Hello, I'm Katie. I'm a photographer based in Canberra, ACT. I'm also a mum, a teacher, a designer, a lover of people and stories and life and good coffee. I am crazy-passionate about photography and it's amazing potential to enrich our lives.
My portrait photography business, Heartstory, specialises in family photography, which includes maternity, newborn, baby and child photography. I also take a limited number of wedding photography bookings each season. Heartstory offers a range of fine art prints and products, including framed canvas prints, metal prints, fine art books, and of course digital collections. Please visit the Heartstory website for full details on sessions and pricing, and to view my galleries.
This blog is a place for you to get to know me, and for me to post news, special offers, favourite selections from recent sessions, and some of my personal projects. Don’t be shy, leave me a comment to say you stopped by; I would really love the opportunity to connect with my readers, and I can't do that if I don't know you were here!!!
