Happy 2025!

I'm not great at keeping my social media updated and I am ENDLESSLY grateful to everyone I've taken photos of who shares their photos and credits me! Y'all are MVPs for that!

Last year I photographed 24 shows (in addition to 28 portrait sessions). 🥰 So, even though my social pages don't show it - I've been busy and I can't tell y'all how proud I am that I got to work with so many AMAZING performers, individuals, couples, and families in 2024.

I'm going to *try to post photos from shows and sessions from the past year. Hopefully I'll keep up with it with some level of consistency - but you'll probably see these posts randomly over the next month or two. Lol.

THIS post features just a few of my favorite photos from Love Stinks (Feb 2024) - a show by Groovy Tomb Productions at The Pinhook in Durham, NC.

Hey beautiful folx!!

I don't run mini sessions often but when this idea popped into my head I couldn't wait to make plans and announce an opportunity for y'all to come have fun with me creating spooky, beautiful photos!! 🖤🔥👻

Seance Season Mini Sessions will be held on Sunday, September 8, in Raleigh AND we'll have an incredibly talented makeup artist partnering with us!

Only 6 spots available right now! Message me to book your session. 😘

*First 3 photos are from past sessions to show the vibe/inspiration for this mini session series. Think dark, haunting/ghostly, beautiful. 🖤

*Last photo is NOT MINE but a screenshot to let y'all know that I'm also very open to including cute photos like that! I'll have props and a few fun clothing pieces you can add to your photos!

You may have already seen some of these photos posted by the gorgeous Olive Capri - but I'm so thrilled to share some shots from her session! I love working with performers and couldn't wait to work with Olive when she reached out - and if you've ever seen her perform you know why!

Book Olive Capri for your shows - Buy tickets to see her perform! The joy she exudes when she's performing is so contagious!

Thank you to Capitol Smoke for giving us the opportunity to take photos in your shop!

In case you missed the memo - I'm bad at keeping my page updated. Lol.

But I'm still out here creating STUNNING photos with even more stunning performers. Here's a few photos from "Love Stinks! A Variety Show of Lust, Betrayal, & Revenge" at The Pinhook a couple of weeks ago.

I love that I get to do this. Choosing between performing in shows versus photographing them is honestly so difficult sometimes. Lol.

Huge shout out to Boom-Boom Bathory and Groovy Tomb Productions for putting on another fantastic production!

If y'all are in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina (or literally anywhere!) and looking for amazing burlesque shows to support - you need to be in attendance for her productions! Always a hit!

Had the pleasure of seeing/photographing CRYSTAL SPIDERS in October 2023 at Bands and Babes! If you haven't heard their music - it's 100% worth checking them out! 🤘🔥

We will be hitting the road soon, see you out there! Katlyn Wright Photography

Venue: The Pour House Music Hall & Record Shop
Performers: Amethyst Galore, Boom-Boom Bathory, Mona Loverly, Nicollete Nightmare , Penny Rebel

Hi there!

In case you're wondering - I'm still here and still putting my camera to great use! I'm just not very good these days at updating my social media. But if you're interested in booking a session with me, message me!

My energy is much more focused on working with performers (burlesque, drag, pole, musicians, theatre, etc) who want to get creative with me for portraits and live shows. But if you don't fall into any of those categories, I'm still happy to hear your ideas and see if we may be a good match! ☺️

Here's some recent photos I captured while working with my friend, Megan - they bring the spooky/fantasy vibes I'm dying for right now!! I've worked with Megan several times now and honestly I'm more and more pleased with what we create together each time!

Happy October, everyone!

I attended outRAGEous Burlesque (camera in tow) back in March 2023 and took photos while enjoying this show.

outRAGEous Burlesque was the debut production of ALVARA and GiGi and they put together this burlesque and variety show to raise awareness for and benefit the Carolina Abortion Fund.

The show was not only meaningful - but every single act was powerful! To say that I'm thrilled to work with this amazing community of bad-ass people is a HUGE understatement.

This album showcases a few photos of each amazing performer from the event. 💖

Venue: The Pinhook
