  • Photojournalistic style

I’m a natural light photographer based out of Rapid City, South Dakota. I specialize in wedding & family photographer that truly tries to capture the raw, candid, and intimate moments. I gravitate towards the moments that make your soul ache with complete happiness. My life changed once I birthed my first born baby boy. I picked up a camera & was drawn to photographing every day moments that I didn't want my mind, or my heart to ever forget. It wasn’t long before I got other families behind my lens & strive to capture the same emotional connection that drew me to this artistic craft in the first place.

Katie is a very responsive and friendly photographer. She takes the most amazing pictures and made us feel comfortable the whole time during our sessions.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.
