About Katie…

I grew up in New Mexico, where the desert landscapes and endless skies helped me to develop a deep connection to nature. I have always had a love for wildlife and the outdoors, which is something that has stayed with me as I've made my way to Nashville, Tennessee. I now spend as much time as I can exploring the Smoky Mountains as well as the many other beautiful parks and landscapes that Tennessee has to offer.

Though I’ve always been drawn to photography, it wasn’t until I took a trip to Brooks Falls in 2023 that I truly found my passion for it. Watching the bears in their natural habitat left me in awe, and it was an experience that inspired me to pick up a camera for the first time, just a week after returning home.

Photography has now become a way for me to share the world as I see it, whether it's the quiet stillness of a Tennessee forest or the wild energy of an Alaskan river. My goal is to capture these moments, and remind others to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the natural world around us.
