Logo for Katie Wright, featuring a stylized frog holding a camera, with text highlighting real connection and storytelling, and mentioning photography for maternity, families, branding, and boudoir.

I’m Katie. I’m so stoked you’re here.

Born in the soy bean capital - I’m a central Illinois family, small business branding, and boudoir photographer. I have spent the better part of a decade helping people celebrate the parts of their lives that make them different, and I built my business around that single idea. I work closely with people like you to uncover not just an aesthetic, but an individualistic reflection of themselves through creativity and authenticity.

A black and white photograph of a woman outdoors, with a blurred natural landscape in the background. She has long hair, a nose piercing, and is wearing a black top with necklaces.
The image features the text 'katie Wright' written in a elegant, cursive font with a light gray color on a transparent background.

MY

PROMISE

I promise to lead with kindness. Every person who steps in front of the camera deserves to feel welcomed, comfortable, and truly seen.

I promise to capture real life, not perfection. The messy, joyful, in-between moments are the ones that matter most — and those are the ones I’m here to preserve.

I promise an experience that feels easy and human.From the first message to the final gallery, the goal is simple: for you to feel relaxed, supported, and completely yourself.

FAMILY & COUPLES

Three children are standing at a window of a small green shed with brown trim, smiling and waving. There is a dog statue and a fox-themed mat outside the shed.
Three children outdoors near a house, with a large tree. One child is climbing the tree, another child is sitting on a swing, and the third child is crouched on the grass.

“Katie is a joy.

She was able to corral three very active kids and capture some of the best images in the process. She was so patient! I would without a doubt recommend and choose her again and again. The pictures of the kids will be cherished forever.”

Text that reads "the Manderbach family" in a script font over a black background.
Decorative figurines on a white wooden shelf, including a gnome, a bird, a fox, a mushroom, and a log, with a paper note hanging from a metal clip attached to the shelf.
A man with a child on his shoulders, and a woman and another child, playing and dancing outdoors near a vintage car during sunset.
