Photography has the power to transcend mere visual representation; it can capture the essence of a person, tell a story, and evoke deep emotions. For me, photography is more than a profession—it's a passionate mission to empower women. Through my lens, I aim to celebrate their strength, beauty, and individuality, providing them with a platform to express themselves and boost their confidence.

My journey into photography began as a hobby, but it quickly evolved into a deeper passion as I realized its potential to make a difference. As I photographed friends and family, I saw firsthand the transformative power of a photo session. Women who were initially camera-shy began to open up, embracing their beauty and uniqueness. This realization sparked my desire to focus on empowering women through photography, and it has been my driving force ever since.

Photography is a unique medium that combines art and technology to create lasting impressions. A well-executed photo session can reveal a woman's inner strength, highlight her individuality, and boost her self-esteem. This transformative power is at the core of why I am so passionate about using photography to empower women.

Photography can have profound psychological benefits for women. Especially after having a cancer journey. Here are some key ways it can make a difference:

Many women struggle with self-image and confidence. They are left with scars and possible trauma from their healing  journey. A photo session that highlights their beauty, scars, and strengths can significantly boost their self-esteem, helping them see themselves in a new, positive light.

Photography allows women to express themselves in ways they might not be able to in everyday life. Through creative direction, wardrobe choices, and posing, they can explore and showcase different aspects of their personality.

For some women, particularly those who have experienced trauma or significant life changes, a photo session can be therapeutic. It provides a space to reclaim their bodies and their stories, promoting healing and self-acceptance.

As a photographer, my role goes beyond capturing images. It involves creating a safe and supportive environment where women can be themselves. Key elements of my approach include:

Establishing a connection with the subject is crucial. I take the time to understand their background, experiences, and goals for the session. This helps create a comfortable and trusting environment.

I encourage women to embrace their natural beauty and uniqueness. Authenticity is what makes the photos powerful and relatable, and it's essential for fostering genuine self-confidence.

Many women feel nervous or unsure in front of the camera. I provide gentle guidance and positive reinforcement throughout the session, helping them relax and enjoy the experience.

Empowering women through photography also involves challenging societal norms and stereotypes. Traditional media often perpetuates unrealistic beauty standards and narrow definitions of success.

Empowering women through photography is more than just taking beautiful pictures; it is about celebrating their stories, achievements, and unique beauty. This passion drives me to create meaningful and transformative experiences for every woman I photograph, helping them embrace their true selves and feel confident, beautiful, and empowered.

To all women, I invite you to experience the transformative power of empowering photography. Whether you are looking to boost your confidence, celebrate a milestone, or simply see yourself in a new light, a photo session can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and empowerment. Let’s work together to capture your beauty, strength, and individuality.

Inspire, lead, elevate...

Empower

Empowering women means fostering confidence, independence, and self-worth. Through support, mentorship, and opportunities, we can help women recognize their potential and overcome barriers. Empowered women empower others, creating a ripple effect of positive change, equality, and growth in society. Together, we can build a more inclusive and equitable world.

Katie was amazing! She was so responsive when trying to book and very easy to work with! She was able to get me in on short notice which I really appreciated because my lack of planning was in no way her fault and yet she still made it work! My newborn was a little older than standard for a newborn shoot so she was a bit more awake and alert. Katie is the baby whisperer and was able to calm her down and get her to sleep multiple times, all while posing her and switching up outfits. To say I was impressed is an understatement. I would highly highly recommend her to anyone looking for newborn photos! Her studio is beautiful and the amount of colors and accessories she has is unbelievable! 10000% worth the investment

  Katie has taken my maternity pictures and just took my sons newborn pictures! She is a wizard both in the studio and out on location. She has extreme attention to detail and watching her during the newborn session has left me in awe of her persistence and quick and gentle hands her sets are beautiful, classy and elegant, 10/10 would hire her again!

   Katie is absolutely amazing!! I am so glad she was recommended to us, I was super stressed out because my son came a little earlier than expected & we didn’t have a photographer lined up but Katie was able to fit us in within a few days of his birth! Newborn shoots take a lot of love and patience and magic and Katie has all of those!! We had our older 2 sons with us and she was so patient with them as well!! I would recommend Katie over and over again!!!

newborn family session

Jaymi Hadley

 Katie did such a wonderful job with our maternity and newborn pictures. During the maternity pictures she made my husband and I feel so comfortable and helped us to pose and get perfect angles. For the newborn photo shoot, she worked so well with our little girl to help her stay calm, asleep and just look adorable! Katie has so much patience and is so sweet, we will for sure be going back to her in the future for family pictures we highly recommend her for anyone who needs pictures, especially newborn, she went above and beyond to capture our sweet little girl!

I won a photography session during one of Katie’s giveaways, I ended up using it for my maternity photos. She had me come to her studio to try on dresses, she was so nice and easy to talk to, she made me feel like we had already known each other. When we did my maternity photos with my husband and three children, she was so good with them and made them feel comfortable, and my photos were amazing! I liked her style so much that I had her take photos this summer of my four children and they turned out really wonderful, even though my two year old was not in the mood for having his pictures taken I most definitely recommend Katie Anne Photography for all of your photography needs!

I have been more than happy and pleased with the outcome for all three photoshoots! I most definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful photographer!

My family and I had the best time doing our family/maternity shoot with Katie. She is amazing and made us feel so comfortable. My kids are a little rowdy and crazy but she captured them being themselves and it was the best experience. We cannot wait to welcome our 3rd baby and do a newborn shoot with her. Highly recommend for anyone looking for pictures you will not be disappointed!

Alicia Cleland

I can't recommend Katie enough! I was so in love with the maternity photos she took for us that I knew without a doubt she was who I wanted to take my daughters Newborn photos. She is charismatic, kind, and understanding which put my anxiety at ease. If you are looking for an excellent family photographer definitely go with Katie Elder!
