Katie Coon

From the moment I was born my mother or my grandfather had a camera in my face. Every time I turned around they would yell, "Say cheese Katie!" So I would smile and not think twice about it. Little did I know they were capturing the key to our hearts; our memories. I have learned and relearned the absolute importance of pictures, and that they are the most valuable possession I own. I love sharp images where the colors pop out, and the blacks never end. I love images that can freeze the happiest instances in our lives, allowing us to live and breathe that moment again. I am also drawn to natural light, vibrancy, and vintage vibes. Essentially--I love capturing memories that will last a lifetime. It’s truly an amazing job; it suits my lifestyle, my personality and it continues to make my dreams come true every day. My passion is beauty, in every sense of the word. There is beauty in everything; you just have to find it! I’m a fun-loving, hopeless romantic. I live to laugh and love to live--and I laugh a lot, loudly :-) I try to make your time with me as carefree and natural as possible--It’s important to have fun with it and let your personality shine through! I’m very hands on and will always take charge with direction and posing, all you need is your love and a smile (before you know it, perfect candid's will appear). The rush from getting a perfect shot will forever draw me closer to achieving my goals as a photographer, as well as a person. I am eternally grateful to have pictures in my life, and it is my sole ambition to share that gratitude. If you will always remember to smile and enjoy the next time someone takes your picture, then life's greatest memories will follow you perpetually.
