hello! 

I’m kaitlynn. I’m a lifestyle photographer capturing a range of moments and occasions.

there is a particular tension in photography - a balance of getting a good shot and eliciting the emotion of the moment. exploring that tension is what i seek to do in my own process of image-making - occasionally tipping the scales toward emotion rather than settled composure. 

creating art out of the everyday experiences of others is foundational to my work. sharing a collective moment with your beloved, your family, your partner, or yourself with me through the lens is not something I take for granted. Bearing witness to intimate moments is a task worth doing well. 

while photos are literally a snapshot of a single moment, they can also hold lifelong stories. I want to help create snapshots of your life that can be pieced together to narrate a fully-lived, well-worn, authentic life. Image-making as an embodiment of the real + authentic. 

chicago-based, but always willing to travel
