Hi, I am Kat!

 

 

I’ve always loved taking photos—capturing pets, family, friends, nature. and even my baking projects. For years, I used only my phone, simply enjoying the process of documenting everyday moments.


In early 2025, I picked up a camera for the first time and decided to take photography more seriously. Since then, I’ve been learning, experimenting, and growing my skills, turning a longtime hobby into a creative journey.


 

My philosophy

For me, beginner photography is about growth and connection. I’m constantly developing new techniques, practicing, and pushing myself to improve, because getting better never stops.


At the same time, this isn’t just about my growth. It’s about helping clients capture their special moments in a way that feels real and personal. Whether it’s a quiet glance, a burst of laughter, or a small detail that means everything, I’m there to preserve it.

2026 Prices

 

$85

Payment:

50% deposit is required upon scheduling. The remaining balance is due the morning of the event. If no payment is made, you may risk your photoshoot being cancelled and it will not be rescheduled until payment has been made.

Additional Fees:

The portrait costs are for Linn Co. locations only. Any locations outside of Linn Co. requires an additional travel fee of $30, which will be added to the total cost.

Small Events

$85 per hour (3 hour max)

Due to my limited availability, I’m unable to take on larger weddings (30+ individuals). However, I’m happy to provide services for smaller events with a maximum duration of 3 hours. Eligible events include baby showers, retirement parties, birthday parties, small weddings/elopements, and graduation parties.



Each package includes:

  • 45 guaranteed edited photos per hour
  • Photos will be delivered via online gallery, where you are able to download the photos into several different devices in the best quality possible
  • Please allow up to 2 weeks for editing and final gallery delivery


Note: I do not currently offer printed copies of your photos. If you'd like to order professional-quality prints, I recommend using Shutterfly or Mpix. Many of my clients have had great experiences with both companies, and I’m happy to recommend them for printing your images

Policies and Reminders

  • Any reschedules and/or cancellations requires a minimum of 24-hour notice in order for the deposit to roll over to the new date set by the photographer and client. This does not apply to emergency situations (e.g. family emergency, illness, poor weather. etc.).
  • Any no shows and/or late cancellations without notice reason may result in forfeit of deposit. Another deposit may be asked in order to schedule any additional services.
  • Client Conduct Policy:  I am committed to providing a safe, respectful, and enjoyable experience for everyone involved in the photoshoot. If any inappropriate behavior occurs during the session—including, but not limited to, bullying, harassment, name-calling, threats, discrimination, or any criminal or illegal activity—the photoshoot may be terminated immediately without refund. I do not tolerate bullying, harassment, abusive conduct, or criminal behavior of any kind. By booking a session, all clients and participants agree to treat everyone with respect throughout the entire experience.
