ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Kate!

“You’ll usually find me camera in hand — unless I’m out having fun with my dog or exploring the countryside on my bike!”

An experienced, creative photographer with a passion for capturing the beauty and emotion of everyday life.

Whether it’s a heartfelt family moment, a fun couple’s portrait, the unique personality of your pet or the magic of a wedding or special event, I’m here to create images you’ll treasure forever.

I believe photography should be fast, fun and full of life! With my journalistic style, creative eye and over 35 years of experience, I’ll make your photoshoot an enjoyable, stress-free experience — and the results will speak for themselves.

I’m all about real smiles, genuine moments and timeless memories. My goal? To make sure you feel comfortable, confident and truly yourself in front of the camera.

Let’s make something amazing together! Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or just want to capture life’s everyday magic, I’d love to be part of your story.
