She was born and raised in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, where she developed a strong love of nature, physics and New Zealand heritage. She is influenced by the culture of Aotearoa, New Zealand, and the connection between people and the environment. The stories behind people and places fascinate her.

Katie enjoys both film and digital photography and has been commissioned for portrait and travel assignments. She continues to find creative inspiration in mechanics, the history of the land and its people, as well as the natural design elements of nature. Her most recent photographs are inspired by Henri Cartier-Bresson and the “decisive moment.”
