Hi, I'm Kate!

Photographer, Confidence Curator, Small-Town Sparkplug

I believe showing up confidently in front of the camera shouldn’t feel awkward or forced. Whether you’re a senior, small business owner, or bold professional ready to be seen, I’m here to help you feel like yourself—and actually enjoy the process. Based in the heart of Wahoo, Nebraska (yes, it’s real, and I love it), I create photo sessions that feel more like a celebration than a checklist.

Part Photoshoot, Part Party—All You

Working with me means guidance, laughter, and zero awkward “what do I do with my hands?” energy. Think hype woman, creative director, and chill friend in one. My clients often say they felt comfortable, confident, and completely seen—and sometimes even ask to do it again tomorrow.

From Big-City Stages to Small-Town Studio

Before photography, I worked as a stage manager in NYC and Milwaukee, learning how to manage chaos, stay organized, and keep creativity flowing. That backstage mindset still shapes every session today.

Beyond the Camera

I host The One Behind the Lens podcast, co-host Chamber Chat with Kate & Kat, and stay deeply rooted in my Wahoo community. When I’m not working, you’ll find me traveling with Tim or chasing adventures with our spotlight-loving pup, Gizmo.

Let’s create something you’re proud of.
