About Kate Ragan Photography
Hi, I'm Kate! I am a natural light photographer with a love of old barns, tall grass and rust (the more the merrier!). My style is a combination of timeless charm and rustic beauty which allows me to add variety to my shots and appeal to an array of clients.
Since founding my company in 2012, my goal has been to produce simple yet timeless images you will cherish for a lifetime. I provide more than just beautiful photographs and high quality products. I capture memories, small moments in time that tell a story – your story. From bellies to babies, toddlers to seniors, engagements to weddings, and all those memories in between – I want to be there to preserve these moments for you.
I have always had a love for photography. My mom was always taking pictures of my little brother and me when we were little, and I think my appreciation of it started there. I also loved (and still love) going through old family photos with my dad and listening to him tell stories about my ancestors. From these talks with my dad, I began to understand the importance of taking photos to preserve our memories. There is a quote I read somewhere (and I can't remember the exact words so I'll paraphrase) that you can't really appreciate family photos until that's all you have left. And while this is sad, it's true. This is what we will have to pass down to the next generation. This is our chance to make time stand still just for a second so we can preserve these moments forever.
While in college I studied (not photography) but history and government. That's right - I'm a high school history teacher and self-taught photographer on the side. I love being a teacher - I love working with people and am a total history nerd! But as far as my photography business is concerned, I think this gives me an edge on senior photography. I get to work everyday with teenagers so it gives me the opportunity to get to know the kids. And with that said I do very well photographing seniors (one of my favorite things to photograph) because I work with these kids daily. My seniors aren't just clients they are (as teachers say) "my kids." I love getting to capture who they are - their interests, hobbies, and individuality - in a fun photo shoot! Senior sessions are always fun! Senior sessions and weddings are my favorite! :)
If you know me you know I always have everything planned out lol. When I was in high school my goal was to become a high school history teacher/photographer. I am proud to say I have made that goal happen! I am so thankful for all the wonderful people I have met/gotten to work with the past four years. I truly appreciate everyone of you, and I am looking forward to another great year!
