Photography for the Sentimental


moments that matter most
I capture the moments you’ll want to treasure for a lifetime, and also the ones you maybe didn’t notice. I pride myself on capturing the in-between – the space filled with raw emotion and honesty, where you are fully yourself. I’m thankful you are here, and hope you feel the authenticity in my work.

hi there, i’m kate.
I’m a full-time graphic designer by day and an entrepreneur by night. I moved to Kansas City after graduating from Kansas State University (go cats!), but I love to travel. My growing photography business + a full time job is a lot to juggle, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
I think a good book or an episode of The Office could cure most anything, and I know more random facts about dog breeds than could ever be useful. My love language is Quality Time, and I crave meaningful connections with people. I think that’s what I seek when I’m behind my lens. Now let me hear a little about you!

Testimonials
what they’re saying
"From the moment we met, Kate made us feel so comfortable and at ease, and it truly shows in the photos. She has an incredible ability to capture genuine, candid moments—whether it’s the laughter during our proposal shoot or the quiet, intimate glance on our wedding day. We were amazed at how seamlessly she blended into the day, never missing a single precious moment.
Kate has a true gift for capturing the real emotion of the day, without it ever feeling staged or forced. The lighting, the angles, the timing, the editing —everything was perfect. If you're looking for a photographer who can deliver more than just posed shots, but rather, truly captures the heart and soul of your love story, we highly recommend Kate!"
