Photographs as honest as the people in them

so nice to meet you! I'm katie - a coffee obsessed sunset chaser + visual storyteller.

hey!

Meet katie

Get to know me

I'm an elopement and family portrait photographer based in beautiful Coal Creek Canyon, Colorado, where the foothills meet golden hour.  At the heart, I'm a storyteller through and through.

I believe photographs aren't just decoration. They're the proof that your family was here, that your love was real, and that this season of life actually happened.

Whether you're planning an elopement (in Colorado or literally anywhere else) or chasing your toddler through a wildflower meadow - I'm here to capture your story exactly as it happened. The sweet and the salty. The tender and the chaotic. All of it.

The noise, the tenderness, the toddler who refused to cooperate, and the moment right after when everyone laughed anyway. These are the photos people pull out decades later. Let's make sure you have them.

You don't want a wedding that's performative. You want a day that's entirely yours - just the two of you, a place that means something, and vows that mean something. I'll be right there with you for all of it - planning it, capturing it, and hyping you up every second.

A moment meant just for You...

"Katie was incredible to work with. She helped my kids feel comfortable from the minute we walked in. She gave them easy instructions to follow along with fun activities to lighten the mood and have some fun. Getting pictures with young kids can be challenging but this was such a low stress experience. I highly recommend Katie to capture your family milestones"

Ashtyn + Chris

"I almost feel silly calling Katie our elopement photographer because she was EVERTHING! This was not just a photoshoot. She was multiple states over communicating schedules and ideas. She made sure every detail was taken care of. She had the sweetest ideas that made sharing this moment together even more special and her photos are magazine level."

"Katie is an exceptional photographer and a gem of a human. She did our family portraits with our 2 month old and I will cherish these precious moments that she captured on camera forever!"

let's go!

You deserve photos that look like your life actually feels.
