You've got a heck of a lot more layers than that
and that is exactly why I do what I do when it comes to photos.
Think of me as the bridge between all the pieces of you, to the carefully crafted stitches of your story, to the photos that tell the tale of you.
you, my friend, have come to the right place. we serve people like you, who believe documenting your days is a very worthy cause.
step into my studio
and let's get to know each other
I'm Kate, lead photographer and owner of KSP. And I am so happy to meet you. Like the crinkly eye, big smile, happy to meet you!
Think of me as your go-to, expert in all things, photography bestie.
When it comes to photography, there are dozens if not hundreds of categories pros place themselves in. Portrait, wedding, engagement, family, newborn, business branding, film, fine art, photography educator…
But when it comes to smooshing myself into just one of those little boxes and only claiming only a few as my "expertise", ehhhh, it makes your girl feel a little claustrophobic, you know? Because I truly love multiple expressions of my craft.
Which is why I spent over 13 years getting really good at a lot of things.
It is also the secret sauce that uncovered my enthusiasm for encouraging folks to connect with the camera outside of all their own little boxes.
And exactly why I do things a little bit differently than your average photographer.

by translating the ideas in your mind, to the real deal in camera...
you get photos that finally feel like "you"
Over a decade ago
I started my photography career and noticed...
there was a huge gap in the photography industry. And i was going to fill it.
Photography services for multiple life events wasn't a thing...so I made it the thing for KSP.
Your need for photos doesn't stop at engagement and wedding photos. There is a WHOLE lot more life to live after that...and you change and grow right along with it.
I know that you are more than the title of mom, dad, business owner, nurse, teacher, pilot, whatever it is you introduce yourself as. I know you have passions and a personality that span beyond what can fit in an "list of photo services" tab.
You and me? We have a LOT in common.
Just like you, I absolutely understand that a one size fits all static option just won't work. That you may have a need for family photos AND you run a small business that needs product photos AND you need updated in studio headshots. That you are MORE than one "thing" in this world, and your life paints the picture of many aspects to integrate, not just one of title.
That's why I got really good at serving my clients exactly where they are, in every stage of life. To bring alllll of that good stuff together. Which means you don't have to hunt for multiple photographers...you can have it all in one place!
why my approach is
a darn good thing for you
My job as your photographer is to give you beyond the session you want
I am obsessed with providing the session you need
We deliver a session that actually feels like you from the get go because each session is customized for you. With clear communication from your inquiry to your gallery delivery, you will feel heard. Your custom client questionnaire, consultation, and carefully crafted session, make all of this possible.
Because we KNOW it isn’t always realistic to pack your fam up and head 4 hours away for an adventurous mountain climbing session...
But, what IS realistic, is learning about what you love about the idea of that type of session, and finding ways to create it locally. Preferably, without the blisters.
Guess who lives to solve these types of problems (and knows all the good spots in Milwaukee)?
This girl.
You don't need ridiculously epic locations or a brand new wardrobe to make epic photos. You just need the right photographer who will listen to you and deliver on her promise.
maybe you were purusing pinterest...
and found the perfect inspo pic for the perfect portrait. One problem: the person posing has a totally different sense of fashion, isn’t smiling (but like Buddy the Elf, smiling is your favorite), and is standing in front of a gray backdrop (your least favorite color).
But.
you like SOMETHING about the image. And you can’t quite put your finger on it.
That’s where I come in to translate what you loved about that image. No Pinterest copy and pasting, we create images designed for you...not the masses.
As an experienced pro, I know the impact each body of work lends to another. this is how we do it.
getting at the heart of who you are
and showcasing just how wonderful your story is. that's what we do best around here, and our greatest passion.
