Hi! I’m Katie!
I’m a Des Moines, Iowa photographer specializing in weddings and family photos.
2024 marks my 12th year running this wedding + portrait photography business of mine and I cannot wait to walk alongside and document my sweet couples and families as they grow, change, and live life.
I first fell in love with photography as I scrolled through a photographer’s blog posts, reading the stories of the couples being photographed. I never imagined that eventually it would be my job to visually document those stories and help preserve those memories for my own clients.
A little about me
I am an observer of moments. A little bit sarcastic. A lotta bit optimistic. I love finding the happiness in the smallest things.
It is a rarity to have a job where your clients are more like friends, and that’s something that has been so fulfilling for me!
