Hi, I’m Katelyn!

I’m a photographer based in Oklahoma City, and I’ve been photographing people, families, and small businesses for the past nine years. Over that time, I’ve learned that the most meaningful images don’t come from perfect posing, they come from people feeling safe, respected, and free to be themselves.

My work is deeply connection-focused. I care about how it feels to be photographed just as much as the final images. I believe honoring autonomy is essential, especially when working with children, families, and anyone who feels hesitant or unsure in front of a camera. That means moving at a human pace, paying attention to cues, and allowing people to engage in ways that feel comfortable for them.

After nearly a decade behind the camera, I’ve come to see photography as a form of listening. I’m paying attention to relationships, environments, and the small details that give meaning to a season of life or work. The images that come from that attention tend to feel familiar, grounded, and lasting photographs you can return to and recognize yourself in.

As a member of the Chahta (Choctaw) Tribe, and steward of the Earth, being in Right Relationship with the Land and the Ancestors of the Land is my highest priority.

I acknowledge that the land from which I live, breathe, and offer this work is the ancestral and unceded territory of the Wichita, Osage, Kickapoo, Kiowa & Comanche people. These lands have been home to generations of Indigenous communities who have cultivated deep relationship with the earth through ceremony, story, care, and resistance.

I offer my respect to their elders past and present, and to all Indigenous peoples whose presence continues to nurture this land despite centuries of displacement and harm.

This acknowledgment is not a replacement for reparative action, but a starting point. I commit to ongoing unlearning of colonial patterns within myself and my work, and to returning again and again to the wisdom of land as teacher, kin, and sustainer.

I invite you—wherever you are—to learn the names and stories of the Indigenous stewards of your land, and to listen deeply to how your body and being can contribute to repair, reciprocity, and reverence.
