Built on Quality. Raised on Service.
At Oak & Pine, we're passionate about capturing life's precious moments. As a lifestyle and portrait photographer based in Columbus, Ohio, I specialize in families, newborns, and couples. I'm Kate, the creative force behind the lens, and I'm dedicated to telling your story with honesty, emotion, and a touch of natural light.
Our Story
As a mom, photographer, and designer, I've always been driven by a passion for creativity and storytelling. My journey began with film classes at the tender age of 9, and I still shoot film on occasion. I pursued a degree in commercial interior design, which I still practice part-time. However, after becoming a mom to two boys, my focus shifted, and I discovered a deeper passion for documenting families. Today, I primarily focus on newborns, families, couples, and occasional small events.
Our Approach
I believe that life's beauty lies in the in-between moments. That's why I strive to capture your story with a mix of candid and posed photos, using natural light and embracing textures and shadows. My goal is to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, allowing you to be yourself in front of the camera. Whether it's an in-home session or an outdoor adventure, I'm committed to preserving your memories with emotional and honest photojournalism.
