INDIANA-BASED, STORY-OBSESSED
I’m committed to preserving the moments that matter most (while making sure you feel right at home in front of the camera).
In Danish, they have the concept of “hygge”, which is often used as a synonym for “cozy”. But true hygge goes deeper than that. It’s an intrinsic sense of contentment, well-being, and comfort — often reached through finding joy in the little things, slowing down, surrounding yourself with those you truly love, and focusing on presence & connection.
Hygge is the foundation of Kathryn Schneider Photography. Not only do I strive to capture your most treasured memories with care and warmth, but my number one goal is to make you comfortable in front of the camera, whether it’s your wedding day or your hundredth session. Here, we value the authentic moments that come when you’re just living in the moment. If that sounds like your cup of tea, you’re in the right place.

Hi — I’m Kathryn! Make yourself at home & I’ll fix you a quick cup of tea.
Enamored with cameras since I was in high school and constantly inspired by storytelling in all its forms, photography has always felt like home. After dabbling in photography, videography, and content creation throughout the years, I’ve found myself planted firmly in this wonderful business of capturing wedding days, family milestones, and all the magical in-between moments that you get to cherish forever.
I’m an older sister to my core — welcoming, dependable, calming, and prepared for any situation — and I bring that energy to my sessions. I’ll be right there to support you in the uncomfortable moments, guide you gently, and help you feel okay, even when you’re not so sure. I’m ready to cheer you on from the sidelines and always there to support you in your big life moments (and even the little ones, too).

PINNING THESE MESSAGES TO MY CORKBOARD
“I cannot say enough kind words about Kathryn. Thank you for sharing your art with us.”
“I cannot say enough kind words about Kathryn! From the moment we stepped foot in her studio for an engagement session she made us feel so comfortable & welcome (we are part of the LGBTQ+ community & Indiana is hard place to know where you are welcomed). Not only is Kathryn a talented photographer, she has a heart of gold & a genuine passion for what she does. From the bottom of my heart, I would suggest her for any of your photography needs. Thanks for being the best, Kathryn. We appreciate you! Thank you for sharing your art with us. xx”
with love, from Taylea
"Katey is amazing at what she does!"
"She is so friendly and easy going, and such a joy to be around! We have used Katey for maternity pictures, newborn, and family pictures as well as minis and I can’t express how much these pictures mean to us! I truly look forward to her capturing our family through the coming years!"
with love, from Kassidy
"Our photos are perfect — truly stunning and beyond what we could have imagined."
"Kathryn is so sweet, kind, and calming; she made the entire day feel smooth, relaxed, and effortless. I felt completely at ease knowing every special moment was being captured exactly as I remembered it. Her assistant was incredible as well—so helpful not only to Kathryn, but to me and Louie throughout the day. She was amazing with the kids and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran seamlessly. Together, they made our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable. We are so grateful and cannot recommend Kathryn enough!"

"Kathryn was amazing to work with!"
"She captured the best photos for my engagement and I am thrilled to continue working with her for my upcoming wedding! She always responds to my emails quickly and communicates well. She was so helpful with posing us for the photos and asking me what I like and don't like. I can't wait to see the beautiful photos she will capture on my wedding day in a few months!"
with love, from Amanda
"Katey did a wonderful job for our engagement shoot and wedding session."
She showed up and showed out. She was a rockstar! She even helped me take care of a dress accident in a pinch. She was extremely positive the entire day and super uplifting! She was on top of it and got things done quick and seamless when we were racing the rain. She was a great advocate for me and my husband on our special day. She made sure she asked what we wanted and did not hesitate to help direct traffic as needed. All of our pictures turned out perfect! Katey listened to what vibe I was going for from day one and she made it happen. We could not be more pleased with our experience with Katie and we would recommend her to anyone.
with love, from Jessica
"Kathryn was the perfect choice."
"Kathryn was the perfect choice as our photographer for our backyard wedding reception. I loved when she surprised us by taking a few film shots, which printed right then and there as minis. She beautifully captured all of the highlights of our day. We selected her specifically for her editing style which is very natural looking. Thank you, Kathryn!"
with love, from Olivia
