Knowing The Person Behind The Lens Can Make All The Difference.

ABOUT KATLYN

I’M KATLYN—PHOTO NINJA, PROUD NERD, BOY MOM OF TWO—AND I BECAME A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THE IMPORTANCE OF DOCUMENTING A FAMILY’S HISTORY.

As a little kid, I loved going through big boxes of photos and albums in my mom’s closet. I was obsessed with examining the faces of people I’d never get the chance to meet. It was also fascinating to see earlier versions of the people I hugged good morning each day.

On the closet floor, surrounded by albums, I learned this important truth: a photograph is one of those rare things that gets more valuable with age.

A photo can bring you back to the important moments in your life, help you relive the feelings you had when those moments first happened, and offer a touchstone to connect to loved ones long gone.

During my senior year of high school, I decided I wanted to be a photographer after discovering the quiet magic that happens in a dark room. I went on to earn my BA in photography, honing the skills I now use to get gorgeous shots for my clients no matter the weather, lighting, or situation.

Since 2009, I've had the absolute pleasure of photographing hundreds of weddings, babies, and families.

My own family has grown in that time. I’ve experienced all of the milestones that I capture for my clients. In 2013, I married my husband Adam, who is my unofficial “nerd consultant,” and a wonderful, supportive partner who makes me laugh on the daily. I’ve also become a mom to two amazing boys—Hawk and Cillian–who have since prepared me for all of the chasing, chaos, and anything else that comes up during family shoots.

“Katlyn was truly a joy to work with and it was a relief for us from the very beginning, knowing that we had someone trustworthy and reliable to document our wedding.”

Michael & Vanessa

“She captured who we are so well. I could not have asked for a better photographer and I’m so glad that a friend recommended her to me! She is incredible and I hope to work with her in the future!”

“She worked so hard and truly captured exactly what we were hoping for – a mix of some posed group photos, but also the essence of our day as it unfolded with lots and lots of candids. The final product was even better than we could have imagined and we are forever grateful Katlyn was part of our story.”

Kelsey & Danny

When I’m not photographing clients, you’ll find me

hanging out with my kids!

I’m a mother to two boys- ages 6 and 3. They are wild, hilarious, and the best kids I could have ever asked for. They have a budding interest in photography, which makes me so happy!

hiking, traveling and taking photos

I love to travel, I love to hike, and I love photography, obviously. When I can combine these things, I am super happy!

cuddling up with a good book

I try to sneak in as much reading as possible. Some of my favorites from the last few years:

Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed, Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, Blindness by Jose Saramago, Photographs not taken: A collection of photographers’ essays
