HEY, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE!
I'M KATIE, A WEDDING AND
FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN HAMILTON, ONTARIO
I'm so honoured to be invited into your lives to witness and help tell your love stories. To watch for the little magic moments, and give them back to you in gorgeous keepsake images.
I love fresh air, country roads, and Oxford commas. My favourite kind of day is when it rains while the sun is shining, and when the evenings are cool enough to throw a tartan blanket around your shoulders.
I will laugh with you, cry with you, and get goosebumps with you...I can't help but feel it all, and I want you to, too.
THESE THINGS ARE MY JAM...
Language
Baby names
Good books
Sad music
Forest bathing
Scotland
My cat, Posey
THE LITTLE MOMENTS ARE WHAT MATTER
Let's just say it: life is short. Nothing is guaranteed. I know how much each small moment, feeling and memory can mean. My dad passed away when I was 16 years old, and through photos of him I'm able to see who he was, hear his laughter, and feel how much he loved me. This drives my work and gives it meaning, because I know how much each moment will be treasured. I love the in-betweens, when you let your guard down, when you rest your head on his shoulder, when his fingers trace the small of your back, when your eyes fill with tears, when you look on, lovingly.
I want your photos to show you that you are loved as you are. I want you to fall even more in love with each other, and for your children and grandchildren to see how loved they were. I want to help you tell your story because the world needs it - because there will be moments when we doubt, regret, fear, or suffer loss, and these images will always remind you that love is real.

"I'm so utterly inspired by your gift for capturing moments. Each photograph has a real sense of what it was like that day, with those people, and I am so overjoyed to be able to walk back and live through all the little moments I didn't take in on the actual day."
KISS SLOWLY,
LAUGH INSANELY,
LIVE TRULY,
AND FORGIVE QUICKLY.
