A painter first, Katie credits her background in fine art as the secret to her success. She was halfway through her BA program when her advisor asked her to take his photography class. As soon as her images took to life in the darkroom she knew photography would be her calling. She went on to become the photo editor of her college newspaper where she polished her technique of not only capturing beautiful images, but the deeper story behind them.

After graduation Katie moved to Louisville and worked under several talented photographers before creating her company in 2004. She quickly became an award winning professional specializing in wedding, children and senior photography. 

In 2008 she moved to Northern Kentucky to be closer to family. The proximity to Cincinnati allowed for more variety of her weddings and the urban setting meant unlimited potential for family sessions. 

Katie's photographic journey came full circle when her firefighter husband encouraged her to pursue her passion for documenting fire scenes. Unlike most incident photographers who focus on a structure fire, Katie turns her camera toward the men and women fighting the blaze. The result is a dramatic look into the world of first responders. A nod to her photojournalistic past and an exciting jumping off point for gallery exhibitions and shows.
