Your life story deserves to be beautifully told

Every season. Every chapter. Every precious in-between moment—they all matter.
We often wait for the big milestones to document our lives. The graduations, the weddings, the major celebrations. But what about everything else? The lazy Sunday mornings, the spontaneous adventures, the quiet evenings at home, the way your family laughs together over dinner. These are the moments where life is actually lived, where memories are truly made, and where your unique story unfolds.
That's where I come in.
I believe every part of your life adds up to something beautiful and worth preserving. The big events and the small joys. The planned celebrations and the everyday magic. All of it deserves to be captured authentically and displayed proudly on your walls—not hidden away on a hard drive somewhere.
Because years from now, it's not just the milestones you'll want to remember. It's how it all felt. How your kids looked at that age. How you loved each other in this season. The little details that make your story uniquely yours.
Joyful photography that blends candid moments with a few natural poses sprinkled in—for people ready to laugh, be themselves, and go with the flow, because the best images happen when you're actually having fun.
Let's document your story—not just the highlight reel, but the beautiful, messy, joyful reality of your life as it's happening right now.

Meet your Raleigh NC, Portrait photographer

I'm a Raleigh-based portrait photographer who believes the in-between moments matter just as much as the milestones. I have a passion for natural light, genuine emotion, and capturing the beauty of everyday life as it unfolds. My clients love that I blend candid, real-life moments with a few natural poses—all while keeping the session light, fun, and pressure-free. So wether it's your graduation day, a baby on the way or just a session of you and loved ones on a Saturday I'm here for it!

Tell me your story

Amazing Photographer!
Katherine has been so much fun to work with and she does an amazing job! I cannot say enough great things about her! We have had two family sessions with her now (6 adults and 2 kids for each) and both times went great. She is easy going, super nice and interacted great with the kids! She responds very quickly to all questions and her turnaround time is fantastic. The only problem I have is trying to decide on which pictures to get (which is an awesome problem to have!) As long as she is taking pictures, she will be our photographer!!
