Happy first official day of spooky season! 🍂👻🕷️

I got to enjoy it a little bit early last week out in Colorado, and omg, the aspens were showing off! I am already figuring out a way we can keep going back multiple times a year! I always knew I was an ocean girlie, but the mountains stole my heart last week too.

While I was away soaking up all that golden inspiration, it got me thinking a lot about what’s next. There are a lot of really exciting changes coming up for this little biz of mine, and I can’t wait to share them all with you as soon as everything is ready! Let’s just say behind the scenes, a *completely* new era is quietly coming to life.✨🤫

But for now, it’s one final push for the tail end of busy season. I am always looking at ways to improve your experience—whether that’s through the packages I offer, a seamless booking process, or just the overall magic of your session. I’m officially starting to work on creating an even more beautiful, elevated space for you, and everything will be completely fine-tuned over the colder months.

I seriously cannot wait to welcome you into this next chapter! But until then, I’ll be working my little b***y off capturing all of your gorgeous fall memories! 📸

xoxo, K.

It’s officially senior season!

Over the next few months I’ll be photographing seniors all over the Fox Valley and beyond, and I couldn’t be more excited to get them in front of my camera!!

If you’re looking for natural photos, guidance throughout the entire process, and a session that feels more like hanging out than a photoshoot, I have only a few spots left for this summer!

Class of 2027, let’s make it happen!

Happy wedding day Anna + Jake!! 💙

These blue hour moments are exactly why I will always say it’s worth staying a little longer for photos or shifting your session later. It’s the soft light, the pretty skies that show off 🌙, and the way everything feels a little more carefree once you’ve had time to settle in and just enjoy being together!

I’m a little late to the trend, but what’s new 😅

This felt like the perfect way to say thank you. Whether you’ve followed along for years, liked a post, shared my name with a friend, booked a session, or trusted me to document one of life’s biggest milestones, thank you!

Every bit of support means more than I could ever put into words. This little business exists because of people like you, and I don’t take that for granted for a second.

Little Katie had some pretty big dreams, and I don’t think she would believe all the incredible people she’s met, the stories she’s been trusted to document, and the life she’s been able to build through this business! She would be absolutely beside herself knowing she gets to spend her days celebrating your biggest milestones, documenting your stories, meeting the most amazing people, and calling it a job!

So truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here and for making all of this possible. It means more than you’ll ever know! 🩷

Class of 2026 🤍 Cap & gown season is HERE 🥹

One minute graduation feels so far away, and then suddenly you’re in it.

This is one of those times you don’t get back. It deserves more than a quick phone pic or a rushed cap toss. The feeling of graduation and the excitement of what’s ahead is something you’ll carry with you for the rest of your life! Your parents are going to hold onto these forever, and years from now these are the photos that’ll take you right back to this exact season and how it felt.

Come solo, bring your best friend, or make it a whole group thing… I’m down for whatever fits your vibe! We’ll keep it easy, fun, and have an absolute blast documenting this huge accomplishment!

Spots are already starting to fill up, so if you’ve been thinking about it, this is your sign to book your cap & gown session 🫶

Hi, I’m Katie 🩷 It’s been a hottttt minute since I’ve shown my face on here!

Some things to know about me:

I’m always chasing the real stuff. The belly laughs, the quiet little looks, the chaos, the calm, and the moments you don’t realize you’ll miss until later!

I will hype you up, fix your hair, keep things moving, and gently guide you the whole time so it feels easy and natural.

I’m really big on connection, not perfection! I want you to walk away saying, “that felt like us.”

Tell me what season you’re in right now! New baby, engaged, senior year, growing family, starting a business, or just because? 🫶🏼

I’d love to photograph you, inquire at the link in my bio!
