What to Expect When Shooting With The Daydreamer Diaries
In case you need a reason to hire Katie, I’m going to share a couple of my personal reasons for choosing her to capture my memories.
Besides weddings and elopements, Katie is an extraordinary person to choose to capture sweet moments with your families, important milestones, or creative images of you. You don’t need a special reason to have tangible memories created! I scheduled a shoot with Katie after buying this dress and having nowhere to wear it. I just wanted to dress up and have pretty photos taken!

I’ve hired Katie four times to do creative styled shoots for myself and my family. I’ve done a self-love shoot for Valentine’s Day, a creative maternity shoot, an anniversary shoot, and groovy holiday photos.
What drew me to Katie was her nontraditional approach. Nothing is forced or stand there and say cheese. She knows how to catch movement, authentic laughter and lets the vibe of the shoot speak for itself. Katie isn’t afraid to lean into fun, creative ideas. In fact, her creativity is what speaks volumes about her work being different from others.

Katie has given me permission to show up as myself. Finding a creative who can match my energy and colorful visions is uncommon, and she has never been intimidated by that. She believes in individuality, which is the most crucial aspect of choosing a photographer for myself. Instead of being intimated by my rainbow hair, she has collaborated on visions that reflect exactly who I am with my hair.

When you shoot with Katie, here are some things you can expect.
You can expect her to have radiating positive energy. She will hype you up and make you feel like you are the best at modeling! She thrives when you allow yourself to show up just as you are. You don’t need to worry about looking stiff or unnatural because she catches moments as they happen. If there is music playing, dance to the music and let her capture those mid-dancing shots where everyone is just living in the moment. Laugh at a joke, share a forehead kiss, or find props that excite you. Movement is great at loosening up nervous energy.

If you’re shooting downtown, flaunt your outfit and let Katie catch your confidence. Window shop and let her capture your smile as you see something so cute or funny. Incorporate props, ideas, and colors that make you genuinely excited.

You can expect Katie to treat you like a friend and to fall in love with her friendship by the end of your shoot. Katie knows how to capture the best and most authentic version of yourself. As a photographer, Katie loves that the most about her work. She is a human who believes in the beauty of human connection and intricacy.
You can expect a nontraditional approach to memory-making. Her ideas overflow with creativity, and her specialty emphasizes that. She knows how to make photoshoots stand out from traditional photography. Look at this image of using balloons and a short rainbow dress for my maternity photos. Nothing compares to how much fun I had with this shoot.

In a recent social media post, Katie talked about her secret to taking photos with kids. She said she finds it better to let them lead. As someone with two young toddlers, I can confirm that our best shots were child-led. No one got frustrated because we weren’t trying to force perfect sit-still photos. We accepted and invited movement and authentic spirits from the kids.

Katie is truly the best photographer for genuine authenticity; she makes it known how much she cares about her clients. Her clients become friends, and that is so special. She is so easy to rehire over and over because her images go above and beyond. She plays such a sacred role in creating memories.
