Hiiiiiii! Nice to meet you, I’m Katie Carlson!

Your fave Lawrence and Kansas City Photographer 

Happiest at a coffee shop on Mass Street, eating good food with my friends and family, or on the couch watching tv with my dogs.

I’ve had a camera in my hand since before I can even remember. My work has always been rooted in observation- your sister putting your earrings on you, the tear rolling down your mom’s face when you are coming down the isle, champagne glass clinks from your closest friends and family, the crowded dance floors, and all the moments in between. With 9 years of wedding photography experience, I want your photographs to feel like you. I will give you direction when you need it, and also plenty of space so you can experience your day. Not overly posed or perfect, but intentional, emotional, and full of love. My work blends documentary style with an editorial eye. In return, you get a gallery that feels timeless, raw, and unmistakably, you.

If this sounds like your kind of photography, I’d love to hear about all about you!
