I am a seasoned brand photographer based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where my positive energy and encouraging nature, combined with a passionate eye for the creative, have found their perfect home.
When not empowering unforgettable brands with my camera, my favorite times are spent with our 3 kids, sweet dog, husband's amazing cooking, yoga mat, kindle, or gazing at a lake.
Not necessarily all at once.

BRAND PHOTOGRAPHY DESIGNED FOR
A Wisconsin native, I graduated from UW-Madison with a degree in marketing and worked for a Fortune 500 company for 6 years. My love of photography prompted me to create my own business. Though my early focus was on weddings and families, I soon expanded into commercial photography, helping businesses craft their message through strong branding and stunning images.
I am most proud of my ability to make women feel comfortable in front of the camera because when they overcome their fears, they create immense power.
I cherish being a connector, collaborator, and member of various organizations that believe in lifting others as you rise.

KINDEST WORDS
Our project was extensive, requiring four full shooting days, and Katie handled every detail with expertise and professionalism.
From securing the perfect locations and models to coordinating wardrobe and even arranging a last-minute videographer for B-roll, she went above and beyond.
"if you're on the fence, just hire Katie!!"
Elevate Brand Photography and owner, Katie, was amazing to work with and her results speak for themselves!
I have had many photo shoots, however, Katie's was different. I can't wait to book again with Katie for my entire team's lifestyle photos.
"She made me feel at ease and confident"
I was apprehensive about doing a full branding session because it’s sometimes difficult to be in front of the the camera. Katie made me feel comfortable and the session was more like just having a great chat with a girlfriend then nerve-racking.
The final images were beautiful and so versatile to be used in my business.
"my session with Katie was effortless"
If I could rate Katie higher than a 5 ⭐️ review I would in a heartbeat. I knew from the second I walked into the studio I made the right decision; she brought such positive ENERGY! Katie was professional, timely...but more importantly, her ability to capture you in your true element is outstanding. Will definitely be recommending her to all who ask.
"I had put off branding photos for so long"

I believe one of the first things my clients move through is self-doubt. You are worthy.
Brand photos aren’t vanity. They’re a professional necessity that help you show up with clarity and confidence.
Feeling nervous is normal. Not knowing how to pose is expected. Your session should feel empowering, never stressful.
I'll be guiding you every step of the way.
