Meet Katy - a Wedding, Family & Lifestyle photographer
I was born and raised here in Southern Missouri where I started my passion for photography 6 years ago now. I am married to a wonderful man named Zachary and blessed with a handsome little boy. I have several certifications (listed below). Outside of capturing memories for all the beautiful souls in the world, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, and going out on little, cheesy adventures. I enjoy the little things and believe that everyone is beautiful no matter what anyone else says.

My Why.
I get asked all the time why I chose Wedding, Family & Lifestyle Photography and the answer is partly selfish but nonetheless genuine. The main reason is to help people be themselves with my photography skills. I want to come in and empower people to be themselves and spend their session or Wedding Day doing things they love and that bring them joy. Being natural and true to yourself is biggest flex and beauty of all. People always want those Pinterest perfect-posed photographs and sometimes, our littles don't want to participate. THAT'S OKAY! Being able to capture your true personality during a session creates the truest and most beautiful memories. So....... Let's capture all of those beautiful candid's, those spontaneous moments that don't live up to other's expectations, you know why? Because you, your style and life are absolutely PERFECT just the way they are.
You carve your own path to happiness; I just capture it.
