About
(Please serious inquiries only or please message me on instagram if shopping around. I pay for all the messages I receive on here!) Hello there! I am a very social, artistic & adventurous person, and I love photographing others. I focus on individual, maternity, couples, families, engagements and wedding/elopement portraits. I capture candid moments in between of posed moments but most importantly capturing your beauty & emotions that you feel during our time together. I take what I do as an art, finding ways to be creative, get different angles & capture you in the setting as best as I can. My edits are slightly warm with high contrast and sharpness, true tone and true to color and I remove unwanted background distractions, smoothen the skin, and remove blemishes. For outdoors sessions I am available WEEKENDS only around sunset time. I photograph only between 2 hours before sunset till twilight hour (after sunset). Try to inquire at least 2 weeks in advance for the best availability (especially for weekends). However I may be able to book last minute sessions as I do leave every other weekend on my calender available. I know of many beautiful places in California, I go to beaches, the snow, lakes, mountains, deserts, sand dunes, National parks & cities. I do not have a studio but studio sessions can be booked at any studio for rent in Riverside or Los Angeles area but I can also travel to homes for in home sessions. These sessions can take place in the morning till noon. You are responsible for paying the rental fees. I serve Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Orange County, San diego County & LA county but can travel anywhere in California and out of state/out of the country. I have traveled to Europe 3 times in my life & know of lots of beautiful places that I would love to photograph lovely people at especially In Ireland, Spain, France, Italy, & Switzerland. Thank you for considering me to be your photographer, God bless you!

Katherine was professional, friendly and knowledgable. Not only did she drive to Joshua Tree, she made me feel very comfortable and excited to do my photoshoot. Katherine took time and care coaching me through poses and the editing on my photos was superb. I would highly recommend Katherine for any photography needs.

Katherine was very professional and responded very quickly to any questions and messages sent to her. She was early to our appointment. Her work quality is amazing. Family and friends loved so many of the pictures she took and she was punctual on the time frame she gave us on returning the pictures. I definitely recommend her and looking forward to hiring her again.
