Behind the Lens with Me—Your Personal Hype Girl & Creative Ride-or-Die
So, you’re planning something magical. Whether it’s a wild desert elopement, a just-for-fun couple’s session, or the dreamy “we’re finally engaged!” shoot—you deserve more than just a photographer. You deserve a personal cheerleader, an organized pro, a desert trail guide, and a friend who genuinely cares.
Hi. 👋 I’m Kate—and I’m all of the above.
(Plus, I’ll probably have snacks and a backup hair tie.)
Let me walk you through exactly what it’s like to work with me—because this isn’t just about photos. It’s about an experience that makes you feel confident, celebrated, and cared for from start to finish.
📨 Step One: The Inquiry – AKA the Start of Something Really Good
The second your inquiry hits my inbox, I happy dance. Truly. I might even send you a voice memo if I’m really excited (and I usually am).
You’ll get a warm, timely reply with all the info you need—session types, pricing, location ideas, and how the process works. But more than that, you’ll get someone who’s immediately invested in making your vision come to life.
From that very first email, I want you to know: I’m here for you. Whether you’ve been planning this for months or you’re winging it last-minute, I’ve got your back.
☕ Step Two: Let’s Chat – Planning With Purpose (and Personality)
Think of this as our “first date”—minus the awkwardness and plus a whole lot of giddy planning energy. We’ll talk through:
Your story (how you met, what you love doing together, your favorite snacks—seriously)
Your vision (epic views? cozy vibes? barefoot on a canyon ledge?)
What to wear, where to go, and what time of day gives that chef’s kiss light
I’ll help with permits, location scouting, outfit coordination, and a million little details so you don’t have to stress. You’ll leave this part feeling excited, supported, and maybe even a little bit obsessed with the plan we dream up together.
✨And yes, I’ll 100% hype you up every step of the way.✨
I’m your go-to gal for “does this outfit work?” texts, last-minute location switches, and pep talks if the nerves hit.
📸 Step Three: Shoot Day – The Good Stuff
Whether we’re meeting at sunrise under Sand Dune Arch, climbing into a Jeep for an adventure elopement, or laughing our way down Main Street, this is where the magic happens.
And here’s the thing: you don’t have to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. I’ll guide you through natural prompts, help you feel like your best self, and capture all the real stuff—the way you look at each other, the wind in your hair, the joy in your eyes.
Expect:
Plenty of movement and laughter
Sweet, quiet moments too
A chill, stress-free vibe
Me yelling “YESSSS!!” like a proud mom behind the camera (because I mean it)
I’ll fix your dress, adjust your hair, remind you to breathe, and cheer you on the whole time. You are the moment, and I’m here to make sure you feel it.
💌 Step Four: Sneak Peeks, Edits & That “OMG” Moment
Within a few days, you’ll get sneak peeks that will make your heart do cartwheels. I want you to see those first images and say, “Wow… that’s really us.”
Then comes your full gallery—edited with intention, emotion, and so much love. You’ll receive every image as a little time capsule: full of joy, movement, light, and the connection that makes your story yours.
These aren’t just pretty photos. These are memories you’ll feel.
🧡 Step Five: The Afterglow (and a Little Bit of Me Still Cheering You On)
Just because the gallery is delivered doesn’t mean I vanish. I’ll help you pick prints, albums, or just send a lil follow-up to remind you how much I loved working with you.
This whole process? It’s not just about “getting the shot.” It’s about showing up for you in ways that matter. I’m your person. Your guide. Your hype girl.
You’re not just a client. You’re someone I’ve rooted for since the first message hit my inbox. And if you cry happy tears looking at your photos, just know—I probably did too.
What You Really Get When You Book Me:
✨ A photographer who’s all in on your story
✨ An organized planner who’s done this a million times—but treats you like a one-of-a-kind
✨ A calming presence (with the occasional “LET’S GOOO” energy burst)
✨ And most importantly? A friend who wants to see you absolutely thriving
