Guided lifestyle photography to capture the essence of your family and the beauty of their beginnings

This moment right now? It’s golden. Yes, even when you’re bone tired and wearing yesterday’s sweats.

Your family is becoming. Years from now, when the lovey they carried everywhere has been packed away and the gap in their smile has been filled, your images will be there to grab your heart and take you right back.

It seems like I closed my eyes for a second and my scrunchy tiny newborn became a 10-year-old with opinions (so many opinions). That’s why I pour my time and energy into helping families like yours capture RIGHT NOW in a relaxed, authentic way.

You can count on me to understand your priorities, listen to your wants, and create a session focused on documenting all the emotion, love, and joy in your family. And it’ll be a whole heck of a lot of fun to boot, I promise.

But I also know how fast it flies.

I’ve got three kids of my own. My family calendar looks like a (semi-organized) disaster. I know how hectic life gets with littles.

How about we make this easy, yeah?

Here’s What Makes Lifestyle Photos with Me Easy

Brigitte

When I shared her photos I had so many people reach out to tell me how beautiful they were. One person said that they were the only family photos they had seen that showcased the unique "essence" of our family, and I completely agree. I would recommend her to anyone. She was great with our kids and even the dog cooperated.”

“Kate did an AMAZING job of capturing our family's beautiful chaos.

Danielle

She took 36 week maternity photos for our family and they are absolutely perfect in every way. Our 2.5 year old daughter, husband and myself felt instantly comfortable with Kate and she made the whole process fun and relaxed. Our daughter LOVED her and stayed engaged the entire shoot. We can’t say enough great things about Kate. She is a pure joy to work with and her love for photography is evident in the beautiful work she does.”

“Kate is an amazingly talented photographer!

Kelly

Thank you for coming to our home to capture our family (in our wild wacky state). We are so grateful and appreciative of your time and talent. It’s not easy making two very tired adults feel comfortable while entertaining our overly energetic 4 year old all with you artistic hat on looking for those special moments.”

“You are really a marvel.

That’s why I take care to offer a curated selection of high-quality prints and tangible art alongside your digital images.

You can hold them in your hands and know: This is what love feels like.

Don’t get me wrong, you’re definitely gonna want to share them (and I love when you do!). But your photos are so much more than that. They’re for your home, your kids, you. They bottle up all the love you hold for your family. That’s an incredible gift to have on the good days. But can I tell you something? The true impact of these images is felt the most on the hard days. When the kids are melting down and the house is a wreck and you just want to hide in a closet. Your photos help you remember your why.
