Kate has been creating images since 2002.
Welcome!
I could easily bore you with a list of magazines I’ve been published in, could state every contest I’ve won (not that many really…I'm not fond of them), and sit and brag about my photographic style and credentials. But this web site is not meant for me…it’s meant for YOU! Why are you here and what would you like to get out of it? Are you here to buy a new print for your home or office? Would you like to learn how to improve your own photography and are possibly interested in booking me for a workshop or individual session? You will find your answers here…and for some reason if you can’t find what you want, please contact me. I’m happy to help.
Feel free to read the testimonials below to see what people really think of me…I left the evil comments out. Just kidding…
The fact of the matter is, I’ve always loved taking pictures…even when I didn’t really know how. I’ve also always loved teaching others. I was the person who loved to train the new people at whatever job I had. (There’ve been a few…an environmental regulator, an aquarium curator…yes I swam with sharks and got bit by a moray eel, a juggler at the games at Six Flags in my younger years) But I digress…
I really love seeing an aspiring photographer take a shot that they didn’t know they could and just grin ear to ear. I’m tickled by Photoshop newbies when they see how much they can improve what the camera spits out and make the images reflect their emotions when they captured them.
My photographic goals are simple, to Inspire People! I want to inspire people to better appreciate the natural world and hopefully take simple steps to improve the environment.
Enjoy my site, enjoy your journey. I hope to meet you soon!
Testimonials
Awesome class! I've been really intimidated to try manual on my camera. I loved the examples and the questions on which setting to use. Thanks for making it so much more understandable. I'm not afraid to try it! Thanks again, Gina
“Another excellent class! Kate is such a great teacher, she explains everything wonderfully!” Jai
“Even though I use textures all the time, I came away with new ideas...especially in how to create my own.” Barbara P
"Kate, it is you who is the kind one. You give freely of your time and talents and teach us the technical side of photography. You share images you create which are windows that allow us to see the world through your eyes and feel for a moment the beauty that exists all around us. If it wasn't for your work many of us would miss these windows. We are moved by your images as they let us see a little deeper into our own selves. Thank you." Arthur E. Feb 2014
"I had a wonderful time and learned so much! You have a great eye and a wonderful way of teaching! Thank you so so much!!! I hope to be able to take some more workshops in the future!!!" Stacie
I want to thank you again for all I learned in the Photoshop Workshop you did for us. What I learned has taken me to the next level! Donna F.
"Thanks so much for your instruction and help during the workshop. I was so encouraged by the fact that you offered the same time and attention to those of us who didn't use SLR cameras. I liked that you covered basic and advanced advice and technology and that, while offering help to each person, you let those of us who weren't as confident choose to 'hang back' until we were ready to ask for help." Nancy A.
"I loved your HDR presentation. You're such a fine student of photography. You really know your stuff! AND it's always fun, a real gift!" Jack W.
