• The Heart Behind the Lens

    Section image

    Hey! I’m Katie—photographer, dog mom, nature lover, and your go-to hype woman behind the camera.

    I’m based in beautiful Upstate New York, but my photography journey began in New Jersey & Connecticut, and I still travel throughout the East Coast capturing stories of love, life, and everything in between.

    Creativity has always been at the core of who I am. I’m a mental health advocate with a deep appreciation for human connection, which is why I love working with diverse clients and celebrating what makes each person unique. Every session I shoot is one-of-a-kind —because your style and what makes you you is one-of-a-kind. And that’s exactly what I love most!

    When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me hanging with my four rescue pups (my absolute world), starting a new home project, getting crafty, or exploring the outdoors (with my camera of course!). I’m what you'd call an extroverted introvert, and I bring that same easygoing, open, positive energy to every session.

    As a photographer, I’m all about creating an experience that feels genuinely fun, relaxed, and so authentically you. I’ll guide you through every step, make you laugh, hype you up, and help you feel totally at ease—even if you’re camera shy or convinced you're “awkward” in photos (I promise you won't be able to tell!). Many of my favorite clients swore they “don’t photograph well”, but the finished results say otherwise.

    Wondering about my photography style? I would describe it as natural, colorful, bright, artistic, and full of genuine emotion. I’ll help you find your best angles, your real smile, and the in-between moments that matter most.

    Now enough about me—I’d love to hear more about you. Let’s connect and capture some beautiful moments together!

    Warmly,
    Katie
