Hi, I'm Kate!

When I received my first DSLR in 2007, it was love at first snap (oh, that Rebel XTi sure was glorious!). Now, 10 years later, I feel beyond lucky to call photography my full-time job.

I love talking shop with photographers, and I’m happy to share everything I’ve learned — I’m an open book! Whether you’ve been shooting for years or days, I’m ready to help you create a business that serves your lifestyle and brings you joy.

Pull up a chair, grab some iced coffee, and take a peek at some of my favorite resources for making your life easier!
