Hey, I'm Kayte
“Weird” was always thrown at me like an insult, but here’s the truth: we’re all weirdos, and that’s the most wonderful thing about being human. I encourage the weird. I celebrate the weirdos.
I’m a storytelling photographer who moves fluidly between candid, portrait, and editorial work. I don’t pigeon-hole myself or my clients—if you’ve got a story to tell, I’m up for the challenge. I shoot everything from branding sessions to creative portraits to unconventional weddings (the weirder, the better).
What I don’t do is maternity or traditional weddings—there are incredible photographers who specialize in those, and I want you coming to me because my style and editing speak to you.
As a neurodivergent introvert, I get it if you’re camera-shy or feel awkward. We’ll figure it out together. Always growing, always learning, always creating space for the wonderful weirdos out there.
Real Life
Beyond the camera, life is all about the people, passions, and adventures that fuel my creativity.
I share my life with my partner Spenny, a fellow creative soul and musician. Together we’re on this crazy adventure called ‘life’ and i’m so thankful to have him by my side.
By day, I work full-time as a Creative Director for LevelUp Local alongside my bestie Joey, where we help businesses level up their digital presence and branding.
At home, I’m comforted by two amazing dogs—Ozzy and Ace—who keep life interesting and remind me to take breaks from the screen.
I’m a lover of good food, getting lost in nature, and diving into weirder creative journeys wherever I can find them. Whether it’s experimenting with new photography techniques, exploring abandoned places, or discovering underground music scenes, I’m always looking for the next adventure that pushes boundaries.
What I Believe In
Authenticity
There's no such thing as "too weird" in my world. I celebrate your authentic self and help you feel empowered to let your freak flag fly.
Creativity
Every session is a collaboration. I approach each shoot with an open mind and heart full of creativity to bring your vision to life.
Connection
I pride myself on my ability to connect with clients on a deep level, bringing out the most extraordinary and vibrant aspects of your personality.
