Hi, I'm Kathy. Your Biggest Cheerleader Behind the Camera.

Keep Scrolling & Get to know me

You know that feeling when you're with someone who just 'gets' you? That's exactly what I want every client to experience when we work together. I'm not just your photographer. I'm the person in your corner, celebrating every beautiful thing about you, and sometimes your tissue-provider all rolled into one.

Collect beautiful moments, and let them tell the story of your life.

My Story

Photography found me later in life, but honestly, cameras and photos have been in my hands since I was a child. There's something about capturing a moment that just spoke to me from the very beginning. After years as an educator working with everyone from preschoolers to high schoolers, I discovered my passion for helping people see their own beauty and worth through my lens. There's something magical about that moment when someone sees their photos and realizes, 'Wow, that's really me?' I love being part of creating that feeling.

My Why

Here's what I believe: every single person deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and celebrated. Whether you're embracing your confident side during an empowerment session, glowing with new life, wrangling kids for family photos, or saying 'I do' to your forever person, you deserve to have those moments captured with love, authenticity, and zero judgment.

My Approach

I'm the photographer who will:

Arrive early to scout the perfect lighting.

Help zip your dress and calm your pre-session nerves.

Make you laugh until you forget there's a camera pointed at you.

Celebrate every beautiful thing about you, because there are so many!

Send you sneak peeks within 48 hours, because I'm just as excited as you are.

When I'm Not Behind the Camera

When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me soaking up Florida's beautiful beaches (my happy place!), planning my next travel adventure, getting lost in a good book, and making memories with my family and friends. Music speaks to my soul and often sets the mood for my editing sessions. I believe life is meant to be celebrated and explored, and I bring that sense of adventure and joy into every single shoot.

Kathy was great. Made us feel very comfortable during our shoot and helped choose a good location that matched the vibe we were going for. We got our photos back within a great time frame too. We can’t wait to have her shoot our wedding as well!
