Hi there! I'm Katie. A few years ago, my life drastically changed. It was the moment I needed to try out the whole "living boldly and without shame" idea I had heard so much about. I cut my hair, found Jesus, stopped apologizing for myself, packed what I could into my car, said my heartfelt "see ya laters," and I left my West Virginia home to live in Orlando, FL.
I was facing a 13 hour drive (half of which was full of uncontrollable sobbing and doubt). No job. No place to live. No idea what it was I was looking for. $2,500 in my pocket. Somewhere along the way the tears and doubt became less and less. I found a version of myself I never knew existed and found friends that quickly became family. Living a shamelessly bold and fearless life was becoming easier by the day. My story was awakening.

I have spent the last few years blessed to work as a photographer for Disney's Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios parks, and lead the Disney's Magic Kingdom park PhotoPass team. I've had the opportunity to capture images of love and others on the journey to embracing life and finding their confidence. My work has been featured in multiple national and internationally published magazines and websites.
Today, I am working as a Mentor/Expert Photography Coach for an online photography education company; plus, I am living my lifelong dream of creating telling the stories of the amazing people encountered on my journey to living an adventurous, fully, happy, and brazen life.
I am a wedding, portrait, and conceptual photographer living and loving in Raleigh, North Carolina. I couldn't be more appreciative of all the amazing moments I've experienced over the last few years.
My story has come alive. So tell me, what's your hair-cutting-shamelessly-bold-life-changing journey?
