WELCOME, FRIEND!

I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Katie Distefano and I am a senior and wedding photographer based in Raleigh, NC. I spend most of my time photographing in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area but I have traveled all over to deliver bright, fun, and timeless photos to joyful clients. Let’s talk about how we can capture life’s best moments together!

I’m a sucker for a silly pose and a candid expression!

Your portrait experience is about more than just photos. I believe the entire process should capture YOU. I love to experiment with locations and posing because I want your session and your photos to be fresh, fun, and authentic.

β€œHey we are obsessed with these photos! Melissa has been starting at them since we got them.

β€œKatie is the best! She was so friendly and I felt like I had known her for years during the session. She had great poses and ideas to capture my personality. The shoot felt so comfortable and effortless. I am obsessed with every photo in my gallery and there are a lot! She has a natural eye and is the sweetest person ever to work with.”

My photography philosophy is simple:


I want your photos to look like YOU. My goal is always to make you look your best while remaining fresh, natural, and joyful. I use a mixture of poses and prompts to get the best angles while keeping your photos candid and fun. You are already beautiful, and my job is to capture that!
