Behind the Lens
about me
I'm katie
Motherhood moves fast — and I’ve learned how much I love slowing it down. My sessions are designed to be a pause in the rush of everyday life, a chance to simply be with your family while I gently guide and document these fleeting moments.
I believe our children deserve to see us in the photos — not just smiling for the camera, but together, held close, and fully present. Creating these portraits is my way of giving you a tangible reminder of how deeply you loved and were loved in this season.

about you
Our clients are mamas who want to slow down — to be seen in the photos, celebrated in the artwork, and fully present in the memories that last forever.
If that sounds like what you’ve been searching for, you’re in the right place.
My goal is to have every mom feel
confident and seen
I want every mom who steps in front of my camera to feel confident and proud of being in the photos.
Not like she should have hidden, not wondering if she was “enough.”
That’s why I’ve created an experience that takes the pressure off—offering a curated wardrobe so outfits are easy, and the option to add professional hair and makeup if you’d like an extra boost of confidence.
You’re already beautiful as you are, but I know how much lighter it feels when someone else handles the details—especially when you’re running on little sleep or wrangling little ones.
All you need to do is show up. I’ll take care of the rest.
