A DIFFERENT KIND OF FAMILY SESSION

Most family photographers direct.

I notice.

After thirteen years as a photographer, I’ve learned that the best images come the second everyone forgets I’m there. I’ll get you laughing with a few prompts, then I’ll get out of the way. Your toddler can have a meltdown. Your partner can roll their eyes. And you can stop nagging everyone to smile. What you get back is a gallery that feels like your actual family on a really good day.

Hi, I’m KT Wallace


I’m a Rhode Island family photographer based in East Greenwich. Before photography, I spent seven years in finance at a Fortune 500 company. I do not miss it.

  • 13 years as a photographer
  • Mom to an 8-year-old son (will also respond to “mom” and “bruh”)
  • Also a mom to two poorly behaved rescue dogs
  • Reader of mostly memoir, biography, and historical fiction
  • Providence College Alum
  • Oldest of three, which explains a lot about how I work with kids
More about me

You don’t have to be good at this.

I am.

You don’t have to know what to do with your hands. You don’t have to wrangle anyone into smiling. You don’t have to make your kid cooperate or your partner like the idea. Just show up. I’ll do the rest.

Testimonials

  • “Katie is the best at capturing all of the most authentic, beautiful family moments. She makes the whole experience very relaxing and fun, and she’s amazing with small kids. We’ve used her two years in a row and I cannot recommend her enough.”
    Cynthia
  • “It was so great working with you. I absolutely despise having my picture taken, and the entire session felt effortless thanks to you.”
    Ross
  • “I really enjoyed working with Katie for our beach photoshoot. She was so patient. With a 13-month-old and a 90-year-old, there was a lot needed. We never felt rushed, and we ended up with so many wonderful photos I bought all of them. I’d absolutely work with her again.”

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m based in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, and seasonally on Cape Cod. In Rhode Island, that’s Newport, Jamestown, Narragansett, Barrington, Providence, Bristol, Watch Hill, and the surrounding towns. I’m not a native Rhode Islander, so I have no problem driving anywhere in the state. On the Cape, primarily Wellfleet, Truro, Eastham, and Provincetown. If you’re outside those areas, ask. I’ll travel for the right session.

Most sessions run about an hour. Long enough to get great photos. Short enough that no one melts down.

For weekend dates, the earlier the better. September and October book up by midsummer. That said, I typically keep some weekday evening availability open for last-minute inquiries, so if you’re a couple weeks out and flexible, ask.

Simple and comfortable. You don’t need to match. I’m happy to chat with you more about this once you book.

We’ll reschedule, no drama. New England weather is what it is, and we’ll find another window.

Yes. They’re part of the family.

This is the question I get the most, and the honest answer is: probably not. Most families who say this end up loving their photos. My job is to make it easy. Yours is just to show up.

I’ve scaled way back on weddings to focus on family work, but I still say yes to a few each year. More info on the weddings page.

Ready when you are.

Tell me a little about your family. I’ll get back to you within a day or two with availability and next steps.
