SCROLL TO BEGIN
"My experience with Katie was better than I could have ever asked for."
Motherhood deserves to be remembered in a way that feels natural and true — with portraits that reflect who you really are. It’s rare to find a moment where you can pause and simply take in your family. That’s what my sessions are meant to create — a chance to slow down, be present, and let someone else handle the details.
From wardrobe styling and professional hair & makeup to helping you choose the images you love most, I’ll guide you through every step so the process feels effortless.
Together, we’ll turn those fleeting moments into timeless frames and albums that tell your story and fill your home with artwork that feels warm, personal, and completely you.

It’s simple, effortless, and designed so you can be fully present for the moments that matter.
Your wardrobe is taken care of, hair and makeup are arranged, and after your session, I’ll help you choose your favorite images and turn them into heirloom artwork for your home.
All that’s left for you to do is show up and love on your babies.
The Truth About
The Days Are Already Becoming Memories
Motherhood is full of contradictions.
It’s loving this season and wishing it would slow down all at once.
It’s laughing at the chaos and tearing up at the quiet moments.
It’s realizing these are the days you’ll ache to go back to.
You’re living through the longest days and the fastest years all at once.
Wouldn’t it be beautiful to hold onto a little piece of this?
"I didn’t have to worry about a thing — Katie handled it all and somehow made it fun."
