Grit & Grace Photography + Design I Katie Hinds

Grit & Grace Photography + Design I Katie Hinds My name is Katie Hinds, I am a mom or 2 boys and 3 fur babies puppies. I have a strong passion for photography, Art and anything to do with being creative.

Relaxed, Personality focused photographer for families, I believe that the best photos happen when you forget about the camera and focus on real connection, tell the story and capture the moments. I attended IVVC in graphic Design while in High School. I attend as many craft & vendor shows as I love supporting local vendors and their inspiration in being creative.

📚 Before They Pack Up… Take the Picture. ❤️

As summer starts winding down, so does the time before many of our kids head off to college for a new adventure.

Between dorm shopping, packing, orientation, and the excitement of a new chapter, family photos are often the last thing on the list.

But here’s the truth…

The next time everyone is together might not be until Thanksgiving, Christmas, or even longer.

Take an hour. Laugh together. Capture this season before life changes again.

Whether your child is heading off for their freshman year or returning to campus, these are the moments you’ll be thankful you didn’t miss.

🍂 Now booking:
📸 Family Sessions
🎓 College Send-Off Sessions
❤️ Parent & Graduate Portraits

Message me to reserve your session before everyone heads back to school!

✨🏰💜 Some stories are worth waiting for. 💜🏰✨

After years of hope, faith, and patience, Caitlyn and Kyle are preparing to welcome their little princess, Baby Carr.

This session was about more than a baby bump. It was about the family already waiting to love her. Bailey proudly joined in as future big sister, while Grandma and Great Grandma helped create a beautiful four-generation memory before Baby Carr’s arrival.

Surrounded by Disney magic, family, and so much love, this sweet girl is already cherished beyond measure.

Baby Carr, your greatest adventure is about to begin. 💜✨

One thing I’ve really loved lately is getting to tag along behind the scenes and capture moments most people never get to see.

The long hours, the attention to detail, the chaos before events, the passion poured into their work… those are my favorite kinds of photos.

Being around my husband as The Traveling Chef has honestly inspired me creatively in so many ways and reminded me why storytelling through photography matters so much ❤️

Here’s a little behind the scenes look lately with The Traveling Chef
