About your Lifestyle Family

& Newborn Photographer

Hi, I’m Kate – a storyteller capturing candid

moments in the journey of parenthood.

Growing up in Troy, Michigan, I loved watching my mom sit with her friends over a cup of coffee, sharing stories, laughter, and connection. I’d eagerly sit nearby, hoping to chime in, soaking up the warmth and intimacy of those moments.

That’s the kind of feeling I aim to bring to every session – like catching up with an old friend. It’s not about perfect poses or stiff smiles; it’s about creating a space where you feel comfortable, valued, and seen.

What to Expect

When we work together, it’s a relaxed, easygoing experience. We’ll laugh, chat, and let the moments unfold naturally. I’ll guide you gently when needed, but the real magic happens in those in-between moments – the quiet snuggles, the belly laughs, and the playful chaos that make your family you.

My sessions aren’t just about beautiful photos – they’re about capturing the connection, humor, and love that define your story. Like those coffee conversations I treasured as a kid, they’re built on warmth, trust, and shared moments that feel real.

A Safe Space for Every Family

Inclusivity and community are at the heart of everything I do. As a mom to neuro-spicy kids, I understand firsthand that every family’s story is beautifully unique, with its own rhythms, quirks, and magic. I’m here to celebrate your story – however it looks – in a space that feels warm, welcoming, and completely you.

Whether your family is full of energy, big emotions, or quiet moments, my goal is to create a safe, relaxed environment where everyone feels seen, valued, and free to be themselves.

If you’re ready to embrace the messy, wonderful magic of the everyday, let’s create something unforgettable together – moments that reflect the love and connection that make your family one-of-a-kind.
