My Bio

Meet Katie

I understand teenagers, and the parents raising them.

You can call me Shu.

For the past 16 years, I’ve worked with teens every single day... in classrooms, on cross country courses, and on the track.

I genuinely love connecting with seniors and learning who they are.

Teens relax faster when they’re with someone who understands them, and parents trust the process when they know their child is in steady hands.

I fully understand this stage of life. The nerves, the confidence swings, the growth... all happening right now.

My Photography Journey?

It started on a soccer field.

When my oldest son was seven, I started bringing my camera to his games. I immediately fell in love with documenting those split-second, emotion-packed moments! The grit, the focus, the joy.

Since then, I've made it a mission to completely immerse myself in learning everything I can about this craft.

And today?
• I’m still learning.
• Still refining.
• Always growing.

From start to finish, my goal is to make this entire process joyful, personal, and filled with all of the moments that matter most.
