Photograher, Katie Stiegler

Welcome! I’m owner of Lumenopia Photography, driven by a passion for capturing stories and freezing time through genuine connections. I specialize in a unique blend of documentary and portrait photography techniques. This fusion allows me to capture authentic, unscripted moments while also crafting beautifully composed portraits that reflect the essence of my subjects. You'll notice within my portfolio that I rarely have my subjects looking directly at me. I believe in capturing genuine moments as they unfold naturally. I want you to look at your photos 20 years from now and FEEL those moments.

As a mom of three, with my oldest being special needs, I understand the importance of cherishing every moment and capturing memories that last a lifetime. I use natural prompts, ensuring that your experience in front of the camera feels effortless and true to who you are. When working with families, I am considerate and understanding, never rushing through sessions or running a stopwatch. Your comfort and happiness are my top priorities.

As your lifelong family photographer, I am committed to preserving the raw emotion and genuine connections that make your life unforgettable. Let's capture your essence and preserve your memories.
