About - Kate Todd Photography

Hi, New Friend!

My superpower is creating a space where everyone feels safe to let their guard down. Because I’m unapologetically myself behind the lens, it gives your crew the green light to be unapologetically themselves in front of it! Whether that means mid-session tickle wars, running through fields, or capturing that quiet, sweet hug, I’m all about bottling up your family's true magic. Let’s hang out, act a little silly, and make some unforgettable memories!

BEHIND THE LENS

Every photography session should feel less like a rigid photo shoot and more like an engaging, joyful experience. As a former elementary school teacher turned "Mama" turned professional photographer, I blend educational expertise with creative passion to ensure your session is a seamless, stress-free success. My background in the classroom means I speak the universal language of fun, patience, and imagination!

Since officially starting my business at the beginning of 2020, documenting families is the core of what KTP is all about. I know how crazy, wild, and beautiful life can feel with little ones. For me, getting to freeze time so you can soak your loved ones in again and again feels like the ultimate privilege. I can't wait to help you tell the story of your own kids while preserving them for a lifetime. Consider me a new friend along for your journey!

As a military family, we move. A lot. We have lived in houses of all shapes and sizes, in cities all over the country. But no matter where the military sends us, there is one thing that instantly turns an unfamiliar house into our true home: hanging our family prints on the walls.

I believe your memories deserve more than a lifetime of sitting on a hard drive. Digital files are convenient, but printed photos are what you actually live with every single day. They are the first things you see in the morning and what makes your space feel uniquely yours.

Because of this, I include professional prints in every single session I offer. I want to make sure you walk away not just with a gallery of links, but with beautiful, tangible pieces of your story ready to fill your home with warmth—no matter where life takes you.

My obsession with prints comes from a good place: My husband and I share exactly one printed photo of us together as babies, and it is our absolute prized possession. Digital files are awesome for sharing, but prints are what turn a house into a home. Let’s create beautiful, touchable art out of your session that your family will squabble over who gets to keep 30 years from now!
