Some clients arrive with mood boards, Pinterest links, outfit ideas, and a clear vision.

Love it. Bring me the inspiration and we’ll build on what you love, talk through what will photograph well, and turn those ideas into portraits that feel personal instead of copied.

Other clients arrive with a busy schedule, a couple loose ideas, and the hope that someone else can please just make this easy.

Also love it. You do not have to know the perfect location, the best outfits, what to do with your hands, or how the final images should come together. I’ve got you.

Whether you’re the Creative Director or the Confident Delegator, your session will still be thoughtfully planned, gently guided, and created with intention.

Picture this: The kids dipping their toes into the creek, looking for crawfish and sailing paper boats. The whole family is just laughing and having fun because this mini session is about simple summer memories outdoors. If it's dark enough, we might even see a lighting bug or two.

I have a spot in mind, less than a mile from the studio.

Before I go all in, I'm gauging interest. Who would love to participate?

📸 This idea reminded me of this session I did with my oldest back in 2011.

Hey y'all, it’s been a minute.

May has been… absolutely bananas.

Somehow we’ve been in a drought, but almost every session on my calendar has still been rescheduled because of rain. Make that make sense.

And then, just to keep things interesting, I had a surprise appendectomy right before this month's Mini Session Week.

So if I’ve been quieter than usual over here, that’s why. I’ve been resting, rescheduling, catching up, and trying to get everything back in order.

The good news? Since May was such a mess, we’re making June extra fun.

For June, I’m opening TWO weeks of Mini Sessions instead of one!

That will include:
Red, White, and Blue Minis
Golden Hour Meadow Minis
Plus headshots, birthdays, etc....

More details are coming soon, but I wanted to pop in and say:
I’m still here.
I’m healing.
I’m catching up.
And June is going to be a good one.

Stay tuned for dates and booking info!

Simply You | A Skincare + Portrait Experience is coming up this month on May 16th.

Starting with facials and ending with portraits, this is a perfect mother/daughter or grandma/mother/daughter experience. Featuring no or minimal makeup looks, this is all about loving the skin we're in.

I got some happy news today- this sweet girl got ADOPTED!

I photographed her for her adoption page a couple months ago, and it makes me so happy to know she found her people.

This is one of the photos I can share from this past weekend.

Not because it’s the most important moment of the day… but because it doesn’t give anything away.

A lot of what I photograph never makes it to social media. Usually, it’s families who keep their images offline (and their privacy always comes first). But sometimes it’s brands who need their images shared on their own terms.

So I grab a quick detail shot for myself while the real story is happening… right there in the frame, just beyond the focus. It’s not about keeping secrets. It’s about knowing what’s mine to share and what isn’t.

These invite-only brand parties and events? They’re exactly the kind of moments I’m trusted to capture.

If you’re planning something where not everything needs to be shared but everything still needs to be documented well… I’m your person.

✨ The magic is almost gone… ✨

Registration for the 8th Annual Unicorn Portrait Experience closes on April 25th — and once it’s closed, that’s it for this year.

If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your moment.
These sessions are simple, relaxed, and honestly… they turn into something really special without trying too hard.

A few things to know:

One day only (May 2nd)
Limited spots (and they’re almost gone)
Dresses available if you want them
Sweet, calm unicorn (with a handler nearby for safety, always edited out)

This is one of those things kids talk about long after it’s over… and parents end up loving just as much.

👉 Grab your spot before April 25th: https://katiesmithphotography.com/unicorn-portrait-experience/

If updated photos have been on your “we should do that” list… this is your sign.

I donated a portrait session + 11x14 printed portrait to the Mebane Dogwood Festival Auction, and bidding is officially open.

This is a full portrait experience—not a rushed mini. I’ll guide you through everything so it feels easy (even if you normally dread photos).

You can use it for:
• Family photos
• Your kids
• Your pets

It also includes a professionally retouched 11x14 printed portrait—something you can frame and enjoy in your home.

And every bid supports local veterans right here in Mebane.

👉 Go bid on Item #118: https://new.biddingowl.com/2026MebaneDogwoodAuction
