This session held a little more weight than most. 🤍

For my first session back since surgery, I found myself photographing a season of life that now carries a whole different meaning for me.

But these two aren’t strangers to my camera. I’ve had the privilege of photographing them through different seasons of their story, and somewhere along the way, they became close friends too. So getting to document this chapter for them was incredibly special.

I’d be lying if I said there weren’t a lot of emotions behind the camera that night. This season of my own life has changed what motherhood, pregnancy, and all the “what could have been” moments feel like for me.

But standing there watching two people I love prepare for their little girl, I wasn’t overcome by sadness.

I was proud.

Proud that I picked my camera back up. Proud that I could celebrate their joy wholeheartedly while still carrying pieces of my own grief. And proud that after everything, I still get to do something I love so deeply — freeze the moments people will someday wish they could go back to.

Healing and grief can exist in the same place.

So can heartbreak and genuine happiness for someone you love.

And maybe that’s what made this session so beautiful.

Turns out, my heart was ready to tell stories again. 🤎

Okay… I have a little idea 👀🤍

I’ve been thinking about creating some Grace After Grit t-shirts — some with my photography logo, and others with the words and reminders that mean so much to this little corner of the world.

Think:
✨ faith
✨ resilience
✨ healing
✨ choosing to keep going
✨ finding grace after the grit

Before I start designing, I want to know…

Would you actually wear a Grace After Grit tee? 👕🤍

And if YES — what kind of designs or quotes would you want to see?

Drop a 🤍 if you’d wear one, and tell me what you’d want on it! 👇🏼

🍁 Fall - Seasonal Grace Minis 🍂

First Date: September 5th ‼️

Donation Based - payment info in booking link ❤️

07/31/2026

Hi friends! 🥰

Along with my rebrand, I’ve also simplified my pricing and what I’m offering.

✨ Story Sessions (Seniors) — $250 flat rate

✨ Elopements & Micro Weddings — Collections starting at $1,200

But there’s one offering that’s especially close to my heart…

🤍 Seasonal Grace Sessions

These are donation-based family, couples, and friends sessions offered as a gift and a ministry.

There will be a few dates during each season for these opportunities!

There isn’t a set price.

Instead, you simply give what you’re able and what you feel led to give.

My hope is that finances never become the reason someone doesn’t have memories with the people they love.

Whether you’re celebrating a new season, holding your family a little closer, or simply wanting to freeze this chapter before it changes, I’d be honored to tell your story.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me while I stepped away. Your kindness carried me more than you’ll ever know.

I’m officially accepting bookings beginning September 5th, and I truly cannot wait to create with you again.

With love,
xo, Katlyn

After months of healing, praying, grieving, growing, and rediscovering who I am, I’m finally ready to say…

I’m coming back. 🤍

On September 1st, I’ll officially be stepping behind the camera again.

This isn’t just the return of my photography business—it’s the beginning of something that feels deeply personal. Intentional is how I want to move now.

Throughout my life, things have changed me in ways I never expected. I’ve walked through heartbreak, abuse, loss, infertility, saying goodbye to seven babies I’ll one day meet in Heaven, and the unexpected grief of a hysterectomy that closed one chapter of my life forever. Along the way, I’ve also discovered healing, started therapy, leaned on my faith, and found grace in places I never imagined.

Those experiences didn’t end my story.

They shaped it.

They taught me that every person has a story worth remembering—not because it’s perfect, but because it’s real.

That’s why I’m so excited to introduce the heart behind my rebrand:

xo, Katlyn | Grace After Grit

Stories of Hope. Love. Faith. Restoration.

Photography has always been about more than beautiful pictures for me. It’s about preserving the moments that matter, celebrating the people you love, and reminding you that your story has value—exactly as it is.

Whether you’re celebrating a new beginning, a growing family, a wedding, a milestone, or simply this season of life, I’d be honored to tell your story.

Thank you for standing by me, praying for me, encouraging me, and loving me through every season. I truly wouldn’t be here without you.

Here’s to new beginnings, beautiful stories, and the grace that carries us through it all.

Bookings officially reopen September 1st.

I can’t wait to see you again.

With love,

Hey everyone 🤍

I wanted to give a quick update on Katlyn since she’s taking some time away from Facebook to focus on healing.

She’s officially two weeks post-op. Recovery has had its ups and downs, and this season has been both physically and emotionally heavy—but she’s pushing through and taking things one day at a time.

She wanted me to say thank you from the bottom of her heart for the meals, check-ins, prayers, and support. It has truly meant so much to her and her family.

The meal train is still such a blessing during this time if anyone feels led to help.

Thank you all for continuing to love on her 🤍

Hi everyone 🤍 As many of you know, I have surgery coming up for the hysterectomy, and I’ll be taking time to slow down and heal afterward. This season has already been heavy, and stepping into recovery, I know I’ll need to lean on the people around me more than usual. A meal train has been cr...

I’m still here and trying to smile ❤️ I’m not ready to come back to social media just yet / but we’ve had a lot ask how surgery went.

Despite all of the scar tissue / they thankfully got everything they needed to out.

After a 3 1/2 hour surgery - I am in quite a bit of pain but I’m trying to rest and keep medicine in me the best I can.

Huge thank you to the friends and family who have been here and checked on us repeatedly - things like this definitely can open your eyes up to who’s truly here for you and who’s not. It wasn’t just a hysterectomy. I lost what I thought our future would have in it.

Gracia June Whorley set up a meal train for us that also had ways to help with gift cards and all too ❤️

If you feel inclined to share or donate while I’m down.

Thank you again to those who have reached out! I’ll be back soon 🥰
