A Few of My Favorite Things
I am a family and wedding photographer based in Austin Texas and the surrounding areas.
I'm a Colorado girl through and through, slowly learning how to survive the Texas heat and bugs. I will jump on any excuse to find my way back to the mountains... destination shoot anyone?? *cough cough*
My husband Kolten and I are college sweethearts and have been married for 11 years. we have two highly energetic, silly and intensely loving toddlers. Seriously, they may claim you as their newest best friend if you ever have the pleasure of meeting them.
I love a solid hazelnut latte, staying up too late chatting with good friends after sharing a great meal together, and shamelessly using my kids to make new mom friends at the park.
I started my business in 2015 and have photographed everything from high school seniors to weddings, but families have found an extra soft spot in my heart, especially after becoming a mama. I love every messy, emotional and joy-filled moment that comes with family sessions. After all, isn't that what life is made of?
hi friend! i'm KAtie.
Before taking my business full-time, I used to be a barista and loved it!
i am a big fan of coffee.
Call me crazy, and it doesn't happen as often as I would like, but I love waking up before my kids to sneak in some time with the Lord, drink my coffee while it is hot, and get ready for the day.

It’s true. Albums are expensive.
And, they SHOULD be.
Albums do not just store photos, they store memories. Not only that … albums tell stories. Pictures are meant to be used, held and enjoyed. Albums are the perfect way in which to create a communal experience with your treasured photos. Albums will continue to be great storytellers long after the Facebook “likes” disappear and the USB’s get forgotten.
A custom wedding album is a forever family heirloom that tells the story of the single most important day in a couple’s lives like no other product can. AND … it can live on to be shared and enjoyed across generations to come! That is an experience (not just a product) that is truly PRICELESS and worthy of an investment that will last a lifetime!
But speaking of PRODUCT…I have selected albums that speak volumes when it comes to value and custom workmanship. Each album is custom designed and printed on the finest quality Fuji Crystal Archival photographic paper and bound with a 100% natural Italian leather cover that is soft to the touch yet durable. Lay-flat pages with a protective coating allow the story of your wedding day to shine through while helping the album stand the test of time. Only the best for my clients!
Heirloom Albums
"Katie has been there for some of our most special life events; engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn, and various family photos over the last 6.5 years. She's been behind the camera eight times for us, not just as a photographer but as a friend. She is thoughtful, helps you to feel comfortable, and is willing to get any shot you ask for! We can't imagine trusting anyone else to capture our family's most precious moments."
-Jessie
"Katie has been our family photographer for the last six years. She has a gift for finding the most beautiful moments to photograph amidst crying newborns, uncooperative toddlers and distracted parents. Her creativity with poses, gentle and funny interactions with our kids and attention to detail have led to stunning art that we cherish deeply. I’m so thankful to have had her capture our family in its different stages and highly recommend her! We can’t wait to use her again."
-Gretchen
"Katie Powell is an absolute joy! She made taking pictures feel easy and natural and even got our 6 month old baby to smile!She has an eye for capturing beauty and staging even in an everyday park that the normal eye wouldn’t see. We will have her take our family pictures every time going forward!"
- Lauren
"Katie is such an amazing person to work with!! Throughout the whole process she was so kind and helpful! She I found her online and just loved the bright and elegant style she takes to her photos. I highly recommend having her for your special day! Worth literally every penny."
- Gia
"Working with Katie was such an amazing experience! She’s an incredibly talented photographer and really worked with us to learn what our photo priorities were for our wedding. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and we LOVE our pictures!"
-guy and lauren
"I truly enjoyed working with Katie for my senior pictures. She made the session a lot of fun by giving me ideas about how to pose and letting me put my ouwn twist on things. It was an early morning session, but the lighting was absolutely worth it. My mom loves the photos so much, she can't decide which ones are her favorites, and I would have to agree. I couldn't be happier with them!"
-Mandie
"I can't speak highly enough of Katie Powell Photography! I was able to do a college senior shoot with her, and I enjoyed it very much! Not only did I love the pictures she produced, but Katie also enhanced the experience by making it fun and comfortable. The photos are professional and high-quality, yet also portray my personality well. This was a great way to provide closure to my senior year, and I'm grateful I was able to work with Katie!"
