My name is Katherine Poulson.

For those of you who have never met me, and even for those of you who think you know me, I am a photographer, a writer, a wife, and occasionally an extremely spontaneous person. I've dabbled in many artsy things including ceramics, cooking, music, scrap booking, and much more. Some activities I love. and some—well they only happen every so often in my busy life.

Despite my constant search for a hobby, three things remain constant in my life:

1. I love my family and friends.
2. I have a love and testimony of my faith.
3. I seek new and exciting things.

Great joy comes through having close family and friends. Even greater joy is the opportunity to share some of the greatest and even the hardest of times with them. Those moments I’ve captured in photos (and even those I haven’t managed to capture) have made me who I am.

Call me cheesy, but the faith and love I have for Christ keep me going.

I always like to try new things. Sometimes this has gotten me in trouble, and sometimes it has lead to the most rewarding and exhilarating experiences. Taking chances and being willing to give it your all
— whether in photography or in life — often makes the difference between obligation and enjoyment.

I love photography because it allows me to capture emotion and those spontaneous moments that won't ever be the same, no matter how hard we try to recreate them. Photography opens a portal to the past and allows our minds to hold something more tangible than just a fond memory.
