Experience
I personally photograph most of the weddings I book, If I am unavailable we can discuss you working with one of my trusted associate photographers. My associates are all professional who I have picked to match my style, energy, and client experience. All planning, communication, and final editing still comes from me, so you receive the same elevated, intentional service, just with someone I trust behind the camera.
What happens if you aren't available on our date??
Yes, often and happily. Whether it’s Tuscany, New York, or somewhere quieter, I love photographing in both familiar and foreign spaces.
Do you travel?
I typically book 1–3 months in advance for portraits, and 8–12 months for weddings. However, I always welcome last-minute magic when possible.
How far in advance should we book?
Frequently asked questions
Do not even worry about it! I will be giving prompts that will get you moving and feeling more natural and confident than just stiff poses. I will be capturing real interactions and love so no need to be nervous.
What if we are shy in front of the camera?
For non-wedding shoots my turn around time is 3 weeks max from the day we took the photos. For weddings, my turnaround time is 8 weeks.
How long until I get my edited Album?
No, the engagement session is complimentary because it is a great chance for us to meet and work together before the day of your wedding.
Can we take off the engagement session from our wedding package?
No, I believe that sending unedited images is sending uncompleted work. A lot of time goes into editing the images to make them look the way they do and that finished product is what I want you to end up with.
Will you ever send unedited images?

"We had the best experience with Katie and her team! They were super easy to work with from the start, always quick to respond, organized, and just really great with communication overall.
On the day of our event, Katie's associate, made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. They were incredibly talented with a camera. They knew exactly what they were doing, had such a great eye, and captured everything so naturally.
The photos turned out absolutely beautiful (we’re obsessed)!! They caught all the little moments and emotions that made the day so special. If you’re looking for a team that’s skilled, professional, and well communicated, we sincerely recommend Katie and her team!"

"Katie was incredible from start to finish! The entire process, from booking to planning, to the session itself, and finally receiving our gallery,was absolutely seamless. Katie provided us with location options and helpful tips ahead of time, ensuring we were fully prepared for the shoot.
We chose Sunset Cliffs for our engagement photos and brought along our golden retriever. Katie made the experience so enjoyable, knowing exactly how to position us to reflect the inspiration photos we shared and how to help us feel completely at ease. It felt more like a fun outing than a photoshoot!
The photos she captured are beyond beautiful, moments we’ll cherish forever."

"Katie was amazing for our engagement shoot! Both my fiance and I aren't always super comfortable in front of the camera, but Katie helped us feel comfortable where we could laugh and have fun during our shoot. And we loved how she was able to capture our love, and the coloring and editing of her photos were beautiful. Thank you Katie!"

"Katie recently photographed our wedding and engagement photos, and we couldn't be more thrilled with how smoothly everything went and how amazing the photos turned out!!
As two people who are extremely camera shy, Katie was amazing at creating a comfortable atmosphere where we felt we could be ourselves and relax in front of the camera. From the posed shots to the candids to everything in between, she captured everything we wanted from our day, and was extremely helpful at helping us optimize our wedding day timeline to get the shots we wanted while keeping our full focus on enjoying the day and being present with our guests and each other. We can't recommend working with Katie highly enough."
