SAN DIEGO
ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
HERE TO REMIND YOU THAT LIFE IS MAGICAL
AND THAT LOVE SURROUNDS YOU - ALWAYS.
"Such an amazing experience! The photos turned out absolutely beautiful.
I’ve always been my biggest critic and I was shocked when I loved every single photo she sent back with the gallery. Every single photo she took tells a story and you can tell the genuine passion she has for photography.
And not to mention the amount of fun we had during the session. We laughed and we cried.
We had such a great experience and I will forever and always cherish the moments she captured for my husband and I."
- Blair T.
SPECIALIZING IN ADVENTURE ELOPEMENTS + COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHY
Because I believe your life
is a work of art...
I FOCUS ON CAPTURING THE FEELINGS YOU’LL WANT TO REMEMBER AND CHERISH FOREVER.
WE’LL CREATE IMAGES YOU’LL BE DYING TO HANG IN YOUR HOME AND LOOK
AT EVERY DAY WHILE HAVING AN ABSOLUTE BLAST TOGETHER!
I OFFER A FUN-FILLED, PROMPTED APPROACH TO CREATE IMAGES THAT’LL MAKE YOUR JAW DROP (OR SO I’VE HEARD!).
[ Based in Southern California. But always up for a traveling adventure. ]
DOWN-TO-EARTH PHOTOGRAPHER FOCUSED ON THE MAGIC OF LIFE
WHO'S BEHIND THE CAMERA?
I’m Katie! As a mother (and self-proclaimed memory hoarder), I cherish having beautiful images to look back at. To remember how big my son’s smile is (even on our toughest days) and to see the love, laughter, and appreciation for life that’s ever so present in my household.
My sessions aren’t focused around perfect smiles or posed, traditional portraits. My goal is to capture you in your essence by becoming your new #1 hype girl (you should see my son impersonate me during a photo session). You’ll forget the camera’s even there, or better yet – become OBSESSED with showing off your new smolder.
When I’m not chasing someone around with my camera, I’m usually found cuddling my babies, exploring outdoors, or practicing yoga and meditation. I love reading about all things Spirituality and Self-Help and constantly work hard to become the absolute best version of myself possible.
DOCUMENTING YOUR UNIQUE WEDDING EXPERIENCE THROUGH INTENTIONAL STORYTELLING
Let's tell your story - the way you hope to remember it.
From day to day, the warmth and happiness we feel for each other can be forgotten in the chaos – even though it’s always there.
I hope to remind you of how magical life truly is by bringing out the best moments and creating a fun experience for everyone involved.
We'll laugh together (maybe even cry) and have a good time all-around, while capturing images you'll love looking back at for years to come.
SERVING SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA + BEYOND
I'm a military wife and mama whose passion lies in capturing outdoor elopements and couples that:
- want to have a non-judgmental good time
- love being surrounded by amazing scenery
- laugh at themselves
- and just want to look back on their lives knowing they lived it well!
I love bringing out the best in the people I meet, and watching them light up.
Dreaming of Eloping in San Diego?
GET YOUR HANDS ON MY ELOPEMENT FREEBIE!
If you’re planning to elope, San Diego should most definitely be on your list of locations! Not only does this part of Southern California have the best weather (hello sunny and 75), but you can truly find almost any type of scenery you’re looking for (including changing leaves in the Fall and snow in the Winter!). In this Free PDF, I give you all my tips + tricks and local knowledge of the best locations to elope in San Diego, California.
"Not only is her work absolutely stunning, she has the most amazing personality and made our photoshoot so much fun! We laughed, joked around, and smiled the entire time!! Katie is very talented at what she does and she is SUPER helpful in posing you and making you feel 100% comfortable in your own skin." - Lexy D.
Believe it or not, it took a LONG time for me to understand unconditional love - and I’m still practicing it for myself.
I’ve been sick the last few days, and allowing myself this time to rest and just BE, has been difficult. I still sometimes define my worthiness by my actions. How much I do for those around me, instead of what I do for myself. 😵💫
And on top of that, these 3 kids are no angels at home 😂 so again, team family travel over here. So while I soak in the cuddles and quiet moments at home, I’m just waiting for my energy to pick back up again so we can explore. 🥰
Next week, we head on our latest adventure to Joshua Tree! I’ll be sharing our explorations and view of the Milky Way in my stories. 🤗
Let me know in the comments, which do you prefer - cuddle quiet time at home, or adventures out and about with your kids? If mine are getting along, it’s a close tie for me! 😂

Here’s how I know you can completely recreate yourself, your inner world, and your life… I’ve freaking done it. ✨
These are a few of my personal tips that have been really resonating with me lately. Throughout my healing journey when doubt pops up I make sure to remind myself of similar situations from the past, and turn to my holistic healing toolbox. Swipe through to see a few of my favorites, especially the last two!

As I took back my Power things began to change all around me. 🙌🏼
I cried tears of joy, not sorrow. I met the man of my dreams, who later adopted my son. Left my dead-end job and followed my dreams. Moved into multiple homes I never dreamed of living in + saw magic and mini miracles happen all around me.
Life became easier, simpler, free-flowing. I didn’t have to try so hard to get what I wanted.
When we look at the root of our issues, and decide no more - the Universe shifts. We affirm “this is not how my life will be”. And so, a new life begins to form right before our eyes.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck, depressed, unhappy with my life and myself. I also now know what it’s like to feel so blissful, blessed, and loved by the Universe and the people around me. We can go from one extreme to the other - in time.
And believe me if I can do it, so can you.
Have power in your virtual pocket with the 100 Holistic healing tools FREEBIE - link to download is in my bio. 🤗

Did you know that the MILITARY now offers reiki to their Special Forces, and promotes its positive effects on both physical and emotional well-being?
I swear I wouldn’t be who I am today without this energy work and it makes me so very happy to see reiki becoming more + more normalized in today’s society.
You guys, it’s even on WebMd! 🤗 And my kids (and husband) ask for reiki constantly.
Enhanced sleep, elevated mood, alleviation of pain, facilitating the body's ability to relax, potentially promoting more effective healing from the detrimental effects of stress, injuries, or illnesses - Reiki is POWERFUL.
Swipe to understand a little more about what reiki healing is and how this type of alternative medicine can benefit you on your personal healing journey. 🙌🏼
And if you want to understand reiki therapy even more, head to my newest blog where I dive deep into this form of alternative medicine.
If you need help navigating your space of healing, health, and creating the life of your dreams please reach out. I’m an open book! Have questions? Let me know below.

Life + motherhood recently ✌🏼 Every month I like to take a moment to reflect! Here are some of my favorite moments and what I've learned. 🥰
1. Living life like you’re on vacation is my new favorite self-care hack.
2. The golden sand in Coronado reminds me how magical this Earth truly is. ✨
3. The memories I’m making with my kids may not stick, but the feelings will.
4. When you remove your kids from the situation + have a date night all to yourself, you remember how much you actually like each other. 😂
5. Forcing your kids out of their comfort zone is important at times. Our son LOVED his week-long Summer camp!
Remember there is no right place for you to be mama! And I'm here to help you feel your best. This month I did my first IG Live with @divinegracebuszka , launched a Freebie of 100 holistic healing tools I had been gathering for years, and connected with so many of you on your own transformation journey.
Next month, I have even more in store for you guys! Including an IG live with @mindbloom all about my ketamine therapy journey. It will be on Friday August 4th at 9 am PST. I hope to see you there! 🤗

To be honest with you, I used to have no idea how to cohesively decorate a home. Until 2020 when it all clicked. So if you’re in the same boat, there’s hope!
Follow a few of the interior decorating rules I shared in my Home blog + I promise you’ll feel like a pro in no time.
Now for the answers to your questions about my Southern California boho home: 🤗
1. @walkeredisonco @article + Target. You can find almost everything linked to my @ltk.home
2. Yes! We live on a mountain in a town called Jamul that’s on the outskirts of San Diego. So we have an acre of land!
3. I have bins + distinct places where everything goes! My family knows to put things back as best they can when it’s time to clean up.
4. Magic erasers!
5. We’re renting this home for 3 years + then will see where the Universe brings us next.
