Hello, I'm Kathie
Arizona Photographer
A photographer, storyteller and memory keeper based in beautiful Arizona where I've lived for the past 20 years.
My love for photography started long before I ever considered it a career. It began with film, wandering the beaches and backroads of Hawaii with my husband, capturing moments just for the joy of it. We'd spend hours shooting everything that caught our eye, then excitedly wait for our prints to come to life in the film lab. Those days are some of my most treasured memories.
After losing my husband, photography took on an even deeper meaning. I found myself clinging to every photo I had of him, those images became more than memories, they became tangible proof of a beautiful life we shared. That's when I knew I wanted to help others preserve their own precious moments.
Now through my lens, I seek to capture connection, emotion and the beauty of everyday, whether it's growing a baby bump, a senior preparing to launch into the world or two people promising forever.
Because I know firsthand: one day, these pictures will mean everything.
My approach
I believe the best photos happen when people feel seen, relaxed, and real. I bring a calm, compassionate energy to every session, whether you're camera-shy, giggling with your kids, or soaking up the glow of a sunset with someone you love.
Before I ever lift the camera, I want to hear your story. I want to know what makes you light up, what season of life you’re in, and who or what you never want to forget. From there, we’ll create a session that feels like you, natural, connected, and meaningful.
This isn’t about stiff poses or perfect smiles. It’s about the in-between moments. The ones that feel like home.
