caught somewhere between a little girl who loves to play outside & a young woman running her own business. a daydreamer at heart. a sucker for sappy movies, charcuterie boards, iced lattes, hikes in the mountains, & capturing love stories through my lens. a daughter of king jesus. a frequent "google flights" checker. the person who makes my husband giggle. a lover of adventure.


I am a girl with a desire to make time stop, to savor life's sweetest moments, to in the calling that gOD HAS PUT ON MY LIFE, TO SERVE, TO LOVE, TO FIND THE BEAUTY IN SOMETHING.

if you'd ask me why I do photography & videography, I'd likely give you a similar response.


Katie Rae Media is the brain-child of my creative, entrepreneurial, love-inspired heart. coming from the girl who's fascinated by people's stories, has an intense admiration for creation, & has always been guilty for having an absurdly large camera roll... pursuing this career almost seemed like a no brainer.


since feb 2024, I have poured my heart & soul & prayers into making this figment of a dream into a reality. I'd like to think little Katie would simply be overjoyed - overjoyed because of how many people believed in & supported her, because of how she was willing to jump off the deep end, because of how overwhelming kind our LORD truly is.


so, as an extension of my gratitude, i thank you. whether you were in front of my camera, expressed interest in my work, or shared a kind word, hug, coffee date or moral support, i want to thank you from the very bottom of my heart. you are apart of one, big answered prayer.


alas, i introduce you to katie rae media. you are loved beyond measure, friend.

She goes above and beyond!! Highly recommend!!

We had the pleasure of working with Katie Rae Media for our engagement photos and are so excited to have her capture our wedding as well! She was incredibly sweet, kind, and truly listened to all of our wants and ideas. The photos turned out better than we could have imagined, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommend!
