Meet your central Illinois photographer

Hello, I'm Kaitlyn the creative eye behind the lens. My hometown in Elmwood, Illinois is where my family and I call home. I have had camera in my hand since I was a child. Begging my grandma to develop the film as soon as I ran out would be my favorite past time. I was always on a scavenger hunt for artistic shots hidden in plain sight.

Aside from being a photographer I am wife to the most amazing man. He is the fuel to this wild fire dream come true. Blessed I am to be a mother with four amazing children. My favorite season is summer. I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. I enjoy spending with my family, visiting the city and attending my children's sporting events. Getting a brown sugar shaken espresso with vanilla cold foam is a sure way to my heart.

Exploring the world through my lens, I strive to capture the beauty in everyday moments. Taking in precious glimpses of your story and making it into a memory for you to cherish forever. Weather its crisp morning sun or the golden waves of the sunset from the heat of the summer to the cool temps of the winter, My camera is ready for any adventure.

I invite you to browse further to see my photography style.

Let's go make some magic together!
