Hi, I'm Katie!
Milwaukee Lifestyle and Family Photographer |
Hi there! I’m so happy you’re here
I’m a playful, joy-chasing family and newborn photographer who believes the most beautiful moments are the real ones - the giggles, the cuddles, the tiny toes, the wild energy, and the quiet in-between snuggles.
My sessions are relaxed, lighthearted, and full of connection. I’ll gently guide you when needed, but mostly I create space for your family to simply be yourselves. Whether it’s your newborn’s sleepy stretches, your toddler’s belly laughs, or the way you all fit perfectly together in a hug - I’m there to capture it with warmth and heart.
I know how quickly these seasons pass. The tiny fingers won’t stay tiny. The chaos becomes nostalgia. The ordinary days become the ones you miss the most. That’s why I do what I do. I capture time as is with those people you treasure most and freeze these fleeting moments so you can hold onto them forever.
When you work with me, expect a session that feels more like playtime than posing. Expect patience, encouragement, and probably a little silliness. Most of all, expect images that feel like you! Joyful, connected, and full of love.
I can’t wait to tell your family’s story ✨
The Story of Eight-Eight & Co.
Photography is my favorite way to bring creativity and storytelling to life. I truly believe we are called to steward our time, talents, and treasures for His glory and what better way to do that than by preserving meaningful moments with the people you cherish most? Through photography, we get to pause time, even just for a second, and hold onto what matters most.
Eight-Eight & Co. Photography is a lifestyle photography brand based in Sussex, Wisconsin, serving the Lake Country and Milwaukee areas. Rooted in a family-first perspective, my heart is to create sessions that feel harmonious, natural, and reflective of the season of life you’re currently in. Each experience is designed to feel integrated, intentional, and true to your story.
So why the name Eight-Eight & Co?
The number eight has followed me throughout my life in the sweetest ways. It was my soccer number for years growing up and through college. My husband and I were married on 8.8.15 — a date that holds deep meaning in our story. And of course, no family-centered brand would be complete without the “& Co.” — representing our three beautiful children: Scout, Brooks, and Remi.
I will always give the glory to Jesus for planting and protecting this creative calling, and to my steady, faithful husband for helping turn the dream into something tangible.
At its core, Eight-Eight & Co. was built from my heart for my family with the hope that I can capture and create something meaningful for yours.
All Good Things,
Katie
I would love to capture the people, moments and places that are most meaningful to you!
