The Artist
more about KATIE
For as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed being a witness to joy, play, wonder, and discovery. I feel that most of my life has been spent in a daydream — perhaps in search of sharing these dreams with others, and with those I haven’t met yet.
I describe myself as intellectually curious and someone who finds inspiration through connecting with others. My ideal time is spent immersing myself in the lives and stories of people — likely in an attempt to find peace in the chaos.
When my angel boy came Earth side, I was a changed person. I sat and watched him for hours and days, and took about a trillion photos of his ever-changing face, fingers and toes!
“She instantly makes you feel comfortable and transports you to this place where you feel confident, empowered, beautiful, and free. She captures your story perfectly.”
-J. Walsh
As many people have asked me when I found this art — maybe it was during those times that mothering became my whole existence and I feared I would somehow miss something. I realize now that working with women has brought me to a very whole place within my journey. It’s one of the greatest gifts of my photography story.
Every time I have the pleasure of witnessing the change process of another human, absolute magic takes place. I cannot explain how, but I relish its beauty.
The METHOD
As a young woman, I found myself face-to-face with the challenges that come with self-doubt, pressures, and insecurities — all of which plague many of us. So when the opportunity to unveil an exquisite woman’s divinity to herself arose, I knew that my calling was to hold space for her while working to uncover her strengths. Success for me is when I can inspire surety and confidence in another woman.
To say this process is so much more than a photo being taken would be an understatement. This work is truly a magical experience — one filled with nurture, truth, and empowerment. Knowing that the moments we create and capture together will be looked at for years to come with fondness brings me deep gratification.
