Behind the Camera
hi, im katelyn
I’m Katelyn, the heart behind Katelyn Rae photography. Born and raised in Alpena Mi, where I developed a love for the beauty that’s right outside our door— from quiet beaches to colorful fall afternoons. You’ll usually find me spending time with my family, loving on my dogs, planning my next adventure or on my way to get iced coffee! My love for exploring new places doesn’t stop when I put my camera down. I’m always excited to travel to new locations and would love to bring your vision to life— whether it’s close to home or somewhere new.
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving”
-Aaron Siskind
The experience
A session that feels natural from the beginning
From the moment you reach out, my goal is to make everything feel simple and stress-free. I’ll help with planning, location ideas, and gentle posing so you can focus on enjoying the moment. Whether we’re chasing the sunset on the beach or exploring somewhere meaningful to you, I want your session to feel relaxed, fun, and uniquely yours.
