“I understood how all the flowers He has created are beautiful. The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not take away the perfume of the little violet or the delightful simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all the flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty, and the fields would no longer be decked out with the little wild flowers.”

Hey there! Nice to meet you!

I'm Katie, a wife and a mother to four kiddos. When I'm not working on photography, I'm with my kids as a stay at home mom. We like to take family walks, tend our veggie garden, do things with our church, host family and friends, and try desperately to get my house organized (it's a losing battle at this stage with such little kids). I just recently began making our own bread using ancient grains, I’ve tried making fermented foods (but have yet to be sucessful), and am eager to keep finding new ways to bring simple goodness into our home. In my pre-baby life I was a singer and an amateur swing dancer.

The more life I live, the more I crave authenticity. Photography is about finding the beauty and joy already present. It's celebrating the sacredness of all the small moments that make life meaningful.

I’ve become passionate about wanting to capture the beauty in all the small, real moments of life. Whether the occasion is a wedding, a newborn lifestyle, family session, or a sacramental event, my favorite thing to do is find the moments in-between. A family photo where little kids are showcasing their personality, a new sibling who spontaneously kisses their new baby sister, or a private glance between husband and wife during their wedding mass…. these are my favorite things to capture because it’s real. It’s simply being in the moment. Its imperfectly perfect.

It can sometimes be difficult to see the blessings in our own lives, but I see it in yours! And I do my best to show you that in your final gallery of images!

Kind words….

  • My family and I LOVE the photos!!! They couldn't be more perfect! Seriously, there aren't enough exclamation marks to express our excitement and joy. We love your artistic eye and honestly felt like we could have favorited all of them! You blew us away, both to work with and your work. My sister said it perfectly when she said she wished we could work with you all over again now. Thanksgiving, Christmas, all the time, lol! Seriously, we're so happy to find you to work with and we can't wait to do it again. So many thanks!!!
