Hi! I'm Kati.
I'm so glad you're here.
I am your Minnesota-based portrait photographer and hype-woman extraordinaire.
I picked up a camera in 2014 to complete a high school field-experience credit. I learned the craft through my local college's marketing team - I was sent on assignment to capture sporting events, graduations, student achievements, and so much more. After hours, I would bring my friends into the studio (with permission!) or out into the beautiful wilderness of Upper Michigan to practice what I was truly passionate about - portraiture.
Back then, I was obsessed with learning absolutely everything I could about framing, lighting, color, stylization...basically anything I could do to bringing out a person's inner glow through still images. I have spent the last decade + honing my skills, learning new techniques, tweaking my style, and meeting so many incredible folks from all walks of life. Guess what? I'm still obsessed. This is my passion.
There is something so magical about capturing a moment in time, freezing a memory forever. People in love, kids growing older, families snuggling close...these moments will glow forever, and I'm here to preserve that glow for you and yours to look back on for generations.
Some Facts About Me
My pets are my pride and joy.
Otto the Doberman/Basset mutt, Martha the one-eyed wonder kitty, and Rosy the red-tail boa. They make life wonderful and hilarious every single day.
Lake Superior Has my heart.
I called the upper peninsula of Michigan home for the first 21 years of my life and will forever be called to the beauty of Mama Lake Superior. She is one of my favorite backdrops for photo sessions! I also dream of a mountainous life…maybe someday.
I'm a reader and a crafter.
In my free time you will most definitely find me reading - fantasy, contemporary, thrillers…anything really. I also love coloring, playing cozy video games, pressing flowers (that my sweet, amazing florist boyfriend brings home for me) and watching Taskmaster and Jeopardy.
I'm a Taco Tuesday Frequenter
You can find me and my boo at Nico's Taco Bar like…twice a week…honestly. The tacos are to die for and we just can’t stay away. Next time you have their rice and beans, you’ll thank me.
All Are Welcome Here
Everyone deserves a safe space to shine and feel beautiful. I am honored to capture any moment in your life regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, culture, religion, or ability.
I also understand how difficult it can be to treat yourself without breaking the bank. I offer alternative options to traditional packages to meet you (and your budget) where you're at.
