what it means to work with me

Each session that I plan will immerse each of your senses so that you have a full experience and are free to tap into your most basic instincts so you are able to relax and enjoy the moment.

Each image I capture and provide in your collection will be hand edited so that we can minimize your worry about blemishes, perceived imperfections, distracting details, and anything else that you want removed or enhanced so you can see the beauty of the image.

Prior to all of our sessions I will create specific prompts for you that are designed to engage you and create unique moments that can be captured with genuine feeling. Here is an example of a prompt I might provide for a family session with small children; “I want you to run towards me and when I say “stop” you stop” and when I say “go” you go (think red light; green light). Prompts like this make for authentic emotions and real smiles and laughter.

  • I recently had the pleasure of working with Katy, the owner of Kay Marie Photography for my son’s 1-year photo shoot, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Katy was able to capture our special moments beautifully. She has a true vision for photography.

  • My maternity photos turned out amazing! Kay helped me pick a good time and location for the photos and quickly edited and sent them back out to me! She even gave me a few extra because she just liked them so much, will def be coming back for family portraits next

  • My husband and I were very pleased with the photographs that Kayl did for our family over the past few years. She is always a pleasure to work with and each photograph has a natural, beautiful outcome. Kay is very kind, adaptable, and easygoing. She manages to capture candid photographs of our wild toddler for each session! Kay ensures that we have a say in what type of style we are looking for within sessions while also adding her own uniqueness to them!

  • I have been blessed to work with her multiple times on very different types of shoots. The pure natural talent she has is unmatched. The fact she makes you feel so comfortable and confident all at the same time is a gift. She is so versatile and can bring and vision to life. Hands down one of the best photographers there is. I can’t say enough things about her and her work.
