HELLO
My name is Katey...
I am based out of Social Circle, GA. My family and my faith are the most important things to me. I have an educational background in both photography and education. I worked with special needs students in the public schools before I became a full-time photographer. My goal in life is to be kind and helpful! I'm a very laid-back person with an endless amount of patience. I just like to keep things simple and sweet. I would love to capture simply sweet and beautiful moments for you!
WIFE
This is my sweet husband Hunter. We have been together for 12 years now. We met through an online dating website and our first date was at a Starbucks - neither one of us really drinks coffee, haha! One of the first things that I loved about Hunter was his willingness to serve others. He is a very hard worker and is always honest with me and everyone he meets. We have been blessed with such a wonderful life together and I wouldn't change anything about it. Our favorite things to do are eat delicious food and watch sports. We especially love the Braves! You can often find us snuggled up on the couch watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, or just trying to survive parenthood together.
MOTHER
I come from a large family (third oldest out of nine kids) and I had such a blast growing up. I always knew that I wanted a lot of kids too. Meet my sweet little family. We have four kids, and they are all so unique in their own special way. Henry is the oldest. He is so smart and loves to compete, especially in Scrabble or Exploding Kittens. Lucy is our only girl. She is kind, sweet, and a friend to everyone she meets. Walt is our third and I like to refer to him as our little politician. He is always schmoozing the crowd and organizing something. The baby of the family is sweet little Charlie. He is fun, adventurous, and his infectious giggle has brought so much joy into our lives! Our life is pretty chaotic, and having four kids in five years has been no walk in the park, but we love each other dearly and I cherish every second of it!
PHOTOGRAPHER
I've always been an artist. When I was little I loved to paint and draw. It was my dream when I grew up to be an artist and a mom (and a cookie dough taste tester on the side). So I guess you could say I'm pretty much living the dream! My grandfather was a painter and an amateur photographer. He gifted me all of his old camera equipment. I ended up using a lot of it when I went to study photography at GC&SU for my undergrad. After that, I got my Masters in Teaching and went on to teach for several years, all while pursuing my passion for photography on the side. When I met my husband, he challenged and encouraged me to take the leap of faith and start my own photography business. With the help and guidance of some amazing friends and photographers, 12 years later my business has grown so much and I have been blessed to capture so many amazing memories for so many families!
