THE LENS
01: FAITH // Faith is intertwined with my identity and God has showed me who I was meant to be. I am inspired by all of God's creations.
02: FILM// I value the mastery required to create beautiful film imagery. In my opinion it can't be replicated. It is such a unique craft and timeless art.
03: CONNECTION // The experience isn't just about the photos; it's about relationships. You deserve a memory that you can look back on & hold dear to your heart forever. Connections with my clients, make all the magic happen.
INSPIRATION
Luminous lakes, waterfalls and endless oceans

In 2005, I started my photography journey on the coast of Northern California coast capturing and selling landscape photography. In 2009, my father's unexpected departure fueled a deepening passion for capturing the essence of people through photography. This unfortunate experience will forever change the way I document and the significance of photography in my life. Seven years ago, I photographed my first wedding, and I was completely captivated by every part of the experience. The most fulfilling aspect of being a wedding photographer is crafting images that will transform into lasting family heirlooms through the beauty of art.
I grew up in North Shore Chicago, Illinois. I moved to California to satisfy my endless sense of wanderlust & now settled in beautiful Reno, Nevada.
I am here to tell your story with nostalgia, grit and grace.

If you are seeking artful nostalgic documentary style imagery inspired by connection. I photograph your day as it naturally unfolds, focusing on real moments and creating timeless, artistic images. Rather than directing or staging, I prefer to observe and capture events as they happen. Building a personal connection with you and your wedding is key to bringing out my best work. My style is shaped by you, your story, and the energy we share. I strive to create memories, not just pretty pictures, by capturing both posed and candid moments in their truest form. It's those small, meaningful moments that will stay with you forever, and the value of your photographs will only grow with time. These images will be passed down through generations. The packages I offer can be customized to fit your vision, as I understand that every wedding is unique. That's what I love about weddings—their individuality and the way they’re extraordinary for each couple.

"Katherine was amazing! She coordinated with my finance and family for months planning the perfect Tahoe proposal followed by engagement photos. The entire session I felt so comfortable! We laughed, got a little misty, and took some amazing photos. Katherine helps pose you, knows the best areas to get beautiful backdrops, and is genuinely just a nice easy going person! I would 1000% times over use her for photos in the Reno-Tahoe area and anywhere she would be willing to photograph!"

Aura captured the wonders of our day. Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the.
