let's connect:
I know there are many photographers you could choose from, and I am truly honored you're considering me.
The season of life you are in deserves to be remembered forever. I started my photography business with a passion to do just that –– capture the genuine emotions of your life's biggest moments.
As your photographer, I vow to give you a stress-free and fun photography photography experience that's wholeheartedly built around serving you and your loved ones. I've photographed hundreds of families since starting my business in 2013, so I've learned a thing or two (or 13,487) about capturing the perfect portrait session.
Welcome! I'm so thrilled you're here!
The portrait pricing guide
The Portrait Experience begins right here – with communication and connection! It's important that I connect with you to ensure we're a great fit to work together, chat about the vision for your portraits, and more!
step 01: connect and chat
After your session is confirmed, your Portrait Experience officially begins! You will be invited to the exclusive online Portrait Lounge, where you will find resources – from outfit inspiration to session tips – so you can make the most of your Experience!
step 02: plan and prepare
Your session will be centered all around you and your loved ones. With all of the planning and preparing we will do before your session, you will start your session with confidence and edit it with fun!
step 03: your Session
Once I have collected and edited the images from your session, I will place them inside of my gallery portal and send you a direct link to your own photo gallery where you can purchase and download your keepsake photos.
step 04: Photo delivery
Photos weren't meant to be stored on your device. They should be admired in your home and bring warmth into your life. I offer prints and albums so you can cherish your favorite memories forever. However, purchase of prints is not required.
step 05: Order and cherish
– Robin Afeld
Having family portraits taken with three small children is so stressful, but my favorite part is honestly when we get to the location and Kate is there to greet us with a smile. It's a sigh of relief to know I'm going to get the pictures I want and we are going to have a good time in the process!

Our family absolutely adores Kate! She has been a part of so many significant milestones in our lives- engagement, marriage, and welcoming our three beautiful children into this world. She has a way of making us all feel comfortable in front of the camera, and can make a family session with three wild kids go seamlessly!
"She Has Been A Part Of So Many Significant Milestones In Our Lives"

I can’t say enough great things about Kate! She has been photographing our family for the past 14 years! She is hands down the best!! She is always trying to make my family laugh but still have things look organic in the photos. She is so kind and always goes above and beyond! I love her and her work so much that I planned my wedding date around her so she could photograph it! You won’t regret using her!
"She is so kind and always goes above and beyond!"
- Elodie Powell
My favorite part of our sessions is Kate herself. Kate is so easy to work with and makes you feel so comfortable. She is so good with children and that makes or breaks a good photographer. My youngest went into our last session saying he wouldn’t smile for Kate, but by the next day, he wanted to visit her again! When I get my photos back, I always think, “We were a mess, how did she get anything good?” and every time, she completely blows it out of the water. My tip? Be yourself, and Kate will embrace you!

My family has had the honor of having Kate capture our milestones for 6 years, from engagement to wedding, maternity to newborn and everything in between! If you have an unruly toddler, or a wiggly baby I promise you she will capture it all and the photos of your toddler running will be your favorite from the shoot. These are photos you will cherish for the rest of your life, my only warning is you will be overwhelmed by how many you’ll have to choose and want to print them all! She will be the one we call for our major milestones!
"She will be the one we call for our major milestones!"

Neutrals are ALWAYS a fan favorite! You should definitely speak to your own family's style, but don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone a bit! After you book, I will send you access to my Client Lounge which will include tons of tips and resources to help you plan the perfect outfits!
02. What should we wear for our photography session?
I have multiple locations in and around the Springfield area that I love to photograph at. I am happy to work with you to figure out a location would work best for your the look you are wanting to achieve. I also have a natural studio on the west side of Springfield as an option!
03. Where will our portrait session take place and during what time of day?
I will deliver your final gallery link via email within two to three weeks of your session date. The email will be accompanied with instructions on how to download or order prints directly from your gallery. A print release will also be included.
