Hi, I’m Katie

I am so thrilled you made your way here!

I am absolutely obsessed with documenting your gorgeous, growing families. I’m from a huge Irish family and have been lucky enough to be photographing other families since the day I landed in San Francisco 15 years ago. I love telling your stories through my photographs. I LOVE getting your kids to laugh. I tear up when I see our photos printed on your walls. I have been photographing the same families in San Francisco and Marin for more than 10 years.

Kind Words From you gorgeous people

"Katie, thank you so much! These pictures are even sweeter and more beautiful than I could have imagined!! You captured our family so perfectly, I cannot tell you how happy we are! We loved our experience working with you and cannot wait to do it again when Hannah is a little older!"

“Hi Katie,

Just dropping a note saying I am in love with these pictures of my boys every. Single. Day. You did such a fantastic job capturing them. Hoping to do this again in a year or so if. If you’d ever be up for a night away, I would happily, enthusiastically fly you out here to do a session with the Grandparents. You are so talented, and have a real gift for seeing families. Thank you ! “

“Katie did newborn shoots for both of our babies, and we now have beautiful photos to cherish that capture those early moments. We'd love to continue using her for any professional photo needs we have with our kids.

How incredibly lucky I feel to get to do what I do for a living ! I don’t take one second of it for granted. My goal is to get you in the picture. I want you to feel your galleries. I want you to adore what we create so much that you print, frame and hang them throughout your home.

I love sitting on the floor in your place chatting about your pregnancy, your birth, or your story in general! Be yourself and let me tell a visual story of all that I see

More Kind words

" Katie, Thank you so much for the amazing photos - they are stunning , I don’t know how you got all 5 looking and smiling at the same time! The pics of the kids are just priceless -and you managed to capture Owen's real/inner smile (which is very hard to do - he is very camera awkward).

Thanks again - you have a real talent and an eye for amazing backgrounds and placement. Grá Mór, "

"Katie is amazing to work with and I'm thrilled with her work. I will cherish the gorgeous photos of my 2 little boys forever and I can't wait to book her again for another family shoot. She quickly and calmly captured stunning images even though my 2 week old was crying and 2 year old was acting like a 2 year old!! She is truly gifted. I'm new to SF and THRILLED that I have found my new go-to photographer. "

This Is Me In My Element!

Other than hanging out with my family (when they are all on their best behaviors;), my other favorite thing to do in the world is to travel, snorkel, run with my dog and to photograph little people. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than making kids laugh and capturing their beautiful little, authentic selves. I promise my shoots will be fun, they will be straight down to business, no wasted moments and oodles of beautiful images to treasure, share and swoon over afterwards.
