Founder and main photographer, Katie Rounds, is primarily an on-location, natural light photographer based out of Arizona. Katie has been photographing weddings, expecting moms, newborns, family and graduating seniors since 2009. Katie focuses on curating a timeless and personal collections of digital images for all of her clients based on their unique interactions, emotions and personalities.
First off, I am short so anything I can stand on while photographing, I do, including slippery wet cars.
I am a wife and mother to a gaggle of three little girls that keep life extra busy, adventurous and incredibly rewarding. My husband owns Back Alley CrossFit in North Central Phoenix so hours of our week are usually spent there. I am a native to Phoenix that loves gardening, decorating, organizing and dining out (cooking is not my thing).
My love for photography started while taking a darkroom class in college, where I learned the fundamentals of photography on a film camera. I am incredibly proud that my business has organically grown through referrals and kind word since the day it started.
STYLE: I strive to make all of my subjects feel as natural as possible in front of the camera by directing them into natural poses and then encouraging interaction and movement by offering continuous communication and direction through the entire session. I am continuously seeking out the best natural light that is back-lighting my subjects or filtering through landscape in the background.
A session with Round Lens will not only include those picture-perfect and defined moments but will also include the in-between moments that are candid, raw and revealing of true emotion and personality.
Through my years as a professional photographer, I have learned to quickly understand the personalities I am photographing so I can successfully capture natural smiles and moments. Whether it is a 30 minute family session or a ten hour wedding, my goal is to tell YOUR story through my images that will become cherished family heirlooms for generations.
