About

A little about me...

  I thought I had arrived when my grandmother presented me and my little brother with Kodak Pocket Instamatic cameras one Christmas (came with film in a cartridge).  I took it everywhere and instantly fell in love. Fast forward a few years, and I found a 35mm camera that was left at our house.  That was the next faze, as well as learning to shoot with a Hasselblad that my Dad had bought off a friend who needed money.

  I was awarded a full ride scholarship for fine art out of high school.  After graduating from college, I moved to Sun Valley Idaho to ski and figure out where I was headed next.  I ended up landing a job with the internationally renowned photographer, David Stoecklein, as well as worked on many photo shoots that came through our beautiful ski mountain resort. 

  Eventually, a co-worker at Stoecklein's and I, branched out and started a stock photo agency. We both shot stock photos as well as represented 50 photographers from around the country.  After 7 years, we sold it, and I moved with the agency to Southern California. It's there, that I met my husband, got married, and started a family.

 I have a commercial photography business, as well as I shoot family photography, and fine art.  The family photography has enabled me to stay local, and be present for my very fast growing kids (they'll be gone before I know it!).  I have some wonderful companys with my commercial work, and lastly, my fine art photography has always been a joy to do. 

  Please contact us if you are interested in my work.

Cheers! Kate
