Capturing Moments Before They Become Memories

Portrait Photography for Every Stage of Life

Life’s moments are fleeting, but the memories are forever. As a mom of three and a photographer who knows how precious family time is, I’m here to help you slow down and capture the genuine connections that make your life uniquely beautiful.

At Katie Smith Photography, I take the time to understand your family’s story. Whether it’s the warmth of your children’s laughter, the quiet moments with your partner, or the unspoken bond with your pet, I’m here to create portraits that go beyond just “a photo”—they’ll be pieces of art that truly reflect who you are.

I believe in keeping things simple and fun. No stiff poses or awkward moments—just natural interactions and real smiles, making the process easy for you and enjoyable for everyone. And with a quick turnaround, you won’t be waiting long to see and share your portraits.

Serving Mebane, Greensboro, Durham, and beyond, I’m here to help you transform your everyday moments into timeless artwork you’ll love having in your home. Let’s capture the memories you’ll treasure forever.

Hi, I’m Katie!

I’m a photographer, a mom of three, and someone who just loves capturing real moments and real connections. I know how fast time flies, which is why I believe portraits should be more than just files on a phone- they should be enjoyed every day by the people who matter most.

My studio is in Mebane, but I’m always up for traveling to your favorite spot. I work within a 30-mile radius, including Burlington, Greensboro, Durham, and Chapel Hill. For a small travel fee, I can come to Winston-Salem, Raleigh, and Cary.

I also believe in giving back and supporting our community however I can. If you’d like to learn more about me and the work I do, head over to the about page

I love my new photo!

I needed a new head shot for my business, and Katie was the one for me. She made the scheduling and payment process easy and seamless. Then, when I showed up for my session, she made me feel at ease right way. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend her.

Working with Katie from Katie Smith Photography was an absolute delight! From our initial consultation, it was clear that she was committed to bringing my vision to life. Katie took the time to understand exactly what I wanted to capture in my portraits, and she expertly tailored the photo shoot to align with the vision perfectly.
