My journey

Back in 2015, I bought my first camera and started a blog to document a backpacking trip to Australia. This unknowingly marked the beginning of a travel content creation journey that I’m still on today, sharing stories and photos from my travels, while working in the aviation industry.

My travels have ranged from slower escapes to active itineraries, but since becoming a mum in 2026, my focus has naturally shifted towards booking family-friendly trips that still allow for a hint of adventure.

Now more than ever, where I stay on holiday is as important as the destination itself, so I’m always on the hunt for elevated accommodation that blends beautiful design with practicality.

Brand collaborations

Alongside my personal projects, I collaborate and partner with travel & hospitality brands to capture lifestyle imagery, craft editorial features, and curate social-first UGC. 

Based in South East England, I’m centrally located and open to travelling worldwide.

If you like my work and want to discuss a project, please contact meI’m able to share a media kit on request.

Testimonials

Working with Katie was an absolute breeze from start to finish. Her eye for detail effortlessly brings a creative vision to life. She has a strong ability to curate the perfect aesthetic while making everything feel natural and authentic. I highly recommend Katie for any aesthetic shoot within the travel and hospitality industry.

Head of Partnerships, Unplugged

Collaborating with Katie has been a great experience. The photos she delivered perfectly capture our brand. We’re delighted with the results.

Content & Social Media Manager, Admiral Hotel Copenhagen

We worked with Katie to photograph our hotels and are very pleased. She stayed as a guest and ensured that all the in-between moments from the room to the public areas and facilities were captured. The photos fit our identity well and can be used in multiple ways. She works independently, and communication and receiving the images were flawless.
