Katie is a native Oregonian, and was raised in the tiny town of Elkton. As a child, she loved exploration and discovery. This included digging up discarded objects in the woods in an old area that had been used as a dump.  She thought she might become an archaeologist one day, but science not being her strong suit, discovered a love for photography instead. Though the two pursuits may sound dissimilar, photography still finds her out in the woods exploring and searching for treasure in the form of nature scenes, light, and lines. It provides the same sense of excitement and discovery, with no digging required.

Photography became her passion back then, and remains so today. Katie’s images focus on serenity, emotion, and connection to nature. Her fine art photography business began in 2010 and is based in Cottage Grove, Oregon. 

“For me, photography is meditative. 
It is a way to get quiet, observe, soak in beauty, and capture it.”
