This is Me.

Photographer. Mother. Wife. Lover of all things vintage.

I am a wife and mother to two beautiful little girls, Adaline and Thea. Adaline is dramatic and hilarious and every bit of sugar and spice. Thea is a sweet and cuddly funny little baby who has the sweetest giggle. Adaline is the reason I first pursued photography, and seeing her play with Thea, capturing them together is just a small part of why I keep doing it. I love looking back at the photos of them laughing, and running and playing and even crying. They help me to remember all the wonderful bits and pieces of their beautiful little selves. And that is what I want to capture for you too. All the things that people will remember you and your family for. The smiles. The way you held each other close. All the hard work you put into your wedding day. The giggles of your children. Show me your YOU!

“I struggled when I decided to do a photo shoot for my 50th birthday. I cried for three days before we did it and I can’t tell you enough how happy I am with Katie and her magical eye! She made me comfortable and brought my confidence back in the first minutes of the shoot. She did everything from choosing the perfect location, providing beautiful props, and she even loaned me a beautiful outfit so I could do two different looks. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“"We're new to FL and were looking to get beach photos done for the first time. I came across Katie's page and saw I had missed the holiday mini session. I messaged her anyways for a family session and she responded quickly and gave me options. Then on top of that, she showed up at the session with the props from the holiday session! Our photos turned out gorgeous!!! I love the variety of scenery we got in just one session! I couldn't have been more pleased with our first beach photos!!!"”
