As an Emmy award-winning Director of Photography, I film content for broadcast, corporate films, documentary and new media projects. Over the last twenty years I have worked on many top-rated series that have appeared on HGTV, CBS, ABC, CNN, The Weather Channel, Discovery, Animal Planet. I’ve also worked on projects for organizations and companies such as Inspirato, Kaiser Permanente, FlyHi Films, and the University of Colorado. This work has taken me to some extreme environments, from 14,000 feet in the Colorado Rockies to 4,000 feet inside a 100 year old mine shaft. From the harsh backcountry in Alaska to the jungles of southern Mexico.

I'll describe myself as an intermediate storyteller. Not a master of the craft, but I'm always looking for the next best way to share a story and hone my skills. I've been on the television side of news for the past 7 years and though I still work in a news environment, I have moved to the online side of it with a local paper in beautiful Colorado Springs. My favorite moments are when I get a story that I know leaves an impact on me and the viewer. Give me a call or email and let me know what I can do to help bring your story to life.

Hi, I’m Katie! I’m a filmmaker and writer who likes reading, hiking, photography, and too much coffee. I discovered film and video production while attending Dartmouth College, and it has grown to become my favorite form of storytelling. I’m fascinated by issues affecting the outdoor industry and women’s empowerment, and I love the way that film can connect people and tell the unheard stories of people doing incredible things. Video editing is one way I craft those stories, and I also work as a studio manager for National Geographic photographer Pete McBride.
