About 

Hello I’m katie!

As a Pittsburgh wedding photographer and senior portrait artist with over 11 years of experience, I specialize in creating natural, timeless images that make you do a double-take and say, "Is that really us?" (Spoiler: it absolutely is!)

Your Wedding Day Partner

Think of me as your wedding photography expert and timeline guru rolled into one. With hundreds of Pittsburgh weddings under my belt, I've mastered the art of keeping your special day flowing smoothly while capturing every precious moment. Fun fact: I've never made a couple late to their reception – not once in 11 years!

My couples often tell me I'm their "calm in the chaos" on wedding days. Whether it's an unexpected downpour or a last-minute wardrobe emergency, I come prepared with solutions (and yes, a trunk full of umbrellas!). Your wedding photos will showcase the true colors and details you've carefully chosen, with editing that stands the test of time – because nobody wants their wedding album to look dated in five years.

Senior Portraits That Tell Your Story

High school seniors, this is your moment to shine! I bring the same attention to detail and creative energy to your senior portrait session that I do to wedding days. Together, we'll create images that capture your personality and achievements while having an absolute blast in the process.

Behind the Camera

When I'm not photographing weddings or seniors around Pittsburgh, you'll find me:

  • Tackling DIY projects in my 100-year-old home (power tools are my friends!)

  • Chasing after my energetic toddler (the best training for handling any photo session surprise)

  • Planning new adventures or unwinding at Lincoln Ave Brewery, probably with paint in my hair

My Promise to You

Whether it's your wedding day or senior portrait session, I'm committed to going above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience. You'll get stunning, authentic photos that tell your unique story, plus a photographer who brings the perfect blend of professionalism and fun to every session.

My story

I wasn’t always a photographer, but I always knew I wanted to connect with people through art.

Everyone's path to becoming a wedding photographer is unique, and mine started in an unexpected place – a psychology classroom. While studying human behavior and emotions, I discovered my true calling at a friend's wedding. Surrounded by genuine laughter, happy tears, and an legendary Pittsburgh cookie table, I realized I was meant to document these precious moments. After all, what could be better than working with people on the happiest day of their lives?

My creative journey started long before I picked up a camera. From musical instruments to paint brushes, I explored every artistic avenue I could find. But photography? That spark ignited during my final year of college when my parents (and my dad's cameras) moved away. In what might be the most productive act of rebellion ever, I invested in my first camera – and something just clicked.

Turns out, my psychology background wasn't just a detour – it became my superpower as a wedding photographer. Reading emotions, anticipating special moments, and knowing exactly when someone needs a break or a boost of energy – these skills help me capture authentic moments throughout your wedding day.

Today, I'm known as Pittsburgh's "Happiest Wedding Photographer" – a title I wear with pride! I live for:

  • Documenting genuine love stories

  • Capturing every detail of your carefully curated wedding

  • Those spontaneous dance-offs that make receptions unforgettable

  • The quiet, emotional moments between the big events

  • Delivering unlimited photos that tell your complete wedding story
