I'm the artist and soul behind True Atlas Studios.
Born and raised in Southern California, I’ve always been drawn to art, nature, and real human connection.
I’ve built True Atlas Studios from the ground up — every photo, edit, post, and piece of this brand is done by me. It’s not always easy in a city like LA, but hearing the love and appreciation from my clients reminds me I’m right where I’m supposed to be.
I dream of capturing love in wild places — from National Parks to destinations around the world. If you're looking for honest, artful photography and someone who pours their whole heart into what they do, I’d love to meet you.
hi, I'm Katie
Photos are more than just images — they’re memories frozen in time. They hold emotion, connection, and meaning. That’s why hiring a professional photographer is about more than having a nice camera — it’s about trusting someone to tell your story with intention, experience, and heart.
As a professional, I don’t just show up and snap photos. I guide you, I notice the little things, and I know how to capture real moments as they unfold — the ones that might otherwise slip by unnoticed. From lighting and composition to editing and delivery, every part of the process is crafted to bring out the best in your story.
