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 and have been working my business for 5 years now. 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 Friday's & Saturdays only morning time or around sunset time. I photograph elopements & weddings any time and for elopements morning or sunset time during the week might work for me. Try to inquire at least 4 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 calendar 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!

We had a great experience with Katherine! She was very professional and responsive. She kept the communication going all the way up to the day of our photo shoot. She did a photo shoot for my husband’s and my 15th anniversary♥️. The pictures turned out amazing! She had forgotten the lanterns on her way to the photo shoot and she knew I really wanted pictures with the lanterns so she went out of her way and picked up 2 real lanterns at the local Ace hardware store! We had our pictures taken up at lake Gregory. And the pictures she took with the lanterns are my favorite! We wanted pictures with a giant cupcake, a champagne opening pictures, and photos of me holding a scarf blowing in the wind. She was very supportive and excited about taking those pictures! All of the pictures turned out amazing! Thank you Katherine for the exceptional job that you did for us! ♥️

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.

You won’t be disappointed with Katherine one but. Very professional, easy to communicate with, prompt on response time, and just a genuine joy to work with. For the price of 2 hours, what she was able to shoot was outstanding. I had a very particular type of vibe I was going for in my shoot, and she was able to get some incredible shots of me that complimented my look. Transferring of images after the shoot was quick and easy! Can’t recommend enough! ✨
