I'm Katie

your friendly family phototaker

I have been documenting families for over fourteen years and I already know these things about you...
  • You want photos that feel genuine and natural
  • You love belly laugh photos, but also the serious ones of your kids
  • You want both indoor and outdoor photos
  • You want photos that feel effortless

Imagine a photography experience you actually enjoy and have fun with!

Picture this: a family session that feels less like a photoshoot and more like a joyful, effortless day together. You arrive at my 1,500 sq. ft. indoor/outdoor studio, where every detail is designed with families in mind. We might start outside in the lush green space that backs up to a state park, wander through the greenhouse for dreamy natural-light portraits, and then move inside for cozy, lifestyle-inspired images in the living room and bed setups.

While you relax, your little ones explore the toddler play area, newborns are styled with beautiful props from the studio wardrobe, and everything—from diapers to changing space—is thoughtfully provided so you don’t have to worry about a thing. You’re guided just enough to feel confident and natural, never stiff or over-posed. By the end, you don’t just feel photographed—you feel cared for, seen, and celebrated. The result? Timeless, intentional images that feel personal, elevated, and made to be cherished and shared for years to come.

THe KVR sessions

Family

Family Sessions are perfect for families, sibling portraits, birthdays, and cake smashes. Each session includes a mix of full family photos, individual portraits of the children, and any combination in between. We’ll explore multiple spots within one location for a variety of looks. Sessions last up to one hour, include two outfit changes, and deliver 40 fully retouched images with a print release.

Newborn

Newborn Sessions are best scheduled when your baby is between 5–12 days old, when they’re still sleepy and curly for those classic newborn poses. We’ll reserve your session for about a week after your due date and adjust once your baby arrives to ensure perfect timing. Newborn sessions are held on weekdays only to allow flexibility around doctor appointments and family schedules, so your experience feels calm, easy, and stress-free.

Maternity

Maternity Sessions are typically scheduled between 30–35 weeks (or whenever you feel your best) to beautifully showcase your growing bump. Partners and siblings are always welcome to join, making it a special experience for the whole family. We recommend evening sessions for that soft, golden light that creates the most dreamy, glowing images.

Milestones

Child Milestone Sessions capture your baby’s sweetest stages during the first year, from those first hours to their first birthday. Options include a Fresh 48 hospital session, followed by milestone sessions around 4 months, 8 months, and 12 months to document every tiny change—smiles, sitting, crawling, and first steps. These sessions are relaxed, age-appropriate, and designed to create a beautiful, cohesive collection of images that tell your baby’s first-year story.
