Intimate Storytelling & Documentary Photography
You should feel seen, you should feel known.
I want to perfectly encapsulate all that you are so that you always have these memories preserved to look back on over and over and over again, for years to come.
You Deserve To Hold
These Moments Close.
You know that feeling, when you wish you could bottle up a moment as it's happening, so you can open it up later and experience it all over again?
I want to be the one to capture that for you. Not just the posed portraits, but the real stuff. The in-betweens.
The stolen kisses, the subtle glances, the soft touch of your hands, the light creating shadows on your faces, all of the tears (of love, of joy, from laughing so hard you can't help but cry), and all the imperfect messy bits that come along with being beautifully human.
moody & sentimental,
romantic & sincere
Truly So Glad You're Here,
I'm Katie
Your Midwest wedding & portrait photographer,
your storyteller, your fly-on-the-wall
So you're looking for something a little different. Someone who can make your wedding day feel less like a photoshoot and more like what your day is actually about - celebrating the love that you found with all the people who adore and cherish you. Someone who can capture your pregnancy, your family, or your love together in a way that doesn't feel forced or overly posed. Someone who you can be truly yourself with, so
when you look at your photos you think,
"wow, there we are, it's us, do you feel that?"
That's the experience I want to give to you. To me, photography is about capturing the real and authentic moments, the sometimes messy yet always perfectly "you" moments.
In any session, for any reason, I want to tell your story - your love for each other, for your children, or for your business. Whatever it may be, your story is worth documenting. You deserve images that make you feel alive & that you can pass down and share to say
"we've loved and we've laughed and we've cried, here we are, look at how beautiful we Are."
