- Welcome -
My name is Katie. I am a Portland, OR native and graduate from University of Oregon in Digital Art and Design. For the past 8+ years I have been working as a freelance photographer and designer in the Portland and Eugene areas. I specialize in promotional photography, especially surrounding restaurant and fine dining events.
I currently shoot for Eater PDX, and worked with local dining club Portland Food Adventures for several years as their promotional blogger/photographer. I pride myself on taking great photos at high-end events while maintaining a low profile. I love shooting food, events, interiors, people, yoga, performances, and much more.
I also help with photo editing and web design, specifically on Squarespace templates.
Please contact me with any inquiries! And check out my portfolio pages and my blog to see my work.
I wanted to share some of the photos I had the pleasure to take at Jacqueline this weekend. They have nailed a proper Pacific Northwest cuisine, featuring a seasonal menu.
The 51st Portland Food Adventure brought us to the opening night dinner of Coquine, Katy Millard’s highly anticipated French inspired restaurant. Chef Millard started the restaurant with her husband and partner Ksandek Podbielski, after hosting extremely popular pop-up dinners around town featuring similar menus for the last 2 years.
This episode of Portland Food Adventures brings us to a very special menu at Clyde Common, hosted by chef Carlo Lamagna. Even long time diners of Clyde Common were treated to entirely new courses, as Chef Carlo brought us a one-time menu inspired entirely by his Filipino roots.
Portland Food Adventures kicked off mid-May at the warm and inviting Autentica, a gourmet Mexican restaurant right off Northeast Killingsworth. Headed by Chef Oswaldo Bibiano, we were treated to a seven-course menu full of bold and bright flavors, and paired beautifully with both wines and Mezcal cocktails.
This episode of Portland Food Adventures brings us to Roman Candle, run by Ava Gene’s Chef Joshua McFadden, and tonight featuring special Seattle based chef Ethan Stowell in a Seattle/Portland mashup to be remembered.
Portland Food Adventures started its 5th year with dinner at Adam and Jackie Sappington’s Country Cat, in their private dining spot – the Calico Room. Country Cat has become a staple of the east Mount Tabor neighborhood, and is often busy for both brunch and dinner services.
This episode of Portland Food Adventures brought us to the latest hot spot in Southeast Portland, Bonnie and Israel Morales’ new Russian restaurant, Kachka. After cocktails in the main dining hall we were brought into a private dining room, where there were tons of small plates (or Zakuski) laid out to try.
The 2014 food scene was dubbed by the Oregonian as the “year of the pop up”, and this episode of Portland Food Adventures brought us to a few of the handsome young chefs that started this ever expanding trend. Led by Will Preisch and Joel Stocks, this week Holdfast Dining delivered an expertly crafted seven-course meal in the Jenn Air Kitchen at Standard.
My latest photo endeavor took me to Salty’s on the Columbia to shoot a private wine tasting event for Beaujolais wines. The attendees included wine distributors, local food bloggers and lovers of fine food and drink, as they were offered a seven-course meal.
After a last minute request I took over photographing 13 bands within 2 nights at Lose Yr Mind Fest in October. This music festival by Tender Loving Empire was a spectacular showcase of local talent, and thought deserved it’s own post for some of the top images of the night.
