of life

Hey! I'm Katie. My favorite roles in life are being a mama and wife. My husband and I have created a peaceful little life together and being married to him is the easiest. We welcomed our sweet baby girl, Melo, in May 2023 and she is our entire world. I am a lover of simple things ~ like how it feels when you make a house a home, flowers from Trader Joes in a thrifted vase on the kitchen table, slow mornings with my daughter, long walks and fresh air, getting sucked into an amazing book after a year of not reading, heavy cream frothed to perfection in my morning coffee, taking too many polaroids, spontaneous trips to the farmers market, watching sunsets with my family, the way I feel after a hot yoga class, and avocado toast from Revolution Roasters. I am so enriched by this era of life that revolves around motherhood, and the significance of documenting it all is never lost on me. It all goes so fast, and while I can't hang on to every moment, I can do my best to create picture book worth memories so that we'll always remember what it felt like. You know? I think you do. ;)

"She is trustworthy, hilarious, talented, patient, and just a wonderful person inside and out. That's the kind of photographer Katie is and we would book her again in a heartbeat."

the evolution of it all

Welcomed our daughter, and fell in love with maternity and family work
