each picture - a reminder of both the hard things, and more importantly, the blessings that came from each season.
As your photographer, I’m honored to be able to show you the beauty in the season that God has put you in. You may be just starting your journey as a parent soaking in newborn snuggles and wondering how in the world you can sneak in a nap or joking with your high-schooler and wondering how college is only a months years away. Or maybe your heart feels like it could burst because you have four beautiful grand-babies (and a few more on the way!) and seeing your kids become parents has been even more wonderful than you could have imagined.
In every season there is beauty. Often it’s in the simple, everyday moments, but when it’s paused you can truly see the expressions, the light, the colors-that’s the beauty in every day.
When I photograph your family, I want to give you a chance to pause and be thankful, to see something in a different light, and to love the little details just a bit more. For me, I love seeing my boys’ untamable hair, my toddler’s chipped tooth, and the way we play together. Your family has all these sweet details, too, and I’d love to help you remember them.
