Hi, I’m Katie!

I am a wife to my loving and supportive husband of 9+ years and a Mom to two beautiful little girls, who fill my heart with so much love and joy than I could ever imagine. I am a wedding and lifestyle family photographer servicing Victoria, Cowichan Valley & beyond in British Columbia. I try and live a simple life on beautiful Vancouver Island full of my favourite people and favourite things; hiking, crafting & baking with my girl’s, and exploring the beauty of the island with my family that we are so blessed to live on.

I have a background in graphic design and had been working a design job since 2008 where I would work during the week and then literally every weekend photograph weddings or photo sessions to build my photography business. Throughout that time I ended up being published in local and national magazines like Weddingbells, as well as many online publications. Fast forward to 2017, I gave birth to my first daughter and my priorities shifted. I knew once I became a Mom I would not want to return to that work lifestyle and try to balance two jobs and motherhood. So in 2018 after my mat leave ended, I decided I was not returning to work and continued working for myself as a photographer while raising my babies at home.

I have 15 years experience as a wedding and lifestyle photographer and I knew when I was 12 years old that I wanted to be a photographer. Not many people can say that, but I was very determined to make it happen! My love for photography has been with me through some wonderful and most devastating moments; I am not even sure where I would be without it. My Dad passed away when I was 18 years old, the photos I have of him mean the absolute world to me. I think it’s part of the reason why I do what I do because life isn't always perfect, we have amazing moments and some not so amazing moments, but I want to capture the moments that are amazing for you so you can look back and remember your life...your story!

If you are looking for someone who really understands the meaning behind capturing your most cherished moments, I am your girl! I'm also pretty sweet, funny and a great friend to have... or so I've been told! I want you to look back on your photos and cry tears of joy, laugh and smile knowing that you got to have those moments with the people that matter most to you. If this sounds like the perfect match to you, then please send me an email, I would absolutely love to chat!

My husband and I recently got married on September 23, 2018. We were the last-minute couple who decided to plan a wedding in less than two months. I had known Katie’s work for years and always knew I wanted her to shoot our big day. Katie had a wedding to shoot the day before our wedding and with a young daughter I was afraid she wouldn’t be able to shoot our day but she made sure she was available and I am so grateful for that. I felt so comfortable with Katie, she honestly felt like a friend I have known for years. I would highly recommend her work to anyone I know. She is absolutely the best!
