Hi, I am Katie McCullough, your Portrait Alchemist,
I am a multi published wedding & pet photographer. I strive to capture my clientele as authentically as possible. I’ll be a photo ninja (yes, we multi-class here) throughout your wedding day capturing moments so you can sit back and enjoy your day, all while trusting that your day will be captured from the biggest moments to the smallest most quite ones.

A Natural Druid At Heart
Since a young age I’ve shared a special bond with animals, from rescuing blind kittens in construction sights to removing snakes from the garage. I’ve carried this love and deep connection to animals throughout my life and love being able to capture them in a way that allows each of them to shine. I dream of a world that can see animals the way I do, their emotion, their personality, their beauty, and how amazing they are!
Telling their stories…
I use my skills to not only capture your pets, but I also donate my time regularly to photograph shelter and rescue animals, updating their photos to better show their personalities and help them find their forever home.
Every session booked with me helps fund my mission in helping animals find their forever home!
My belief is that every person is photoshoot worthy! In life it can be easy to take moments for granted, to feel not good enough, or not worthy enough. Life is far too short and UNPREDICTABLE for such thoughts. Take the chance, leave your mark on time! You and your memories are worth capturing!
“A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety.”

My Work Style
My style is a mixture of documentary style and Editorial photography. I love to capture genuine candid moments, while also including some fun unique poses. I’m able to guide people as needed through poses for sessions while capturing their most authentic selves through easy to follow natural feeling prompts.
My style often leans towards deep vivid colors but I’m always up for trying something new. I love to mix things up and bring to life various creative ideas.

My interests don’t stop there though, I’m also a kendoka and enjoy a relaxing time practicing my kendo in the dojo and releasing tension of the week through my kiai. I also hope to soon add fencing to my sword art training as well in the future.
