Why Work With Me?
I’ve been photographing people for over 20 years, but my true strength isn’t the camera — it’s making people feel seen. My gift is creating a safe, supportive space where you can drop the awkwardness, breathe, and shine.
I’m not selling perfect photos. I’m selling confidence. And portraits that remind you just how incredible you are.

The Authentic Portrait Session
More than portraits, it’s how you’ll feel.
What if two hours could change the way you see yourself—and how the world sees you?
With over 22 years behind the lens, I know what it feels like to hate having your photo taken. I’ve been there. Which is precisely why I created the Authentic Portrait session: a powerful, portable session where I come to you. No awkward studio lights, no fake smiles, no gimmicks. Just authentic portraits that capture the real you—confident, relaxed, and ready to be seen.
What You’ll Get
Two hours of photography, anywhere you choose — your office, your home, outdoors, or on location. I come to you.
Confidence coaching is integrated into every shot, so you feel at ease and genuinely enjoy the process.
Versatile portraits for business, personal branding, or just because you deserve to feel good in your own skin.
A confidence boost that lasts long after the shoot is over.
Why It Matters
In a world full of AI-generated images and polished fakery, people are craving authenticity. Your audience, your clients, your community—they want you. Honest, approachable, confident you. This is your chance to show up with photos that reflect your story, your personality, and your power.
Why Work With Me?
I’ve spent over two decades photographing people all over the world, from celebrities to everyday women who swore they hated the camera. I know how to guide you, support you, and draw out your most natural expressions. If you’ve ever wished you could look at a photo of yourself and finally love what you see—this is it.
Your Investment
Two hours with me. At your location. A library of portraits you’ll actually use.

This isn’t just photography. This is confidence, captured.
✨ Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear to my shoot?
Wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Solid colours are always flattering, and textures or layers can add interest. Avoid loud prints or logos. Bring 2–3 outfit options so we can create variety in your portraits.
Any tips for hair and makeup?
Yes! Think of it like you’re getting ready for a nice event. Don’t get your hair cut the day before—take about a week to settle in. Whether you do your own or hire a pro (I can recommend a few!), the goal is polished but still you.
How do I book and pay?
A 20% deposit secures your date, with the remaining 80% due the day before our session. Once we lock in your shoot, I’ll send you an invoice with all the payment details.
Where will the shoot take place?
Sessions take place at a Sydney location we choose together—your workspace, home, or a stunning outdoor spot. I’ll help you pick the perfect backdrop that reflects your vibe.
I’m camera-shy—will you help me pose?
100%. Most of my clients feel this way at first! I’ll gently guide you through poses and expressions, helping you feel at ease. You’ll be supported every step of the way and walk away with photos you actually love.
“Hi Katie, thank you for your inspiration!
My husband and I have been married for 32 years. There are a lot of pictures of the kids growing up, but there are astonishingly few of the two of us. As you say, a moment in time is preserved forever. I took thousands. Thanks so much!”
From Janet and Greg, a cute couple!
“Katie- your posts are so uplifting and helpful!
I have used your insights and taken better portraits.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge here!”

“Katie, I found you on Instagram a few months ago, and you have already inspired me.
I’ve been the least photogenic person I know for my entire life. I have very few good pictures of myself over the decades.
You have taught me how to relax before the camera and even take a decent selfie! The messages that you convey are so important I can't thank you enough.”
