Whether this is your first time hiring a photographer or not, I think it’s important you know what you’re getting into to make sure we’re a good fit for each other. I want you to be sure the experience I’ll give you is everything you could dream of and more.
Information
the experience
I'm invested in you and your experience. To me, you are not a transaction or just a photoshoot. Your experience and how you feel is number one priority! You want your photographer to treat you like a friend. When selecting someone to capture pivotal moments in your life, you desire a connection with them and for them to treat you like a friend. My role is not to intervene, but to observe (and occasional direction when necessary), and allow moments to unfold organically. The underlying idea behind this being an experience is to create an environment where you feel at ease enough to let those moments unfold naturally and authentically.
my approach
"Katie is a master at her craft! She is warm, personable, and so kind. My family felt very comfortable and could be ourselves instantly. We left the session feeling like we were hanging out with a friend we've known for years. Our photos were not only artistically beautiful but really captured our natural spirits and personalities, which was 100% facilitated by Katie! We will treasure our photos forever."
warm, personable
Katie is great at making sure you are comfortable while getting your pictures done. Her warm and bubbly personality made it fun to work with her. She made me feel pretty at 9 months pregnant!! Thank you so much for taking such good care of me and my fiancé, a big thank you for being so patient with us.

"made us feel comfortable"
She did an amazing job. My kids weren't feeling very, ahem, cooperative that day, but she somehow managed to get great pictures of everyone. I couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out!
-Claire S.
“amazing job”
"Katie was so wonderful! Great with kids and grandparents. Took all the pictures I wanted. She had a beautiful location picked out and was prepared in all the ways a great photographer should be."
"great photographer"
Katie was easy to work with and had good communication. Our little one was not his typical smiley self and Katie helped to just make it stress free and easy going, capturing our little family just as it was in that moment. Her pictures are beautiful and natural, it was just the fall session we were looking for.

"capture the love"
Katie was absolutely amazing! She was so kind, professional, easy to talk to, and so great with our two kids! We are so in love with our pictures they turned out amazing!!! I cannot wait to hang them on our wall in our home! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our family pictures! :)
-Sarah R.
"Cant wait to see them on our wall"
Katie did an amazing job at capturing our family photos this year! She made the process easy & fun, even with two rambunctious toddlers. She’s flexible, personable, & kind! And our photos turned out wonderfully! Thanks Katie!

"easy and fun"
From the moment we stepped out of the car, Katie was energetic and warming. She made my husband and myself feel comfortable in front of the camera and fully encouraged us to be ourselves. Her artistic eye caught our personalities so perfectly. Katie was such a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her for any family or couples looking to update their portraits.

"caught our personalities perfectly"
Katie was very patient with our kids and was always focused on making our experience smooth and easy. With 2 under the age of 3 she was able to capture beautiful photos of our family.

Don't worry, I've got you covered! I will send you a guide on what to wear.
What should we wear?
My approach to your appearance during the shoot is to maintain your natural look, except for temporary skin imperfections like a zit or scrape. If there's anything that makes you self-conscious, please inform me, and I'll take extra care to position you appropriately while taking pictures.
Will you photoshop us?
The most common worry during family sessions is feeling alone, but rest assured, you are not alone. Children can be unpredictable, but that's completely normal. As a parent of two myself, I've learned to adapt and use various techniques to capture stunning images, even when things don't go as planned. Additionally, after booking, I provide a guide with helpful tips and tricks to prepare both you and your children for the session.
What if my kids act out?
My commitment to you is to provide an abundant collection of pictures that will help you cherish these significant moments. Although the number of images included in each package may differ, I assure you that I won't limit the delivery of any captured photos. I firmly believe in providing all the captured images without any extra charges or hidden fees.
How many images do you include?
FAQs
With its abundance of stunning locations including landscapes, mountains, and deserts, Idaho offers an array of options to choose from. As a native of this place, I am well-versed with its nooks and corners. Whether you're seeking a serene or adventurous setting, we can scout the perfect spot to match your desired ambiance!
How do we pick a location?
I'm all about embracing whatever weather comes our way! But I'm also not about shooting on a cold, rainy day where everyone looks miserable. If there is any way humanly possible we will reschedule.
What if there is bad weather?
I require 25% retainer to secure your spot on my calendar. The remaining 75% is due 2 weeks prior to our shoot. You can split these into 3 payments if you'd like to space them out! Just let me know and I'm happy to work with your schedule!
How does payment work?
I try to get them back to you as quickly has humanly possible while making sure I have a life and that I give time to each and every image. Typically turn around time is 3 weeks or less but can vary during the holidays. You can always add onto your package a rushed turn around time.
What is the turnaround time?
