Hi, I’m Kate!

MAMA OF TWO • ADVENTUROUS LEO • NATURE LOVER

As a mother to two little ones, I know the gentle rhythm of these days—the laughter, the chaos, and how quickly it all drifts by. I feel that quiet pull to hold onto every detail—the tiny hands, the sleepy smiles, the moments that make up our story.

I’ve photographed families for nearly a decade, but it wasn’t until becoming a mother that I truly saw the beauty in the everyday—the glow of morning light, the soft giggles, the way love lives in the smallest gestures.

Photography, to me, is poetry in light. It’s shaped by connection, calm, and simplicity. My style blends the timeless with the tender, capturing images that feel warm, peaceful, and true—reminders not just of how this season looked, but how it felt.

Behind the Brand

MY LOVES. MY HEART. MY INSPIRATION.

I'm a mama to a smart, free-spirited, and creative little girl, Eloise (El). My sweet and adventurous baby boy, Emerson (Em), is obsessed with all things mama. Fun fact, they share the same birthday one year apart! These babies are my world and my motivation in all that I do.
