Katie combines traditional field techniques with modern digital capture and post processing techniques to create photographs that not only document the space, but that also tell a story and depicts it in an artistic manner. Each shot is styled and lighted in a manner that is appropriate to the space and compliments your design to show texture, volume, richness and thoughtfulness. Katie uses both natural and artificial light where appropriate to artistically capture indoor and outdoor spaces. Every single image is meticulously crafted with expert attention to detail.
All of Katie’s architectural and interior photo shoots include a digital workstation that shows the photos as they are made in real time. This feature allows for collaboration between the photographer and client, and also ensures that images are created exactly as the client has intended. Together, we will discuss the best features of the project and will work together to create your story and showcase the space to its fullest potential.
See what it takes to produce a fully lighted, dramatic twilight photograph and interior image. These images are captured through multiple exposures and blended together meticulously in post-production. Katie customizes each project to her client's needs and the end result is simply more than "just a picture of a building."

Due to the many variables and complexities that come along with the planning of an architecturAL shoot, all projects are custom quoted.
Estimates are structured based on the following:
CREATIVE FEE: The Creative Fee includes the time and skill required to complete the project, including pre-production tasks such as Client meetings, advance site visits, site-specific preparation, and all of the necessary photographic equipment. The Creative Fee is quoted on a per-day basis. Typically, I can capture around 12-15 composite images in a full 8-10 hour day but the shoot time and the number of images that can be produced depend on many factors.
POST-PROCESSING: After the shoot, the editing process is very extensive and therefore mandatory. RAW images will never be delivered because honestly, they would do you no good. It would be like giving you just the eggs and flour instead of the finished cake. Post-processing is a per-image fee and it includes:
Blending and lighting adjustments by hand, detailed color correction, perspective correction, clarity and contrast adjustments. It is common for the post-processing to consume even more time than the photoshoot itself.
Includes the storage, backup, culling, digital delivery, and archiving of the final images from your shoot.
PHOTOGRAPHER’S ASSISTANT: My assistants are a valuable asset who help the day runs smoother and faster.
STANDARD USE LICENSE: All final images will come with a standard boilerplate license to use the photos for the hiring client only. This standard license covers all of the usage needs for most marketing needs and includes:
Web Portfolio, Print Portfolio, Contest Entry, Social Media, Printed Collateral, Internal Use, Editorial Publication
It does NOT include: any paid advertising placements (online or print) or 3rd party use
Additional usage licenses can be provided for 3rd parties, affiliates, or advertising use
