I'M KATIE — film photographer with a bfa → TURNED WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER → private PHOTO EDITOR → multi-passionate ENTREPRENEUR + educator + Blogger
As you know, running a successful photography business long-term requires more than just creativity; building a sustainable workflow is crucial to keep your passion and business alive without burning out. I've been there, struggling to do it all, and I've learned that sustainability is essential, not optional. It's hard to handle everything alone indefinitely — outsourcing tasks like photo editing with a bespoke private photo editor is essential to protect your energy and your business. When we work together, it's not just about growth; it's about keeping you healthy and inspired in this creatively demanding industry
"...pair that GOLD with her innate ability to see color, depth, and contrast and you have a relationship that is invaluable."

My Story
Photography has always been my first love — fresh out of college with a BFA in photography, I dove into wedding photography full time. My rapidly growing business led to burnout after a few years. I was a creative and photographer before entering the wedding industry, so at that point, I was creatively drained. I found myself again after closing my wedding photography business to offer photo editing services to fellow luxury, hybrid wedding photographers. During this time, I traveled full-time until we established our home base in Austin, Texas. Now, I've edited 1,000+ weddings for a small selection of 1:1 clients while simultaneously training and mentoring hundreds of aspiring photo editors.
My long-term photo editing clients have brought so much friendship and joy into my life — while changing their lives with outsourcing. I'm proud of grounding my services in something I love and believe in: sustainably supporting small creative businesses and sharing a love for timeless photography.
