I live about an hour northeast of Atlanta, Georgia with my husband, our 9-year-old son, and our two Dalmatians.
As a family, we love nature, hiking, and would pick the beach over the mountain on most days!
I have a degree in Real Estate and a bachelor’s degree in Finance from Georgia State University and spent 10 years in finance before pursuing my love of photography and storytelling through films.
With a background in business, I work hard to bring professionalism that everyone deserves when hiring a photographer. My attention to detail, ability to communicate, and commitment to excellence is what creates experiences that my clients can count on.
hey there, it's your photographer, Kat
I was painfully shy as a child but also obsessively observant with a heart that really took notice of others. As I got older, knowing this helped me to realize that my infinite love for art really came from its source - the artist, the person, their story.
That is the point at which I resolved to help others create something both authentic and lasting for them, their families, and the world.
I believe wholeheartedly that what I do is important. Creating art through photos and short films allows me to give others a way preserve their important past while enjoying their present. It’s art that we create together and a reflection of your very self.
My love for photography and storytelling though films is deeply rooted in my faith which has given me an absolute, deep, and unwavering love for all people.
I believe that every single one of us has a story that is important. We all have a story that should be heard. We all have value to share with others to improve the overall human condition.
Like many people, I have been through a roller coaster of changes and challenges in my life. The journey, especially the lower points of my life have only served to give me strength and deepen my pursuit of helping others see how their own story is a gift.
my why
the iris story
The Iris + Embers flower is truly one of a kind. Our brand was created with purpose and we set out with the same intention to create the symbol that would represent it well.
This specific flower was chosen as it is known to symbolize both faith and hope.
This hand drawn design was created as another personal heirloom touch that lends to the essence of the brand's mission to create lasting artifacts for those building legacies.
Our Iris embodies the elevated services and timeless heirlooms we are committed to providing to our tribe of clients.
The embers represent the fire, the passion, the purpose of both our brand and our clients.
It represents the daily, long-term grind and effort that is a way of life for those of us creating legacies that last.
An ember is not created by mistake. Rather, it takes intention, hard work, time, and persistence.
If nurtured well, a tiny ember can become a fire which in turn creates warmth, light, and even life that can make a positive impact for many generations.
Light and life created in this way deserve to be honored, documented, and archived exquisitely.
Our purpose is to help you create heirlooms for your legacy.
the iris + embers story is of faith + hope + love + passion + purpose
