Hi There! I’m Katie Marie

THIS IS MY STORY ... WANNA BE FRIENDS?

I’m Katie, the gal behind the lens in Louisville, KY. When I don't have my camera strapped to my side, I'm juggling momlife, wifelife, and well, life in general.  I specialize in family photograph[ie] {see what I did there ;) } and capturing the details of life as it is today. I love to shoot everything from newborn, maternity, kiddos, seniors, even group sessions + engagements ... if you're looking for something like that, I'm your girl.

I have always loved taking pictures and believe a single photograph tells a million stories. I realized my love for photography while I studied abroad in college (when you're staring at things like the Duomo in Florence, Italy while walking to class you can't help but feel inspired). And I have continued to let my passion for beautiful images follow me around. I love to travel and document everything, down to what kind of ice cream I had that day + who I shared those memories with. I work to freeze moments of time with loved ones, aim to remember those chunky baby thighs, and relish the importance of that senior jersey.

Photography continues to open doors and mixes well with my love for people. I truly enjoy working to capture the unique story individuals have to tell. Pictures should capture who a person really is: from a cheesy smile, to a beloved binky, a serious side, and even those raggedy old sneakers that have molded to one's feet. I commit to hanging upside down, making silly faces to make the kiddos laugh, and crawling around to ensure the perfect shot. 

I too have a family, and embrace how important it is to harness every moment. The fun times and precious memories that tend to be entirely too fleeting. I am a wife to my wonderful husband, Shane. We have a little boy that was born in 2013 and has been running away with our hearts ever since. His spitfire little sister joined our crew in 2015 and has mastered the art of keeping us on our toes. So, trust me, as a parent ... I totally get it. The family sessions won't be perfect - and that's okay! - we don't want them to be. We want to capture who they are and what they're all about - I promise it will end well. And I want to help you remember these times too, because as we all know "the days are long, but the years are short."

I strive to mix and match posed shots for those family cards, but I love candid shots to pause that moment in time; leaving you and your family memories for years to come. I look forward to getting the chance to know more about you and piecing together the scrapbook of your life.
