Don't compromise on talent when you have the chance of photos by Kate Miller. She communicates beautifully while taking incredible shots. Her presence is so calming. We are always so impressed by her work and how painless the process was for us.
In coordinating and executing a 200-person event over the course of a year, working with Kate was the easiest piece of our puzzle. She made intimate and important photo opportunities fun and carefree. Our pictures turned out better than we could have expected. The images that Kate captured reflect the beautiful people and moments that we love just as they are, without any added drama or retouching, reflecting the day just as I remember it. If given a second chance, there is no doubt in my mind that I would hire Kate Miller Photography again.
Having family photos taken is very sensitive for us. We avoided it for years after the loss of our daughter. When we took photos with Kate, she blew me away. She was incredibly compassionate and worked with us to pull off genuinely stunning photos. She is amazing with our little kids but also manages to help our teen not feel awkward which is hugely impressive.

want to look like the best version of yourself?
The fact is, you deserve great photos now.
Then you've come to the right place.
Let me remind you that these moments in your life and with your family are precious. This time deserves to be preserved.
Not when you can get it together and make yourself and everyone else look perfect. Not when you lose weight. Not when (fill in the blank) happens for you. It is so important to take action now, because if there’s anything we've learned from the past few years, it's that we do not know what life holds ahead of us.
let's do this!
No more mindlessly googling “Seattle photographer” and getting decision fatigue from all the options. No more scrolling social media wishing you had beautiful photos of you and your family to share with your people. You're looking for someone you can call on every year to capture a big life changing moment, or maybe just a day in the life of right now.
I will welcome you with open arms, time and time again. I’ll make sure you know what to expect from our family session, lifestyle project, or your wedding day. I’ll encourage you, cheer you on when you are nervous, and make sure you feel like the best version of yourself!

Working with Kate was as natural and effortless an experience as you could imagine, even on a day that seems as busy and rapid-fire as a wedding day. She and her team were professional and courteous not only to us, but to all of our guests, and really made everyone feel at ease. As a result of that comfort, there is a candid, true, and intimate nature to the photos that I have not seen in any other photographer's work.

My fiancé and I worked with Kate for our engagement pictures and couldn’t be happier. We were both hesitant to do engagement pictures but Kate made it so easy. Communication and setting up a time and location were a breeze. She suggested we pick locations that were meaningful to us. We went with two of our favorite spots in our neighborhood (Ballard locks and the Farmers’s Market) with the hopes of capturing some of the gorgeous fall colors and all the water in the area. Kate heard us and delivered!

I'll take a photo that captures the 4 seconds your busy toddler wants to sit in your lap and hug you tightly. The hand squeeze your best friends gives you after she sees you in your wedding dress for the first time. The look your partner gives you that is so special only to you.
