Moments by Kate
Photography
My work is rooted in the quiet resilience of living with chronic illness - a reality that has reshaped how I see, feel, and move through the world. Photography became more than a creative outlet; it became a way to heal, to pause, and to reconnect with something deeper within myself.
Bio
Growing up I loved photography. I loved seeing life through the eye of a lens. I always felt I saw the world differently than most. Some would say that was because I had poor vision, but I think it helped me express my creativity. I remember taking out my 35mm camera and taking pictures of the family dog, visiting my aunt and uncle in New Haven, Ct., and photographing rabbit tracks in the snow.
That’s the camera I had when I went on my first trip abroad too. My photography journey was not one I expected long term, but I am so happy that it is such a significant part of my life now.
I grew up in Essex, Vermont and my background is actually in Social Work. In 2014 I returned home from living in Europe. While there, I went through some life changing experiences and was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder called Sjogren’s Syndrome. Photography then became part of my therapy and healing journey. I then started Moments by Kate. I received my Master of Photography in 2025.
