I believe in candid moments and finding beauty in the imperfectly perfect. I believe in unhinged laughter and stollen glances. I believe in cheers in candlelight and dancing in waves. I believe in images that demand to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come.

KATIE
BEHIND THE LENSE
-Katie
Hi, I'm Katie, a visual storyteller living my dream life on a small lake in WNY, and documenting the best day of couples lives for a living. It really doesn't get much better than that.
You will often see me carrying my L.L.Bean Boat and Tote bag everywhere I go (L.L.Bean, sponsor me), collecting driftwood and shells like it's my job, and splashing in the waves with my two kiddos after dinner.
After telling God I'd never be a wedding photographer (true story, ask me about it sometime), in 2017 I picked up my parents' old Nikon camera, photographed my first wedding, and never looked back.
I'm forever grateful to all the couples who've chosen me over the years to document this special season of their lives.
IT's NICE TO MEET YOU
- Zac & Amber
She truly captured the day between beautiful emotional photos of my husband and I, to feeling like we are back on the dance floor with the bright and fun reception photos. We had multiple people complimenting how great our photographer was. We truly were so lucky to have found her.
“finding Katie was THE BEST THING that happened to us.”
my CLIENTS HAVE THE SWEETEST THINGS TO SAY
You will find me towing my two kiddos around our little lake town with one in hand.
BOAT TOTE
Our home is surrounded by limelight hydrangeas, and I'm always brainstorming where I can plant more.
HYDRANGEAS
the LAKE
There's something about the sound of waves that washes all my cares and worries away.
My home is littered with special peices passed down from my mother and grandmother.
HEIRLOOMS
every week needs to start with a morning of worship, focusing on our Lord and Savior.
SUNDAY worship
Each moment calls for it's own unique approach. Whether I need to be a fly on the wall or a leading director, I'm thrilled to play the part and create beautiful art along the way.
my PROCESS
After telling God I'd never be a wedding photographer (true story, ask me about it sometime), in 2017 I picked up my parents' old Nikon camera, photographed my first wedding, and never looked back.
my JOURNEY
My style is unapologetically artistic, with a solid mix of real candids and intentionally directed images. They're colorful, emotional, nostalgic, and sometimes perfectly imperfect.

If you're looking for images that are nostalgic and beautiful and a photo experience that is as easy as checking into a five star hotel, you're in the right place.
I value taking the time to get to know each couple and family that I work with so that I can best tell the story of their lives. Get ready to fill your walls with images that make you smile for years to come.
