We had the best experience with our family photos! She was incredibly patient and kind with our toddler and baby, and somehow captured the most genuine, beautiful moments. The photos truly feel like us, and we’ll treasure them forever.
everyday stories || senior session
Katelynn was so fun to work with for senior pictures. She was quick to understand our son’s personality and had awesome, creative ideas to capture his style and put him at ease. She captured his personality, his natural smile, and we couldn’t be more happy with how his senior pictures turned out!

Working with Kate was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding — and beyond that, for my professional nursing photos!!! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, comfortable, and genuinely fun. She made us feel so relaxed in front of the camera, and the photos captured the feeling of the moment, not just the image. Truly so fun!!! My professional shoot was just as incredible — polished, empowering, and beautifully done. The attention to detail, creativity, and care she puts into every session really shows in the final images. I couldn’t be happier with the results and will cherish these our photos forever. I highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for someone talented, professional, and truly passionate about their work! Blessed to know her as my photographer and friend!
story collection || the first chapter
I can’t say enough great things about Kate! I’ve worked with her professionally for headshots and personally for extended family photos, and now for our growing family through The First Chapter Story Collection. Every experience has been amazing. She has a true gift for making people feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera, which somehow results in photos that look effortless and beautiful. Kate keeps sessions fun, easygoing, and stress-free, even when conditions aren’t exactly ideal. Case in point: our pregnancy announcement photos happened during harvest with heavy bean dust flying everywhere. Kate rolled with it like a pro and still captured absolutely incredible images. If you want a photographer who’s talented, flexible, and genuinely fun to work with, Kate is your girl. We wouldn’t trust anyone else to capture our biggest moments!

Our kids absolutely love her, which makes every session relaxed and fun, and it truly shows in the photos. We couldn’t imagine trusting our family memories with anyone else.

everyday stories || family session
We have been lucky enough to work with Kate for the past decade, both as her sister-in-law and as clients, and there is truly no one else we would trust with our family’s memories. From family sessions to maternity and newborn shoots, Kate has been there for every chapter of our lives. She has an incredible gift for making everyone feel comfortable during her sessions, resulting in galleries that feel natural and authentic to each individual shoot. We couldn’t imagine having anyone else capture these moments, and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Katelynn creates the best atmosphere by balancing fun and professionalism! She is so good and patient with our kids, which probably comes from her past experiences as an educator and cheer coach. While she might be one of my closest friends, I wouldn’t want anyone else to capture our family photos.
everyday stories || family session
We’ve been lucky enough to have Kate capture our family growth for many years now—both personally and professionally. From maternity shoots, fresh postpartum, cousin shoots with 5+ toddlers and updated family photos, she makes every shoot feel relaxed and is able to capture genuine smiles and giggles from everyone. She goes above and beyond and has helped coordinate color palettes, was patient with babies that just woke up from naps, and even helped bring our vision of fall photos with cows to life. I look forward to working with her for years to come!

everyday stories || family session
Katelynn captured our personalities perfectly in our family session. She was so patient with the kids and captured stunning yet natural photos—finding beauty in all the chaos. While my kids are naturally comfortable with Kate because of our lifelong friendship, she’s also photographed extended family sessions for my husband’s side. Watching her work with both kids and adults—joking when appropriate, gently poking fun, and knowing exactly how to help everyone relax—made it clear how skilled she truly is at capturing genuine moments.
story collection || micro-wedding
We were so lucky to have Kate photograph our micro wedding! From the very beginning, she was thoughtful and incredibly intentional. The photos she captured don’t just show how the day looked, they show how it felt. She took such great care to make sure everyone was comfortable, and somehow managed to wrangle our toddler with absolute grace (which alone deserves a medal). We’re extremely grateful to have our day preserved forever by such a talented photographer.
everyday stories || couples session
Our five-year anniversary photo shoot with Kate was an amazing experience! She was incredibly easy to work with and made what could’ve felt like an awkward couples session feel relaxed, natural, and genuinely fun. Kate is a true professional, and she captured our connection and the love we have for each other beautifully. One thing I especially appreciated is her attention to detail—she makes sure you look your best in every shot, from fixing flyaway hairs to adjusting off-center jewelry. Thanks to her care and expertise, our photos turned out absolutely perfect.
