Hi, I'm Katie!

MN BASED | AVAILABLE WHEREVER THE STORY TAKES US

I’m a creative at heart, drawn to good people, meaningful moments, beautiful places, and the stories behind the brands I work with. From photography and film to branding, marketing, and production, everything I create comes back to one thing: telling stories with intention and making something worth remembering.

Photography has been part of my life since 5th grade, evolving from a natural passion into both a deeply personal craft and a professional calling. Over the last 10 years, I’ve built hands-on experience across photography, video production, drone work, podcast production, event planning, and creative marketing — giving me a well-rounded approach that allows me to see both the artistry and the bigger picture behind every project. I’ve had the opportunity to grow alongside my family’s business, established in 1969, contributing both creatively and operationally while helping expand its digital presence. Along the way, I’ve also worked within corporate and startup spaces, helping build brands, shape marketing strategy, and create meaningful content across multiple industries.


After years of leading creative and marketing initiatives professionally, I’m now dedicating my focus full-time to what has always been at the center of it all: creating, connecting, and telling stories that mean something. My work is rooted in collaboration — your story, our vision, my lens. I blend creative direction with a documentary approach to create work that feels elevated yet effortless, refined yet deeply authentic. Whether I’m documenting a wedding, capturing a place from above, or helping a brand bring an idea to life, I want the end result to feel distinctly yours.


In 2022, a near-fatal car accident shifted my perspective on life and deepened my appreciation for how quickly moments can pass. It reinforced my belief that the people, places, and experiences that matter to us deserve to be celebrated while we’re living them — and remembered long after. That perspective shapes every project I take on. Whether it’s an intimate elopement, a wedding weekend, a family milestone, a destination, or a brand story, I approach every experience with intention, care, and attention to detail — creating work that feels meaningful in the moment and worth returning to for years to come.

My fiancé and I just had our engagement photos with Katie and it was an amazing experience! We have never gotten pictures taken together before, so we were unsure what to expect, but Katie made us feel very comfortable and walked us through everything! I really appreciated how she allowed us to share any ideas we had, while also having her own vision board to go off of to get pictures exactly how we wanted. The photos also came back very prompt and looked amazing! I can’t wait to use them for our Save the Dates!

Having Katie capture these moments of me, my boyfriend, and our baby girl was so special. These aren’t just pictures — they’re memories frozen in time. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole experience and perfectly captured our love, happiness, and all the little moments in between. I am absolutely obsessed with how they turned out and couldn’t be more grateful for these memories that we’ll cherish forever. Thank you, Katie, for these beautiful photos ❤️🫶✨

Katie was an absolute DREAM to have as a content creator on our wedding day. She captured so many of the little “in between” moments that were so special to us in addition to the bigger parts of the day. I think we’ve watched the video she put together about 15 times already since we got married less than 2 weeks ago 😊. Katie is so naturally talented in what she does- not just her videography/photography skills but also in her innate ability to interact and connect with everyone and go with the flow. We enthusiastically and confidently recommend Katie for content creation services & will be using her for all of our future special events ❤️. Thank you Katie!!!

Katie is a dream. She made the whole experience so much fun, she does a great job at easing any jitters and creating a vision. We did our engagement photos by a lake and she even hopped in the water for a few shots with us. She is professional, easy to work with, and talented. Overall, I am very impressed with her photography skills and the way she can make you feel comfortable in front of the camera! These are pictures that will last a lifetime and she absolutely knocked my expectations out of the park, each picture is crisp, and stunning and I’m so happy with how everything turned out! 100/10 will be recommending her to everyone for their photography needs!
