These designer belts are Blinding!




The last three are pretty much the same image, but I had fun catching the light from the rhinestones.

As everyone is starting classes, I can't help but look back at some of my photographs and wish I was back in the classroom. Some of my favorites from the darkroom...

Designer on Wood

I'm helping my Aunt sell some of her shoes and accessories on Ebay, so I figure why not take some awesome pictures reel people in. Part of a tree fell down in the backyard, and I ended up with a perfect backdrop. Feels like autumn.

A little bio for ya...

My name is Katie and I'm an artist. Growing up I used my creativity to express myself especially once I got older. From drawing a portrait of myself in the hallway to getting my first camera, I knew art would always be part of my life.
I went on a trip to London England and that's when I realized what I wanted to do with my life. I was watching the Changing of The Guard at Windsor Castle when I saw the most impeccable shot. The framing and composition made me giddy, so I stopped filming the presentation and pushed my way through the crowd. The thrill of getting the perfect shot made me weak at my knees. I knew it was love.  From that day on I decided that my future would involve photography.
While getting my bachelors degree in Photography from The University of Oklahoma, my work started to morph into the what I would like to call "beautifully dark with a bit of quirk." I was inspired by the quirky photographer Liz Wolfe and by Izima Kaoru whose photographs are hauntingly beautiful.
Concept is my favorite part of photography. I love to be able to tell a story or at least get a story going so that the viewer can finish the story themselves.
