About

Hey there! I’m Kate.

Hi, my name is Kate. I’m a born and raised New Englander that always needs to be busy doing something. I live on the North Shore with my husband, 16mos. old son and our two rescue dogs, Gretta and Luna.

Before making the full-time leap into Freebird I worked in advertising, managing everything from day-to-day operations to strumming up new, creative tag-lines and campaign ideas. After three years of doing the double full-time job juggle, I made the move into self-employment in 2017. Seven years all-in and life has been something like a dream for me. Sure, working weekends isn't for the faint of heart, but for me right now in life--the juice is well worth the squeeze.

I get to work with clients and their favorite people on their best days ever-- Does it get sweeter than that?

Thinking back to my first shoot ever, I remember being immediately fixated on playing with the natural light through a lens. Fast-forward nine years and my love for light has turned into a complete obsession. When I'm behind the camera and I'm chasing good light with a couple or family, I find myself riding this creative high. You'll see! ;)

July 9 Wedding

Working with Kate from Freebird was an absolute dream. From our engagement photo session we knew we loved her but she really blew us away on our wedding day. We got married in downtown Boston and the city was extremely busy as we went out to take pictures, Kate managed to stay calm, focused and keep our entire wedding party on task for every single picture. She scoped out multiple location shots for us prior to our wedding day and we only have our sneak peek back but we can already tell that the pictures are going to be perfect. Kate is such an amazing and sweet person and she made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She was flexible as multiple family members were asking her to take pictures and our entire wedding parties and families just loved her. We are so happy we hired Freebird to capture our wedding day and if you’re considering anyone else we would highly recommend choosing Freebird. Kate is truly such a gem and we are so happy we chose her!

Hands down, the best

Kate is absolutely incredible. When we first started tackling wedding planning we started with finding a photographer. Kate's work is HANDS DOWN the best. We knew instantly that we needed to work with her and have her capture our special moments at our wedding. Kate is not only incredibly talented but she is a genuine, kind, compassionate woman. She was extremely supportive throughout the wedding planning process (hello COVID pandemic) & provided so much calmness during a crazy time. My family & friends LOVE Kate, as do my husband and I :) We cannot wait to continue our relationship/friendship with Kate and we are looking forward to family sessions when the time comes.

Thank you, Kate! We love you!!

Perfect Eye Behind the Lens

Freebird Photography (aka Kate) is extraordinary. Kate shot our engagement/save the date pictures and covered our entire wedding. It is hard for me to find the words to describe her eye behind the lens. Kate is able to find every single perfect angle at the perfect light and at the correct moment. We have wedding photos that we are going to gush over for the rest of our lives. Not only is her work unbelievable, her personality will want you to take her home with you. She is so kind, professional, fun and by the end of the shoot you feel so comfortable, you wish there was more time. There is no one else I would trust to capture the important memories. We are customers for life. Thank you so much Kate. You are phenomenal.

Amazing vendor!

We are SO happy that we chose Kate as our photographer. We first met Kate over a year ago when she shot our engagement photos and we instantly knew how amazing she was! My husband and I felt so comfortable and the pictures turned out great. On our big day, Kate was amazing. She worked so well with our families and even helped bustle my wedding dress! I've received many comments from family and friends telling me how friendly and personable Kate was. We received a few sneak peeks the day after our wedding and are eagerly awaiting the rest!

Kate is the best!!!!

I knew I wanted Kate to photograph my wedding before I even knew where I wanted to get married! She’s an amazing person, she’s kind and has an eye for detail. She is SO good at this it’s crazy. A day after our wedding she already sent me a few sneak peek photos and I literally couldn’t stop looking at them. If you want photos that you’ll cherish forever and ever... hire Kate!!!

Kate was amazing in every way! Friends and family are not only still talking about the amazing photos, but how much they loved Kate! She truly became a friend throughout the wedding planning and was so much fun to spend time with during the reception! There is no doubt I will be looking for any excuse to get photos taken in the future in order to spend more time with her!

When you trust your vendors, you can rest assured that nothing will falter on your special day. The moment we met with Kate at Freebird Photography, we knew that not only would we have the most beautiful photos from one of the most important days of our lives, but that we would end the evening with a long time friend.

Our package included an engagement session which we did a little under a year prior to our wedding in Portsmouth, NH. Kate was there early, as she scouted and searched for the best light before we even got there. We walked through downtown for about 45 minutes and I was in awe when I received my photos back. I couldn't believe how beautiful our photos were. It was then that I realized that I wouldn't regret hiring Freebird for our special day.

A month prior to our wedding, we had a call with Kate to go over the day of timeline and photos we were looking to get on the day of our wedding. Kate was pleasant and informative and handled all of our requests beautifully.

On the day of our wedding, Kate and her assistant, Marissa, were true ROCKSTARS! It was raining on our day, and she assured me that overcast was the best light. She arrived early with umbrellas in tow for our bridal party. When we arrived at the venue, Kate & Marissa kept all of us on time, in a true professional manner, and made sure we got all the photos we requested and were not intrusive whatsoever throughout the reception. Before leaving, Kate asked if there was any other shots she may have missed that I wanted. The next morning, my sneak peeks arrived in my e-mail inbox, which is insane to me during prime wedding season.

Do yourself a favor, and hire Freebird Photography. I promise, you won't regret it! I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures from our day!

I cannot say enough good things about Kate and Freebird Photography :) Pictures from our engagement session and our wedding were all captured in such a beautiful way and will always be cherished by us. From the beginning of the planning all the way through to the wedding day Kate was always available to chat and bounce ideas off of, which was super helpful especially when I felt lost at some points, she helped me make decisions and calm any anxiety! She is an extremely genuine and thoughtful person with an amazing talent that shows through her work and her interactions with us, our family and friends. Kate and Jessie (second photographer for the wedding, who was equally as awesome as Kate and so friendly) made everyone in and at the wedding feel extra comfortable in front of the camera. It was FREEZING outside for our first look and wedding party pictures but they made the time fly by and got some of my favorite pictures from this time (even though it is impossible to pick favorite pictures from the huge amount that Kate quickly gets back to you!). We have received numerous compliments and praise on all of the pictures and I smile when looking at every single one of them :) You cannot go wrong with Freebird Photography…the absolute best and our definite for any future photography needs!

Not sure where to begin! Kate was amazing!!! We were so lucky to have found her. She was not only an awesome person and fun to work with, she captured everything and more! She is so friendly and easy going and made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera including the wedding party! The compliments on our photos over everything else has been overwhelming. She is so talented and provided pictures of every aspect of our special day! Exceeded all expectations and hoping she can be our photographer for other milestones in our future !

Kate and her second shooter, Marissa, are fabulous!! They are so friendly and easy going and made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera on our wedding day. Kate sent us a sneak peak of roughly 7-8 pictures the very next morning and we could not be more thrilled to see how the pictures have turned out. We are so excited to see the rest of our photos! We will ABSOLUTELY be recommending Kate to all of our friends and will be using her in the future as well!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
