Hey, I’m Kate

I began photographing portraits and love stories in 2002, when I graduated from Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration. I wanted to bring the storytelling skills I developed for children’s books out of the art studio and share them with clients everywhere. I took what I learned about painting - and about photojournalism, where I got my start in photography - and created a lifestyle studio to serve new friends near and far.

I’m a photographer by way of illustrator, but I’m also a vocalist by way of Sondheim, and - these days - funeral Masses. I’m a mom to three devilishly smart and funny girls, one snorty pug, and fluffy kitties everywhere. Telling stories is my life, whether it’s with my camera, with my paintbrushes, with song on the stage, or to my sleepyheads at night. Let’s tell yours.

Real is beautiful.

I enjoy instilling a sense of drama and authenticity into my work. In other words - you won't see any stiff, posed photos from me. I'm far more interested in capturing the authentic experience of your life.

The moments between the moments... that's where the magic happens. 

Some of my most prized possessions are the photographs I have from my Nana's younger days. Beautiful and honest imagery becomes an heirloom, and I love nothing more than spending time with my clients in order to give them the same treasures that I hold dear.
