Hi, I’m Kate!
A Metro Detroit Maternity, Newborn and Family Photographer
As a mom of two, I understand the beautiful chaos of these early years — the tiny hands, sleepy smiles, and fleeting moments that pass far too quickly. That’s why I’m passionate about documenting pregnancy, newborns, and growing families in a natural, meaningful way.
With nearly a decade of experience serving families across Metro Detroit and Oakland County, my work is rooted in simplicity, light, and real emotion. I focus on gentle, candid imagery that captures not just how this season looks — but how it feels.
That same philosophy carries into my Rochester Hills home studio, a warm, light-filled space for newborn, baby, and family photography, thoughtfully designed for timeless, heartfelt portraits.
These are the moments that become your family’s story — and they deserve to be preserved with care.
— Kate ♡
