I’m Katie—a storyteller, photographer, writer, and enthusiast for all things authentic and heartfelt. Based near Wellsburg, Iowa, I find joy in capturing life’s fleeting moments and preserving them as cherished memories. Whether I’m behind the lens or sharing my reflections through writing, I’m driven by a love for connection and a passion for celebrating the beauty in everyday life.

As the creative force behind A Glimmered Life, I offer a variety of photography services, from Fresh 48 sessions that honor the magic of new beginnings to senior portraits, family milestones, and youth sports. My goal is to create images that are as genuine and unique as the people in them.

When I’m not photographing or writing, I’m finding glimmers of joy in the world around me. Through my self-published journal, The 365 Glimmer Challenge, I encourage others to discover their own moments of light and positivity every day.

I love travel, spontaneity, and stories that inspire. My adventures, whether exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Scotland or simply chasing the perfect morning latte, fuel my creativity and remind me to slow down and savor life’s details.

Let’s create something unforgettable together ✨
