CIAO
Katie here. Let me start by telling you what I'm passionate about:
- How Spotify trumps Apple Music
- Waffle House being extremely underrated
- Golden Retrievers. Need I say more?
- Intentional conversations. None of that surface-level nonsense.
- The comfort of live music.
- Italian leisure.
From 8-5, I work for iHeartRadio as a Digital Account Manager where I connect with advertisers to publish media in the expansive audio space.
I find comfort in live music. It is my favorite landscape to photograph. Artists offer so much vulnerability in sharing their story with loads of strangers that are able to connect deeply with the lyrics. Some of my favorites are Bon Iver, Gregory Alan Isakov, Phoebe Bridgers, Penny & Sparrow and CAAMP. Listen to similar stuff? I would love some suggestions!
I like to tell stories through organic, cohesive content. From marketing to advertising, we thrive where we are in control of the message being announced and the medium that it is revealed. Social media is imperative to the success of a brand. Having a recognizable brand voice and aesthetic makes me giddy, call me a nerd.
Photography, to me, is capturing moments that need to become a tangible moment in history. It began with my father, as he was a photographer right out of college, getting the opportunity to shoot for people like Bruce Springsteen to the Dallas Cowboys. When he handed me my first Canon, I felt a world of possibilities at my fingertips. It has since become my passion, and one that pairs very well with social media.
Thanks for stopping by. This is my little space to introduce you to the faces and places that have filled my life with love. I look forward to connecting with you!

"I want to apologize to all the women I have called pretty before I've called them intelligent or brave. I am sorry I made it ound as though something as simple as what you're born with is the most you have to be proud of. When your spirit has crushed mountains. From now on, I will say things like, 'you are resilient' or 'you are extraordinary.' Not because I don't think you're pretty. But because you are so much more than that."
