Hi, I’m Kate Fried.

I see the world in colors & textures, always looking for the beauty in you, seeking out the best light & background so your photos are unique works of art.  

My first years after college were in a classroom, teaching high school art.  After 11 years of pouring into other people's children, I traded public school for motherhood.  Those daily interactions in high school classrooms taught me a valuable lesson. I learned how to really see individuals in my large classes & to create a safe space for connection through creativity. 

After the first 6 years of unexplained infertility, God gave us the sweet gift of children.  We now have four girls who are between the ages of 2 and 11 and are each so incredibly different from each other.  Spending these years at home with them has been the most rewarding season of my life (& challenging, of course!). More than a decade of all the mom things has permanently changed my identity.  I wouldn't trade it for a million bucks.

The joy and delight stored up in my heart from each session is truly a gift that I'm thankful for every day that I'm able to shoot sessions with you.  Your family's love for each other is truly life-giving.
