Kate's story begins in the stunning landscapes of Kenya, where she spent her early years as a missionary kid alongside the breathtaking Rift Valley. Growing up as a third-culture child among some of the kindest, most genuine people shaped her deep love for others, a knack for seeing things from all angles, and a passion for creating and capturing beauty in every form.
Though her love for photography blossomed in high school back in the States, it truly took off after marrying her soulmate, Bradley. Using some of their gifted wedding money, they invested in Kate's first DSLR camera. When their daughter Ana arrived nine months later, Kate turned her passion into a thriving business focused on capturing life's most special moments. Now, with three beautiful children filling her life with joy and inspiration, Kate continues to capture precious memories, both for her own family and countless others.

Mama to three world-shakers, Debbie picked up her first DSLR over a decade ago. My heartbeat was originally entirely devoted to my undergraduate degree in music pedagogy. However, once my creative world expanded into photography, I quickly discovered my heart and soul in documenting the fairytale stories from couples that were developed by loving one another on the mountaintops and even stronger in the valleys.  Veins constantly infused with a Starbucks iced, brown sugar shaken espresso with cold foam is an absolutely necessity to keep up with my three little babes and the embodiments of amazing grace in my life. 
In my spare time, you'll find me still putting that music background to good use on the piano or vocally. 
I'd love to hear a whole list of your favorite things. Let's grab some chick-fil-a and chat about the things that spark joy in your life.
