My Story
who you're working with
Hi, I'm Kathleen - a daughter of God, a wife who's married to the love of her life, a mom to 2 beautiful children, a floral watercolour artist and a former ER nurse.
My photography journey began as a desire to capture memories for myself and my loved ones. What was once a hobby slowly grew into a passion. I love photographing people and making them feel seen, understood and loved through the photos I take.
After 6+ years of experience behind the lens, I officially launched my photography business in 2024. I've also pursued professional photography education to further improve my technical knowledge and skills so I can serve my clients better.
My clients are the reason that I am here today, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here!
Natural, real and honest photography
what i love to capture
When you work with me, you are free to be yourself - whatever that looks like for you, your family or your brand. My goal is to photograph who you are authentically. No stiff poses. No awkward movements. No pretense. During a session with me, I capture genuine moments that are unfolding in real time , giving your photos a real, natural and honest feel. As a former nurse, I have so much experience working with people of all kinds and of all ages. I have a natural ability to put people at ease, so even if you think you're awkward in front of the camera, I assure you that you'll feel so comfortable during our session that you'll forget I'm even holding a camera!
Why clients choose Kathleen Niebuhr Photography
A comfortable experience
Your comfort and experience in front of the camera is one of my top priorities. The goal is to make you feel relaxed & at ease during our session.
Guidance from start to finish
From the first point of contact to booking, planning, shooting and delivering photos, my process is smooth. The goal is to keep you informed every step of the way.
Genuine & heartfelt moments captured
My approach is genuine. I emphasize connection over stiff poses and forced smiles. I always encourage my clients to be in the moment rather than worrying about how to pose. I provide gentle prompts & guidance if that is something you want.
Professionally edited images reflective of true-to-life colours
My editing style is "true-to-life" meaning I don't heavily edit photos, apply filters or hyperfocus on every little thing. I believe that true-to-life colours are classic and timeless.
