Hi, I’m KT

I make family photos that actually look like your family: the sweet, the real, and the slightly chaotic.

I’ve been a full-time photographer for thirteen years. The most consistent thing I hear is that I have a calming effect on people, which turns out to be exactly what you want from the person pointing a camera at your kids on a beach.

You don’t need to perform for me. You don’t need everyone looking and smiling at once. I’ll find the good moments on my own, and most of the time you’ll forget I’m there.

Hi, I’m KT

I’ve been a full-time photographer for thirteen years. The most consistent thing I hear is that I have a calming effect on people, which turns out to be exactly what you want from the person pointing a camera at your kids on a beach.

You don’t need to perform for me. You don’t need everyone looking and smiling at once. I’ll find the good moments on my own, and most of the time you’ll forget I’m there.

How I got here

I spent seven years in the financial services industry before the creative pull got too loud to ignore. I’ve been doing this full-time ever since.


I shot weddings for years, and I was named one of the top 100 photographers in the world by Fearless Photographers. Then I had my son in 2018, and family work simply made more sense and had more meaning to me. Now I photograph families almost exclusively.

What a session is actually like

Less photoshoot, more a walk with a friend who knows how to catch a moment. I don’t direct you into poses. I give you something to do, usually a little playful and occasionally absurd, and then I photograph what really happens.


Kids tend to trust me quickly, which I don’t take for granted. And the grown-ups who walk in convinced they’re “so awkward on camera” are usually the ones who end up loving their photos most, because for once they don’t look posed. They look like themselves.

A few things about me

A few things about me

  • I live in East Greenwich, Rhode Island with my husband Taylor, our son Cameron, and two rescue dogs, Lucy and Teddy.
  • I split my time between Rhode Island and Wellfleet, on Cape Cod, in the warmer months.
  • I’m a URI Master Gardener and volunteer with several gardening-related nonprofits.
  • Since I became allergic to gluten a few years ago, I’ve come to truly appreciate restaurants that handle allergies well, like Tavern in the Square and Mac’s Shack.
  • I love old houses, even though something is always broken in our 126-year-old farmhouse.

Recognized work

My images have won awards from Fearless Photographers, the Wedding Photojournalist Association, and Masters of Wedding Photography. I’ve also been honored to serve as a judge for both the Fearless Awards and the Fearless Family Awards.
