STUNNING PHOTOS
THAT FILL YOUR WALLS AND REMIND YOU OF LIFE’S SWEETEST SEASONS?
That’s my specialty.
I'm Katelyn
ARIZONA MATERNITY & NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER
I believe photography is about more than just hiring someone to take pictures. It’s about carefully crafting and capturing moments in a way that beautifully tells the story of your relationship, your baby, and your family.
When I pick up my camera, I strive to create simple and emotional images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. I LOVE color that will stand the test of time… posing that doesn’t feel stale or awkward… and photos that feel true to who you are.
My goal is document your pregnancy so you can remember the sweet season of baby kicks and tummy hiccups… the anticipation of waiting to meet your Little One. When your baby finally arrives, I want to capture every tiny detail so you’ll never forget the forehead wrinkles or the fuzzy hair… the sweet details that you’ll miss when you realize your baby suddenly isn’t a baby anymore.
I hope I’ll get to tell a piece of your story.
she was kind and so sweet with both our toddler daughter and our newborn son. we absolutely loved our experience and our photos!

I am married to my high school sweetheart, and we have two daughters named Emerson Jane and Luella Jo.
I married my high school sweetheart, John, in 2014. In 2020, we welcomed our first child, Emerson, to the world, and we welcomed our second, Luella, in 2022. When I’m not taking photos, I love visiting new coffee shops, cooking with John, reading, and hanging out at the zoo with Emmy and Lu.
I began capturing images when I was 16 years old, immediately fascinated by the ability to slow down time in an artistic and thoughtful way. After telling marriage stories for 7 years, I transitioned to telling the stories of husbands and wives becoming fathers and mothers after my first daughter was born. I’m so thankful for this amazing job and the amazing couples + families I work with!
If you’re new here, I invite you to read some of my personal blog posts about my journey to motherhood. After losing our first pregnancy, welcoming our rainbow baby to the world was bittersweet. Documenting the newborn period was an absolute must, and something I will never take for granted.
We all have our own unique journey to motherhood, but I believe each of those stories should be captured. And above all else, I never want a mama to take the newborn season for granted. It goes too quickly! So snuggle your baby, hold your baby, soak up all the cuddles… and hopefully I can take some photos of you while you do it. ♡
hold all the babies.

We couldn’t be more thrilled with our newborn photos from Katelyn! She was a true “baby whisperer” during the photo shoot and was able to capture so many precious moments that we will cherish forever! We can’t recommend her enough!

FUELING MY SOUL
family walks
When all the work is done and the sun is setting, it’s time to get outside! I absolutely love neighborhood walks as a family. There’s nothing better than being totally in the moment and getting some fresh air with the people I love.
arizona desert
I will forever love the soft, pastel tones of the Arizona desert. I have nothing against greenery, the desert just has my heart. Saguaros and mountains and coyotes and best of all… monsoons! One of my all time favorite things is to enjoy the summer storms… thunder and all.
chai tea lattes
Chai tea might just be the way to my heart. But seriously, nothing inspires me more than good music, coffee shop vibes, and the perfect mix of spicy & sweet blended with steamed oat milk. I like to call it “Christmas in a cup,” so naturally it’s the best beverage in my opinion.
