When you look at these photos, I want you to remember having butterflies before your wedding, being a new mama, playing with your kids. My style holds lots of laughs and bright, true colors with a snuggle of warmth. I want you to look back at these pictures and remember this you felt in this season of life. And - here's a secret - perfection is OVERRATED! If the wind blows your hair all over the place, laugh and embrace it. If it rains, we'll dance. If it pours, we'll take cover, because cameras are expensive.

 let's get weird + awkward. I don't chase perfection - I'm here to document the real memories

Here’s the good stuff you came for

You care more about how your wedding day FEELS than looks.
You love to laugh, play, & snuggle.
You frequently quote movies in your every day conversations.
You're flexible on timing for that good good light.
You care more about MEMORIES than posed photos.
You're armed with dad jokes at all times.
You shrug it off if your outfit gets a little dirt on it.
You know pizza & ice cream is ALWAYS an acceptable dinner option.
You LOOOVE feeling sunshine on your skin & wind in your hair.
You’re laughing RIGHT NOW and you trust me with your memories!

You Might Be My Client If:

"she got all the shots that captured our perfect day"

"Katy did our wedding in the middle of the COVID pandemic and she was AMAZING!! She got all the shots that captured our perfect day. She made it fun and made it easy to pose for the pictures. We are so happy with how all our photos turned out and we will be using her again in the future!" - TAYLOR & PETER

"Her creativity really shines through each photo"

"Katy came out to my house to do pregnancy photos of me, my husband and dog! She was amazing; during a very vulnerable time in my life she was able to capture the true feelings of our excitement welcoming our baby girl! She was so much fun to work with and extremely patient throughout the whole process. She remembered previous conversations we had had about what was important to me during the photo shoot and was able to bring it all to life. Her creativity really shines through each photo while giving you the "aww I love this one" reaction to each one I view to this day!" -SARAH

How Many Images Are Included?

I do NOT limit my images - I do cull through and remove duplicates, blinkers, etc but if it's beautiful, it's in your gallery. It is worth mentioning that the more time we allow for photos (especially in a wedding day timeline) the more time wehave to get more photos, and have time to relax and get creative.

Do You Give Out Unedited Photos?

NO - It's not my finished work! You hire me for the total vision that you see through my work in my website and social medias. A RAW image is not a finished product. It's a huge file that typically clients don't have the right programs to edit. I deliver in JPEG so you can download, share, and print your photos easily!

How Do You Keep Our Photos Safe?

BACKUPS ON BACKUPS. Your photos are backed up on multiple hard drives and I keep your photos on the SD cards I shoot on until the final gallery is delivered. To this day, I keep all RAWS and edits on multiple hard drives from all sessions. 

How Do I Book You?

STEP 1 - Fill out my contact form
STEP 2 - We chat all things details
STEP 3 - Sign a contract, make a deposit, your date is booked!
STEP 4 - PARTY TIME

What Happens If You Can’t Be At Our Wedding?

I WILL BE THERE. If an act of God or contagious disease strikes me, I have a list of associate shooters to fill in for me. I have it all built into my contract too.
YOU ARE TAKEN CARE OF. 

What If We Cancel/Resched Our Date?

Also built into my contract! You make a non-refundable deposit to book your date. If your wedding is cancelled, that fee is not refundable. I do allow for reschedules with a small fee, and if I am booked for your new date, you have the option to hire someone else or I will have an associate photograph it and I will edit the photos, handle all communication, etc.

How Long Have You Been A Photographer?

Almost 4 years! I've photographed weddings, senior, newborns, families, portraits, dogs - and love it all!

Will You Photoshop Us?

I will not over edit YOU. Every season of life, every piece of character on your body is to be celebrated. I do not photoshop body shapes or sizes. The main exception is acne - I can edit this out.
I can also re-edit a black and white image into color, or a color image into black and white.

What Happens If The Weather Is Bad?

I HIGHLY recommend staying flexible with the weather! Unless it's an outright downpour, we can still shoot, and should! A little creativity never hurt anyone.

What Do We Wear To Our Photoshoot?

I. GOT. YOU. When you book with me, I will send you my client outfit guide PACKED with info. Neutrals and textures are always a safe bet. Generally, stay away from neons, big patterns or logos, or anything tooooo matchy matchy.

Do You Offer Discounts?

 I will occasionally offer minis. This is my job though! I am supporting my family and I hope you invest in your memories and my art and experience! That being said - I can work with your budget. I'm happy to create a custom package for you and/or offer payment plans.

What Is Your Turnaround Time?

Every wedding package comes with a sneak peek within 24 hours and a maxxxx 30 day turn around on your private digital gallery.

Every other session comes with a sneak peek within 24 hours and a maxxxx 30 day turn around on your private digital gallery.

No matter what kind of session we plan, I will also deliver some polaroid photos day of! They're old school and imperfect and that's exactly what makes them perfect. Something to hold in your hand and celebrate immediately.

How Do Travel Expenses Work?

Most of my work this far has not incurred travel fees! If booking a destination wedding or session, I will include it in my original quote to you upfront!

Do You Help In The Planning Process?

HECK. YES. No matter what kind of shoot we're planning, I'd love to be involved! I got married almost 4 years ago and LOVED IT. I can help with dresses, details, timeline, to do lists, whatever you need. I am in your corner and my biggest priority is serving you any way I can! I have several client guides to send as soon as you book, from family session planning, a wedding guide, or even what to wear. I'm here for you! 

How Do You Deliver Our Photos?

All galleries are delivered via a private, online digital gallery. You have print rights, so you can download, print, and share your photos however you'd like. Give me a tag if you share on social media! :) Referrals are a HHHUUUGGGEEE part of my business, and I would love to see those tags and reviews come in!!
