Get to know your photographer

Hi! I’m Kait!

And as simple as it sounds, I love taking photographs!

I learned the importance of photography’s role in capturing life’s key moments, demonstrated by an endless collection of photos my mother kept, and watching that collection grow with me and my family. The practice of capturing an exact moment turned into an art form for me. It wasn’t too long into college when I realized this wasn’t just a hobby, it is my dream job.

Now I have over a decade of experience in all types of photography, including weddings, maternity, newborns, senior portraiture, dance, food, and more. I’ve traveled internationally for dance conventions, and worked with restaurant chefs and sommelier’s to photograph their menu specialities. Regardless of where my job brings me, my real passion is in my local community and the relationships I build here at home. To many, I’m their ‘family photographer’, and the place that holds in my heart is a very important aspect of who I am. Nothing has been more gratifying than seeing my community’s families grow with me. I hope you and your family will trust me to help capture the most important moments in your life, and we can continue to grow together.

I hired Kayte for a homeschool “not back to school” photo shoot as well as family photo sessions for the families in my homeschool group. The first was 24 kids back to back. Kayte handled a situation that would be stressful for anyone like a total pro! She was amazing with the kids and every single family was happy with their shoot. I was in awe of her ability to truly capture each childs personality! The next was 11 back to back family shoots. We’re taking kids, dogs, grandmas, all coming and going in quick succession. Once again, the shots are all amazing! I am so thrilled with Kayte’s service, professionalism, photo quality, editing and quick turn around time. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion!

Kayte has been doing my family’s photography for years. She is thoughtful and sweet, she captures the most beautifully candid shots, and edits them to perfection. She’s flexible in scheduling and her pricing is fair. She gets the best smiles out of my little girl. Thank you Kayte!

Kait is so talented at what she does. She never gives anything less than 100%, and she does it with a smile on her face! 🙂 She’s incredibly caring and fun to be around too— which sweetens the deal.

She really makes you feel comfortable with yourself, when you don’t know how to be. Her way of capturing an image is so beautiful and unique, and then all of the sudden, you’re the picture that’s worth 1,000 words. Highly recommend.

Kayte was asked to take photos at my wedding for my wife and I. Being only 23/24 at the time - we had no idea what we wanted in “photos”. Kayte was able to bring out the best of the world around us. Even with low light situations at our Church, she was able to turn low light shots in to perfect memory’s. If I had to go back in time and ask Kayte to take our photos again, I would do it in a heartbeat!
Thanks Kayte. Nice job!
