Storytelling is what I do best

get to know me

Documenting the moments in between

Hi friend! I'm Katy! I'm a full service photographer out of Manhattan, KS. I am a homeschool mama to seven kids. I guess you could say I'm a chaos coordinator. I'm a veteran and military spouse so I understand the difficulties that surround military life and having a family. My passion is about helping other moms feel self confident and truly seen. I want to showcase the beauty in your motherhood..

Let's just say photos have a special place in my heart. In August 2019, I had the most beautiful healing homebirth of my son, Logan. I paid the absolute best of the best photographer to be with me because I knew that this was a moment I would never want to lose. I got caught up in the haze of having a newborn and then we PCSed and then life got busy because motherhood is busy. I never printed out those pictures or made the album that I had intended to make. 
One day while I was at a photo shoot, and my kids were home with a sitter, one of my kids spilled Kool-Aid on my laptop. It fried my laptop and everything on it. The hard drive that was attached also got wet and I lost everything… to include those pictures of the home-birth. Thankfully, I have those pictures on my personal Facebook page. However, Facebook compresses images so badly that I will never get to print them out. If Facebook goes under or I lose my Facebook, I will lose those pictures forever. Over time, as all digital images do, they will lose quality, pixelate and will barely be viewable. I wish like crazy I had printed them.

This is why I value prints.
Over the last few years, I've had big celebrations and I've had losses. When I lost my brother, those pictures my mom had printed from when we were kids were instantly able to take me back to a time when he was still with me. 
I am passionate about turning your moments into memories that you can hold in your hand and keep forever. 

My story is like yours

So what is an emotive storyteller exactly?

I listen to you when we talk about what you need. I hear you when you talk about your family. I curate adventures that tell your story and capture the emotion of the season you're in. 

We will, laugh, play, snuggle and dream together to create real memories.
