About Me

Whether we’re capturing new branding portraits or filming reels for your business, I promise you this: you’ll be in safe, skilled hands—and we’ll create visuals that feel honest, beautiful, and uniquely you.

If you’ve ever said, “I hate having my photo taken, I see you—because I’ve worked with hundreds of women like you. And I know how powerful it is to finally feel comfortable in front of the camera and walk away with images you love.

I’m not just here to snap a photo. I’m here to guide you—to gently coach and support you so you feel relaxed, confident, and like yourself (on your best day). Whether you’re building a business, launching a brand, or simply ready to step into a new chapter, I create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—and still look impressive.

I bring over 20 years of experience, a background in fashion and editorial photography, and a calm, intuitive approach that helps even the most camera-shy women open up. From London to New York and now Sydney, I’ve photographed everyone from Grammy-nominated musicians to CEOs and everyday women doing extraordinary things. But no shoot has meant more to me than helping women like you feel proud of their online presence.

“Oh, wooooow, Katie!!!

These are STUNNING!!!

How will I ever choose which ones I want?

They are all fantastic! You are so, so clever! You’ve captured everyone beautifully, and the lighting is just perfect! The background is stunning; They are so natural yet fun. I love them all so much! I can’t thank you enough for your time and effort, but I'm incredibly grateful for your talent!

Thanks again!”
