About The Artist

Kate’s warm and eclectic personality will make your experience with her both enjoyable and memorable. Without exception, fun will be had when you hire her to create your portrait or capture your special day, which makes it possible for her to photograph life’s essential, innate emotions. She is flexible, creative, easy to work with, and always eager to be behind the camera.

Her passion has always been photography. Kate is the oldest of five siblings and several cousins, and her favorite activity was photographing all of those "willing" subjects. While in college, working as a teacher, pursuing her Master’s Degree, and working as a nonprofit executive, she pursued her photography career on the side. Finally giving in to her true love, Kate devoted herself full time in 2002.

Kate’s love for photography as well as involvement in the special moments in others lives certainly grew as a result of planning her own wedding and having a baby. Connecting with Kate is effortless; she vividly remembers the excitement of being a bride, the anticipation of pregnancy, the indescribable emotions of being a new mom, and now, the pride in watching her own child grow. These truly special times as well as the joy and simplicity of everyday family living are certainly times worth remembering, and Kate will artistically document the moments to be treasured for years to come.

A Few Words on Style...

Wedding Photography

My style is a blend of photojournalism, fine art, and traditional wedding photography. This means that, in an unobtrusive manner, I capture the moments of your day as they happen. I still take the more traditional portraits, but in a creative and natural way. I also love to document all of the emotions, details, beauty, and sheer joy of a wedding day. Skill, education, training, and creativity are all very important, but I would say that it is my personality that makes me a great wedding photographer. I absolutely love what I do!

 Lifestyle Portraiture

My approach to portraiture is very natural. I work on location, which means that I will come to you, either at your home or at a beautiful outdoor setting. Of course we’ll get some of the “everybody smile and look at the camera” images, but I also focus on capturing your relationship and some of those more natural moments that just happen. It is truly an experience you can’t get in a studio and the results are so much more meaningful!

 Location

I accept weddings and portraits in North Carolina, Indianapolis, and New Orleans. But, I’m also available for travel just about anywhere!

 Associate Photographers

If I am not personally available, I have Associate Photographers who have trained under me. And, best of all, they come at a reduced fee.
