About
Hello! I'm Katie. I am an award-winning photographer based in Washington, Missouri specializing family, newborn, maternity, engagement, senior, and wedding photography.
I am an adventurer at heart. My vibe is earthy, natural, free-spirited and genuine. I prefer natural lighting and outdoor shoots, as I incorporate the wild beauty of nature into my photography.
My favorite part of photography is meeting and working with clients, and the new friendships that I've made.
It is my goal to capture each individual's unique personality through fun, relaxed sessions. I am inspired by people and nature, and combining them in a beautiful, meaningful way is my passion. I love capturing special moments to be cherished forever.
When you hire me as your photographer, you're not just getting photos taken - you're getting an experience. I would love to tell your story.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Providing a truly unique, memorable experience for my clients is my ultimate goal, and I strive to create this through fun and relaxed sessions. I shoot on-location, using natural light and incorporating nature into my portraiture to bring together people and nature in a meaningful way. By scouting out beautiful locations for my clients, I work to ensure that your photos will reflect your unique personality and style.
I usually bring my assistant (my daughter Avery!) with me to shoots. She provides invaluable assistance in various ways, whether it's assisting with posing and lighting, keeping little one's attention with toys or bubbles, or helping me pack my gear. Avery is currently learning the photography trade as an apprentice and she has already assisted me as a second shooter for a wedding in July.
I prefer to shoot in late afternoon/early evening, to take advantage of that beautiful time known as golden hour. This time of day provides a soft, beautiful ambient light and lends a lovely warm glow to portraits. Along with posed photos, I love capturing the natural, candid moments between loved ones. These are always a nice addition to a photo gallery, and sometimes the client's most loved photos from a session.
