Katie Murray Photography – Tampa Family, Lifestyle & Pet Sessions
About Katie
Katie is a New England–born, Florida–based photographer who feels most at home near the ocean, behind a camera, or spotting wildlife on an adventure.
Her path to photography began in an unexpected place. With degrees in Animal Science and Global Sustainability and a deep love for the natural world, Katie’s perspective was shaped long before she ever picked up a camera. A trip to the Galápagos changed everything. Photographing for the first time, she instantly felt at home. Since then, she has traveled from Australia to Zambia to Belize, capturing wildlife and learning to recognize the honest, unscripted moments that make a story feel real.
That philosophy is at the heart of her work today. Katie believes the most meaningful images come from connection and ease. Her goal is to capture people exactly as they are — relaxed, natural, and fully present. Whether clients prefer candid moments, gentle guidance, or a blend of both, she creates sessions that feel comfortable, personal, and true to them.
Above all, Katie wants the experience to feel effortless. She guides clients every step of the way and delivers artwork designed to be enjoyed and displayed for years to come.
About the Experience.
Every great experience starts with intention. I learned early on that doing something well—really giving it care—makes all the difference. And that’s exactly how I approach every session I create.
Whether this is your first photo session or your tenth, you deserve a process that feels thoughtful, supportive, and genuinely tailored to you. From choosing what to wear to knowing what to expect, all the way to selecting how you’d like to enjoy your final images, I’m with you through every step.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. You’re unique—your style, your comfort level, your story—and your session should reflect that. My role is to guide you, support you, and make the entire experience feel effortless, natural, and completely your own.
At the end of it all, my goal is simple: for you to walk away with artwork you truly love and an experience that feels just as meaningful. I genuinely want you to feel taken care of, seen, and thrilled with the final result.
