MIDWEST WEDDING & LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER
I’m Kathryn (the cozy-loving soul behind KSP) and I can’t wait meet you.
I specialize in helping people who are uncomfortable in front of the camera to loosen up and even have fun by the end of our session. My priority isn’t taking the most editorial, glamorous, perfect wedding photos, but instead photographing authenticity and real moments.
I’ve worked in videography, content creation, and photography for about seven years now — which is crazy to me! After falling in love with this lifestyle and the honor of documenting people’s most special moments, I decided to take my side hustle full-time so I can spend all my days doing what I love so much. At their core, weddings are a celebration of two people who love each other and make a promise to stay a team for the rest of their life. What is more beautiful than a lifelong commitment to your best friend? That’s why I am still here, and will be here for many more years.
I don’t live my life by trends or glamor, but I care deeply about my clients — as if they were my own family.
To treat your most special moments like a keepsake, you have to document them. I always loved looking through grandparents family photo albums on their living room floor growing up, to see the memories preserved and the beautiful ways they changed as time progressed. This is why capturing your memories is so important to me, and why I found myself here in this wonderful business.
Your photos are so precious — and I don’t take these moments for granted. I have a knack for noticing what’s important: the details you spend your time curating, the hugs with loved ones, candids of grandparents dancing, tears during a speech, stolen looks, and all the in-between moments you might not even remember. I love being a fly on the wall to freeze these tiny-but-mighty important moments.
I want to help you preserve these precious memories and freeze the imperfect moments in time — because time moves so quickly, and your story deserves to be seen.
THE THREAD THROUGH EVERYTHING I DO
More Than Just Photography
WHAT I BRING TO THE (KITCHEN) TABLE
Your Built-In BFF
My absolute favorite part about being your photographer is that I get to be your built-in best friend. I’m here to support you through the process — every single part of it. I’ll be sure your hair looks perfect the whole time, because that’s what besties are for. I’ll remind you to reapply your lip gloss and take your hair tie off your wrist so your main focus can be on being in the moment. And if you need some encouragement, look no further! I’m here for you no matter what. We’re in this together!
Got It Covered
Feeling stressed with planning a wedding? Don’t worry — I’ve got the photos COVERED! That’s one thing that you can cross off your checklist. If you have a big family, no worries! I do too, and I’ll help corral all of them for the photos. And I’m sure you want to capture all the details you spent hours putting together… Well, no stress, because that’s one of my fave parts! From start to finish, I’ve got it all under control so you can trust me implicitly with this precious day.
I Care… A LOT
I know you are putting all of your energy into your big day. I’ve been there, too! One of my superpowers is that I care about your story just as much as you do. And I love meeting new friends and getting to know you more! I’ll send you a questionnaire when we get started together, so that I can learn what matters most to you when photographing your wedding day. I am so pumped to come alongside you and make sure I get photos of what is most important to YOU.
[ LET’S GET STARTED – TOGETHER ]
I Love Baking
I bake bread, desserts, and other treats almost every week. I spent a year trying to find the best chocolate chip cookie, and I believe I’ve developed the perfect chocolate chip to cookie ratio!
Always Down to Craft
I’m big into fiber arts like knitting and hand embroidery, but I can get into any craft! I taught myself to knit in 2025 and recently finished my first sweater.
Professional Vibe Setter
As a major homebody and comfort-seeker, I'm a pro at cultivating a cozy vibe. There is always a candle lit in my house, and I refuse to use overhead lighting (we're a lamp-only household!)
Major Big Sister Energy
I'm the eldest daughter of three girls, so I'm not only the most reliable Type A person in the room, but I'm also there to keep things calm and steady. This translates into my photo sessions, too!
Rom-Com Obsessed
When I’m prepping for a wedding, my major source of inspiration is a cozy throwback rom com. Some of my favorites are You've Got Mail, Father of the Bride, When Harry Met Sally, and so many more!
The Comfort Queen!
If I haven't said it before, I'll say it again — coziness is my specialty! You'll find me in a sweater and jeans instead of dressing up, I love a cozy Sunday watching sitcoms, and I love a good cup of hot tea.

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!"
with love, from the Castillos
"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
