Travel Family Photographer–Charlotte to Milwaukee

Sweet Loomis Family

Ok…never in a MILLION years would I think that I would be traveling from state to state to do photo sessions, but here I am! This summer has been PACKED with travel and sessions which has made my heart super happy. Not only do I get to say hi to friends and family, but I also get go to my old stomping grounds to capture some amazing photos. Take a look at this adorable family I was able to capture in one of my visits:

Family Photographer

Mom contacted me in early spring wanting to set up a family session. She had searched for a photographer in the Milwaukee area and KatieRie Photography came up in the search. She saw my website said Charlotte, NC, but she figured she would reach out anyways–and I’m so glad she did! For one, I had to do some editing on my site to still include the Milwaukee area. But also, I was planning a few trips to the Milwaukee area and we were able to set up a Family Session. We were able to capture so much love and connection during their session. Take a look!

One of the things I LOVE doing during sessions is finding the right balance between lifestyle and smiling at the camera. To me, my favorite images are the moments that are captured–the tickles, the giggles, the nuzzles into cheeks. Those true moments, but I also know that some people prefer the “looking at the camera photos” as well, so I try to do both.

So much LOVE in this adorable family! I love working with people from all different walks of life, and this session was no different. We bonded right away–so much so that the little girl said I was her best friend! I definitely call that a WIN in my book!

New Baby Photography

Welcome to the World, Baby Owen!

“I spent many sleepless nights during my pregnancy asking for referrals and searching on Facebook for a newborn photographer. I fell in love with Katie’s photographs and was so excited when I was able to lock her in for my newborn session. Once Owen arrived, I scheduled my session within the first week. She was fabulous with my son, her studio is so nice, very clean and she did not disappoint. She supplied all the props, had sound machines to calm my baby, and he was like putty in her hands. I couldn’t be happier with our photographs and can’t wait to schedule a family session later this year. I highly recommend Katie, she is very talented and I’m so glad she was able to capture my baby’s first photographs.” ~Amy

Y’all. Words like these make my heart SING!!! All the hearts. All the CAPS. ALL. THE. FEELS. I love my job; I love capturing these tiny babies. I love the challenge of newborns, capturing the tiny details and the big moments. Every little thing about it. And Owen’s session was no different. Just look at all the cuteness that we captured:

He was so sweet during his entire session. I think he whimpered maybe once near the end. Mom and dad were perfect and trusting and sat back watching the magic of the session. Mom told me she wanted earth tones, neutrals, and possibly some blues and grays. I told her she came to the right spot! The studio is completely stocked with all things neutral, classic, and earth tones galore. Mom had a blast browsing the different props and layers that are all over the studio. To say this was a perfect fit on all levels is an accurate assumption. Can’t wait to see this little guy grow in his milestones!

Meet Baby Gabby

This sweet adorable thing first came to “see” me when she was in her gorgeous mommy’s belly:

Wasn’t mom just STUNNING?! Mom contacted me early on in her pregnancy and wanted to book her maternity and newborn sessions. Since this was the first tiny nugget for this family, mom didn’t know where to start. Good thing I love my job and have a lot of experience working with parents and babies! I told her she made the first important step–contacting me right away. We scheduled her maternity shoot around 33 weeks, which is the PERFECT time. You aren’t too uncomfortable yet, plus you have a beautiful baby bump to show off. Since mom booked a Full Session, she had a few “costume” changes and really looked like a gorgeous queen in each of her images. Mom even got her gorgeous white gown (pictured above) on Amazon!

In just a few short weeks after the session, sweet Baby Gabby was born! I LOVE when people book maternity and newborn sessions as a package for a couple of reasons. For one, I am able to meet and work the parents before your bundle arrives. There’s something really special about going through that anticipation together and really building that bond and working relationship. Plus parents know what to expect for their newborn session, since they have already physically worked with me. It kind of eases any jitters beforehand.

And just look at how adorable she is! We were able to capture so many amazing images during sweet Gabby’s session.

I absolutely ADORE getting to know families and parents while they enter this new chapter of life. I will work with you from the very beginning and beyond to help your vision come to life for your sessions.
