Captured by Kate

Hi, I’m Kate, founder and owner of Captured by Kate Photography. I have been a full-time professional photographer for over 20 years! My style of photography is photojournalistic and much more candid and “in the moment” than a traditional photographer.  

I graduated from the College of Charleston in 2000. Traveled the world for a few years and settled back in Charleston, South Carolina in 2004.

My background as a staff photographer at a daly newspaper inspired the company name Captured by Kate.

I live on James Island with my husband, Chris, our three girls, Claire, Mary Spencer, and Sadie, and our labradoodle, Ace. We love spending time at the beach, on a boat, planning our next vacation, and having family movie nights.
