Hi! I'm Katy. thanks for stopping by!

I’m a freelance photographer and cinematographer with over a decade of experience telling stories through visuals. Whether it’s capturing vibrant events, working on set, or producing polished commercial content, I’m all about creating images that connect and leave a lasting impression.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with major brands, luxury hotels, national franchises, and lifestyle publications, bringing each project to life with a unique creative edge. From RED Cinema to Nikon and Canon gear, I use top-of-the-line equipment and edit with industry-standard tools like DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Lightroom, and Photoshop.

Whether we’re in the studio or on location, my goal is simple—create impactful, beautiful visuals that speak to your audience.
