Hello...it's me...Katie

I started this dope business and I love it something fierce. I'm a Chicago raised gal currently living in Portland, OR but I put down little roots all over the world and love it that way!

I started out as a wedding/couples photographer but always got booked for fun little shoots here and there and quickly found out I loved it!

From health clinics to rappers to comedians to toddler birthdays and pets - I want to put some heart and emotion into all shoots and take out the icky intimidating feeling when people think of photoshoots.

Photoshoots are FUN! They are for celebrating, for growth, and for sexy ass confidence.
