Story time

I dropped out of photography school a few months before graduation. I was ready and my teachers supported me!!! 8 months later I had one of my first weddings printed in The Knot magazine. Follow your gut!
I spent my summers on Fortunes Rocks beach in Biddeford, Maine at my grandparent’s beach house. 15 years ago my husband and I secretly eloped on that beach. We didn't tell anyone for almost 3 years!
When I was in first grade brought a pack of Virginia Slim menthols for show-and-tell. Faked smoked them on the bus.
I failed out of UVM after my freshman year. I went to summer school and got my act together. Yay for second chances.
I'm a traveler. No matter where I ended up, Chile, France, Peru, Switzerland- I’d always set up my darkroom in some small non-ventilated windowless bathroom. Darkroom fumes are almost as bad as Virginia Slims menthols.
I'm half Peruvian! Peruvian mom. Boston dad. We spoke Spanglish at home.
Boy mom. Frankie & Johnny. My path to motherhood was a long & sad one. If you want to talk failed fertility treatments and loss, I’m your girl. If you want to talk miracle & rainbow babies I’m also your girl.

I'm the happiest person with a camera. So grateful for everyone who has supported my small business over the past 16 years!

Thank You

THE MASCOTS

What makes more noise than a dog barking?

Two dogs barking!

Agreed. Two dogs are better than one especially if they are brothers!

We are Roscoe & Bruno. While we don’t go on portrait sessions we do make sure that there are plenty of doggie treats in that big old camera bag. Our mom will even photoshop your leash out of the pictures. Most of our favorite beaches and city parks are dog friendly too. Bow-Wow.

If you know me, you know I love scouting for new backdrops. This is my first spring in Boston/Brookline with full-time availability in six years, and I’m soaking it all in.

Back when I lived in Dorchester and had my studio in Lower Mills, one of my favorite parts of doing on-location sessions was exploring and finding unique, interesting spots to shoot. Now, being in Brookline again—it’s honestly dreamy.

When I lived here in my 20s, I think I was too young to fully appreciate the charm: the architecture, the winding side streets, the hidden gems around every corner.

Sidewalk sessions are here to stay—so stay tuned for more pop-ups!

Happy March!

I am a few days late…the flu has made its way onto our home. It has been brutal. Grateful that my boys are pretty independent…messy but independent.

FREE MINI SESSION
I wanted to remind everyone that on St. Patricks Day I’ll pick a winner for my yearly mini session giveaway. 20 Min session must take place between April- Jun in either Boston/Brookline area or Kennebunkport/Biddeford Pool.
How to enter- Find the lobster 🦞 icon that is hidden in one of the images on my website. Send me a DM with lobster location. Winner picked at 6pm on March 17th!

I have a handful of DM’s to respond to and will get back to you all over the weekend . I am trying to limit my overall IG time and definitely trying to cut down on doom scrolling. I can also be reached via email is katherinejanephotography@gmail.com

I do love the ease of DM vibes but trying to find a balance…so for now I’ll only be on IG on Wednesday & a weekend day..not sure which day yet.

Newborn love on this overcast day! Nom,nom,nom!

Stretch!!!! That was a really nice break winter. Easing back into the season with a handful of newborn sessions. It will be summer before I know it and I can’t wait. Last summer was a total !%#+show and we are all looking forward to some fun in the sun. Also- is there a anything better than newborn baby smell. My baby just turned 10 yrs!!!
