Meet Kate

Based in Bedford, VA
Portrait of a smiling woman with dark hair and glasses wearing a dark green mock neck sweater against a dark background.

Kate and her husband have four young munchkins who delight in making funny faces when the big camera is out. She began to study photography when her oldest was born 10 years ago and fell in love with portrait photography as a way to capture the feeling of a passing moment or sum up a season of life in a single image.

Kate has experience as a professional musician, a public school teacher, an expat in both East Africa and SE Asia, and a lover of all things baked. She delights in the in-between moments and details. She has yet to meet a person she didn't want to photograph, but is generally able to refrain from pestering for photos.
