About Kate

Kate, photographer at Westward Portraits

I'm a photographer and filmmaker. I spent nearly a decade in New York making photos and films before moving west to Phoenix, and this business is named for that move.

I love the slowness of film and the softness of natural light. My sessions are relaxed, and I aim for portraits that feel like you on a good day.

Who I photograph

  • Individuals and couples
  • Families
  • Artists and musicians
  • Small businesses and brands

I don't shoot weddings, but I'm happy to photograph engagements.

Let's make a portrait

Send me a note with a few dates and what you're picturing. I reply within two days.
