This photography business I have built is my most rewarding accomplishment to date, and even that is an understatement. I’m an international wedding and portrait photographer based in Wisconsin, and this life has given me more amazing experiences than I could have ever imagined. It is a pleasure and an honor to document the relationships people share in a way that shows who they truly are, as individuals and as a couple. You deserve to have images that capture the essence of your relationship as it is today, so you can remember these moments for the rest of your life while still recognizing yourselves in those images. You celebrating your relationship and all its gifts helps spread more love in the world! 

Our boudoir babes and couples walk away from their session feeling empowered and fearless, having created images that reflect their most genuine selves with their awesome-factor turned all the way up.

I believe photography is a preservation method, and that these preserved memories should be seen every day. As a photographer, I get to choose when to stop time and make a memory permanent. That's pretty amazing, if you ask me. I love authenticity–raw and honest emotions, natural and organic interactions, and true-to-life colors.

I might be a little biased, but I have the greatest life partner in the world. My husband, Andy, has given the words "true love" meaning in my life, beyond just seeing that love between my clients and in the movies I watch. He is my rock, my best friend, and the biggest supporter a girl could ask for. Together, we have a beautiful daughter, Avery, who is the light of our lives.

I delight in being a foodie and craft beer lover; some of the best experiences I’ve had have been around the dinner table, sharing incredible food and drink with amazing people. Experiences are far more thrilling to me than material possessions. I’m the mom of two kitties, Penny and Callie, who keep my lap warm while I work on my laptop. Our pups, Bella and Mya, keep life exciting and full of joy, and remind us to get outside and stretch our legs. I’m always planning the next great adventure that will take me around the world (peep our upcoming travel dates here!), and I dream about places I have yet to explore. These travels and my education have shown me how beautiful our planet is, which has fueled my efforts to be more environmentally conscious. My life so far has been an amazing journey, and I am deeply appreciative to every person, place, and experience that has been a part of it.

I look forward to seeing how we can enhance each other’s lives!

XO, Kate
