ABOUT ME
ABOUT MEI am a lover of thrifting, sweet potatoes, listening to my favorite artist on my record player and perusing art museums.
I have loved photography ever since I received my first digital camera at the age of 10. The challenge of adapting to each setting I photograph excites me, and the relational component of capturing others in front of my lens brings me joy.
My Husband and I live in the south metro of Minneapolis with our super cute puppy. We enjoy brunch followed by icecream dates and often visit his family in Mankato and my family in Woodbury.
It is my aim to most authentically capture the person in front of me when I am taking their photo.
I take extra measures to ensure this happens– I talk to people as I take their photo, I get to know them and let them be who they are. I try to reflect you living your life and holding yourself the way that you always do, smiling the way others know you to smile, because YOU is who I want you to see when you get your photos back.
I use prompts instead of poses to accomplish this. You don’t want to look back at your photos and remember how awkward you felt when you were stuck in a stiff pose. You want to remember a moment where you were having fun or connecting with the person who was with you in the photo. That’s what prompts do. With these prompts and a relaxed atmosphere I provide, clients come back saying “that was fun” or “that was way more comfortable than I thought it would be".”
I’ve got you, I’ll make sure you have a great experience and get photos you love. All you have to do is show up!
MY PROCESS
“My husband and I had our yearly family photos taken with Katie and we had so much fun! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and helped guide us through the poses. She even got some adorable shots of our dog!”
