What to expect

To describe Katie in two words, she's THE BEST. She created the most gorgeous setting for our engagement when my fiance reached out to her in a pinch. She gave us the most beautiful memories of the best days of our lives to date. Our joy couldn't have been captured more perfectly from the minute we walked up to the picnic to the moment we popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate. She also made the trip into Chicago, scouted locations, and directed the most amazing engagement shoot for us. Not only is every penny spent well worth it, but Katie is the most fun to work with. She's kind, warm, and so funny. 20/10 recommend working with Katie.

Hello, I’m Kathryn

turning your story into lasting works of art is my passion

@kathrynjeanphotography

Hi, I'm Katie! I am a photographer serving families in Chicago and it's North shore.

As a hybrid photographer who shoots both analog film and digital images to capture human connection, I bring a sense of refined craftsmanship to each session. The result? A curated selection of authentic, ethereal images of you and your loved ones, ready to hang on a stunning gallery wall or print in an heirloom album.

As a mother of three, I know how stressful all the little details can be – so I’m also here to help you coordinate and shop for outfits, select a beautiful (kid-friendly) location, and even bring treats! I love setting up a natural, comfortable atmosphere where everyone’s personality can shine through.
