TACO OBSESSED, ENNEAGRAM 8, yogi, personal development junkie
Hey, I’m Kat! I’m a maternity and lifestyle photographer based in Austin Texas. For over 16 years, I’ve had the honor of capturing people through life’s most meaningful seasons. My work has been featured in Vanity Fair, GQ, People, and more, and trusted by celebrities, global brands, and hundreds of families who want photos that feel both timeless and alive.
But beyond the accolades, here’s what matters most: supporing women to feel radiant, confident, and deeply connected in front of the camera—especially in the sacred season of motherhood.
Whether we’re shooting a maternity session in the heart of Austin, capturing a glowing mama-to-be at McKinney Falls, or creating natural portraits in the golden evening light, I’m here to photograph not just what you look like, but the joy, intimacy, and strength of who you are.

Kat is a true professional, wonderful to work with, and extremely talented.
What better way to relive the most magical moments of our lives than with the timeless photos that captured our wedding day. Kat made the memories of our day extraordinary, and we can’t thank her enough. Thank you Kat!
from: don + eddie
We had a blast working with Kat and have been crying tears of joy every time we look through the gallery.
Once again, a HUGE thank you to Kat for the wonderful job she and her team did to capture our special day. We will be printing, framing, and photo album-ing (not a word but you know) many of these pieces of art she's created!!!

Kat's pictures bring to life our wedding day so that it can be relived, full of joy.
Kat perfectly captured the memory of our wedding with a feel of timeless elegance. From the intimate moments to the overall spirit of celebration.
It's time you finally did that thing you've always wanted to do.
Pregnancy is fleeting. One day you’ll look back and hardly remember what it felt like to carry this little life inside you. Maternity photography gives you timeless images of this once-in-a-lifetime season—so you and your child can treasure them forever.
Most mamas worry they’ll feel awkward in front of the camera. That’s where I come in. With 16+ years of full-time experience, I’ll guide you with posing, natural movement, laughter, and connection—so your photos feel effortless, confident, and so you.
My vibe is what I call The Classic In-Between. It’s timeless + playful portraits with a hint of editorial polish, mixed with candid, fly-on-the-wall moments that’ll make you say, “That’s so me!”
Not stiff or over-posed.
Not hyper-trendy filters that will feel dated in a few years.
Just timeless, classic wedding + engagement photography in Austin + NYC that stands the test of time.

your love story
is powerful.
Before you know it, this chapter will be a memory. Let’s capture it beautifully—so you can look back and remember exactly how extraordinary it was.
"We recently hired Kat to shoot our wedding and photos the day before.
We chatted before to speak about my vision, which wasn’t typical. To say she knocked it out of the park would be an understatement. Not only am I obsessed with the moments she captured and created but everyone who sees them is too. I keep getting texts from family and friends telling me how amazing the photos are. It’s the best feeling when you trust your photographer and they deliver beyond what you could expect. Thank you Kat!!
