• Age: 39.

    We are officially on the countdown to 40. I find the numbers far less interesting than the trajectory. If you are here for the ride, hold on: I intend for 2026 to be anything but quiet!

  • Scorpio Sun. Gemini Moon. Capricorn Rising.

    I am the intersection of deep-water intuition and high-altitude discipline. My Scorpio nature provides the sultry, observant lens, while my Capricorn rising ensures the studio stays on schedule. Add a Gemini moon for a sharp, restless wit: I am quiet depth with the ambition to build and a mind that loves assembling the puzzle.

  • Married to a fiery Aries. Our dynamic is a study in elemental balance: intense, private, and grounded. He is the Carl to my Dolly (Parton). Our inner circle is small and has been with us almost as long as we have been together.

  • Proud auntie and DINKS for life. My littles are feline furballs: Loki and Dolly. Our life is kept very full by our nieces and nephews. We are so grateful and blessed.

  • Green, but I live for the full spectrum. I have a deep appreciation for the entire rainbow and the nuances found within it. My mind and my heart rarely settle on just one note; I prefer the beauty of the whole range.

  • We’ll have fun! I love to laugh and keep it light. But we get shit done, know what I mean? I’m effervescent and slightly sardonic, but very salt of the earth: I work with all walks of life and keep my standards high. I do not fall apart in the wake of failure; I simply rebrand it as a lesson and pivot. I am an all-in collaborator who knows how to listen, fix, and leave a project better than I found it. My instincts are sharp, but I remain a perpetual student. My only rule: open your eyes and ears before your mouth and watch the world change.

Fun Kate FAQs

 KSS Photography FAQs

  • Hey, I get it — I’m ADHD, I know time can slip away. But please respect my time, too. Communication is key! If you’re running late, let me know ASAP. I’m flexible within reason, but no-shows or ghosting past 30 minutes might forfeit your retainer. Let’s treat each other kindly, yeah?

  • Sure — I love animals and I’m down for the unusual. But please, manage your kids and furry companions so no one eats my lens or chews my lighting cords. I promise to keep the energy fun and welcoming, but I’m not a pet or child wrangler.

  • I love my people, and I’ll do what I reasonably can — but boundaries are boundaries. I’m always happy to talk about budget, but please respect that this is my livelihood. At the end of the day, I gotta eat too, and you’re here because you value what I do.

  • Because retainers keep the calendar goblins away! (Also, they lock in your date so I can focus on your project instead of juggling flaky bookings.) Retainers are credited toward your final invoice, but non-refundable if you vanish without warning.

  • Bring all your questions, ideas, props, wardrobe options, Pinterest boards, and random sketches on napkins — really, bring it all. I’m here to help you refine, polish, and make the best ideas shine. When in doubt, pack it. You never know what creative gold we can build together.

  • Text, socials, email, Google Docs, interpretive dance… as long as we keep a consistent thread, I’m good. My goal is clear, easy communication — we’ll figure out what works best for you.

  • Final files are stored for 90 days after project delivery. Need them later? Let’s chat about archival storage options, or consider a backup drive for peace of mind.

  • Nope, sorry. RAW files are like my secret sauce — they stay with me. But you’ll get beautiful, fully edited, high-resolution images or audio that you’re licensed to use as we agree. If you truly need a special file type, let’s talk before the shoot.

  • If a legit act of nature, illness, or a spaceship crash happens, let’s talk and reschedule safely. Nobody should risk health or safety. I’ll always do my best to adapt if the universe goes sideways.
