PORTRAITS

Natural, unscripted moments preserved with art and intention.

Remember everything without missing anything.

The most beautiful moments are found and felt. The photographs you cherish are the same. Intuition and empathy merge with a careful eye for detail to ensure that your photos encapsulate the party and never pull you away from it.

Kate is pure magic. Her skill as a photographer is only surpassed by her kindness and the joy that she is to be around.
