I'm Katy.
Stumbling fairly confidently through the last two years of my twenties, passionately advocating for self-love and growth♥
When I'm not working on anything photo related, I'm typically on an endless quest for life's simple pleasures. Finding new music I like, road trips, long hikes with my dogs, collecting cool rocks, thrifting, stargazing, forest-bathing, and forever finding new ways to enjoy this beautiful life I'm experiencing. Photography has been my way of capturing my life's little glimmers in a tangible way, and started as my way of focusing on the good when life felt heavy. What started as a hobby, quickly grew into this sweet little biz I get to show up for everyday.
Connecting with people is my favourite part about my job but, please have me home by 9, I'm an introvert with dogs at home who miss me a lot when I leave. Being a mostly stay-at-home dog mom was the goal, and it's a pretty sweet gig, but I will leave for a good adventure, and will even photograph certain locations for free if I get to check something off of my photography bucket list. ☺
MY WORK
moody, warm, nostalgic
My editing style is heavily inspired by filmy tones and feelings of nostalgia. My shooting style is a healthy combo of lifestyle and editorial with a focus on capturing true, candid emotion in order to create images that just feel like a memory. I love BW images and can definitely appreciate a moody, grainy edit. Each session is unique and every gallery is hand-edited to fit the vision and concept that my clients and I plan in advance, I love hearing out-of-the-box, creative ideas!
relaxed, candid, and natural
I take my time and photograph intentionally. I don’t like to rush or be rushed so, I assume the same goes for my clients. As someone who knows what it’s like to feel awkward in front of a camera, I prefer to keep things relaxed, candid, and natural feeling. I am a very “go with the flow” kind of gal when it comes to my sessions - Sometimes this means walking, talking, and really getting to know my clients before the camera starts clicking.
A typical client gallery will consist of a combination of lightly posed, prompted, and candid images. If you’re looking for cookie-cutter posing and “smile at the camera” type photos, I’m likely not the photographer for you; and that’s okay! The great thing about hiring a photographer is that there are SO many options and styles to choose from, I like to be transparent from the beginning so that my clients know what they can expect before they book.
