Lue + Annie // Chicago Engagement

So I totally over-blogged this one, but I couldn’t help myself.  It was hard enough to narrow it down to what I have here!  I loved everything about this shoot.  I loved the spring blooms, I loved the pretty light, I loved working with an awesome couple that was not afraid to laugh and let go and I loved Annie’s skirt….I may or may not have ordered it for myself immediately after the session.  How incredible does it look in photos?! Thanks for a fun evening Annie and Lue!  I can’t wait for your wedding!

Amy Jo Royall - Katie. You absolutely did not over blog!!! These are amazing. Seriously. Incredible.

A New Chapter

As many of you know, I have been working full time as an Events Manager at CareerBuilder while simultaneously growing this business on the “side.”  I love my job at CareerBuilder, I love the people, the places the job takes me, planning exciting events, the security…. but I have decided it is time to focus completely on Katie Kett Photography.   This past year my life got a little crazy trying to balance both jobs.  I’m sure my close friends and family got sick of hearing how busy I was.  I hate when people say that, but I’m guilty.  I also know that as much as I love my job at CareerBuilder, photography is my true passion and doing it full time just feels right.  While it’s hard to close this chapter of my life, I am so excited to explore this new one and to see what the future holds.  I’m sure it won’t always be easy, but I’m going for it.  After all, you only live once and life’s too short.

Thank you to everyone at CareerBuilder for your support over the years, at work, personally and playing a huge role in helping me grow my client base as a photographer.  I am absolutely blown away by the response I have gotten in making this decision.  You’re the best.

To my wonderful clients, I look forward to capturing more of these special moments for you!

Jon Hillenbrand - Congrats! You won’t regret it.
