Get to know the photographer
Wedding, Newborn/Birth, Family & Lifestyle Photographer
located in Effingham, IL
Hi there! My names Katelann, or Kate, Mom, My Wife, Mrs.Potatohead, that photographer - depending on who you ask. I'm glad you're here :)
I guess you're on this page now to read a bit about me? Here it goes....
For starters, I'm 29, a mom of 2, a wife, and my two loves besides my family are Jesus and photography.
It's more than just taking pictures for me. It's freezing time in a photo to reflect on when you're feeling nostalgic or having a rough day.. helping someone feel better about themselves through my lens.. seeing themselves how others see them. What a gift it is to be able to provide that for people.
I love capturing beauty and memories.. making the mundane seem extraordinary. I love documenting families because life is ever changing and kids are always growing..
For as long as I can remember I've loved taking pictures, and looking at them. There's just something about pulling out a photo album and reminiscing. It almost takes you straight back to that time.. and if you weren't actually a part of it, a good picture can make you feel like you were.
That is my goal every time I pick up my camera. I hope you can tell through my work.
If having photos taken means more to you than just that, if it means capturing memories- then I'm your girl.
"Kate has done AMAZING work! Her editing is phenomenal & she's super easy to work with. She really connects with her clients & makes sure everyone is comfortable. I think my four year old will be heartbroken if we go anywhere else. 100% recommend!"
