About Kathryn

Kathryn is the product of an Architect and a Politician. Kathryn has the gift of gab and an eye for design – the perfect combination for a commercial photographer. She is an avid gardener and loves a good project. Whether renovating a run-down house or rescuing an abandoned pup, she loves working to bring things to their full potential. This is the same passion she exercises when shooting for her clients. She has a keen instinct for what a client wants, and the agency strives for. Kathryn splits her time between the West Coast and Portugal but considers the world her home, so she is comfortable shooting wherever the client needs her to be.
