about me
I'm katie
As a mom myself, I know how easy it is to stay behind the camera. There have been seasons where I didn’t feel my best, and I almost let that keep me from being in the photo. But I don’t want my kids to look back and wonder where I was in their story.
I believe our children deserve to see us in the photos—holding them close, showing them love, and being fully part of their memories. That’s why I do what I do. I want to give you the gift of being present in your family’s story, so years from now your little ones can see just how deeply they were loved.

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.
