Sun-soaked memories of a love that keeps growing
I’m Katherine, a documentary-style storyteller capturing families, new beginnings, and all the beautiful moments in between. As a mama of two—and soon three—I know how fleeting these seasons are, which is why I pour my heart into preserving giggles, snuggles, belly laughs, and everything imperfectly perfect. My work isn’t about posed smiles; it’s about the candid moments that truly reflect your family and become keepsakes to treasure.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me at home with my little ones painting, reading favorite books, soaking up screen-free days… until a VHS of Little Bear or Curious George makes its way into the living room. We love park and beach days, outdoor adventures, and Disney dates when daddy’s home. At the heart of it all, I’m just another mom embracing the beautiful mess of raising (soon) three under three—and feeling honored to capture that same magic for other families.
Mamas, this is for you. Whether it’s your first bump, your second, or your third, these moments are fleeting—and they’re yours. Your body is growing a human, carrying a tiny life, and that’s no small feat. The laughter, the kicks, the quiet moments alone with your growing baby—they’re real, they’re raw, and they’re priceless. Don’t wait for the “perfect” time or let the cost hold you back—these memories last a lifetime, long after the bump is gone. Do it for yourself. Do it because your body did something incredible. Do it because you are a superhuman, and these moments deserve to be celebrated, remembered, and cherished forever. Let’s capture your story—exactly as it is, beautifully real.
Cuddles, chaos, and memories… welcome aboard!
Parents, these little ones won’t stay little forever. The tiny hands, the big giggles, the bedtime stories, the spontaneous dance parties in the living room—they’re fleeting, and time is moving faster than we realize. These are the moments that shape your family story, the ones you’ll want to remember long after the toys are outgrown and the laughter echoes differently. Don’t wait for “someday” or the perfect day—book a session now and preserve the magic of who your children are today. These photos become more than pictures; they become keepsakes, reminders of a season of life that passes all too quickly. Capture it, celebrate it, and hold onto it forever.

I was on the hunt for a photographer to take some maternity photos of me in my third trimester. I had some inspiration pictures and I was searching for someone whose photography style matched that. I found Katherine on Instagram and I was in love with her work. As soon as I reached out to Katherine I knew I had found the right person. We talked about vision, put together a little mood board and game plan. The whole process was so easy and so fun. On the day of our shoot I was so comfortable- like hanging out with a friend. The photos I received were 10x better than what I had even envisioned!"

Katherine was amazing. She was very responsive to all messages, was well prepared for the photo shoot, and took amazing photos. She made sure that we got the best quality pictures and was very flexible with scheduling. She also got our edited pictures to us in just a few days. You can tell that she authentically loves what she does and wants the best for her clients. I recommend her 100% !
