Essence sessions with Katie

Lets capture your essence

Katie has been a professional hype girl long before her time working with Bare by Brina. She started doing makeup from a young age and went into bridal makeup for a few years before she noticed a need for the lash girlies of the world and founded her own lash line and boudoir boutique- OKT lashes! Simultaneously traveling the world modelling for workshops, conferences and boudoir photographers. There isn’t anything this babe can’t do. Her energy is contagious and you can’t help but have an incredible time when you are with her. She had hung up her brushes for good and was onto the next thing when Brina all but begged her to join the team. From the first day she got her camera and shadowed Brina she was already an expert. This queen has the eye! She has been on the other side of the camera a lot so she knows exactly how you feel, how to pose you and also how to make you laugh your booty off while doing it. Essence sessions are such a unique blend because you get to hangout and connect while she glams you and then you get to have a little taste of a full experience! Yes they are shorter in time, but don’t be fooled, these sessions are packed with value! Only $100 non refundable retainer to select your date and get on the calendar!

Kind Words from Past Clients

“I met Katie for the very first time in Bali. Here was this beautiful soul that was shooting a group of women, some of whom I knew, and making them feel like queens. It was amazing to watch, and I remember thinking how natural and genuine it all seemed as I watched my friends blossom under her guidance. I only wished that I could feel that beautiful in front of the camera. Then it was my turn. Although I felt a little awkward at first, shooting with someone I had only met a few minutes before, it didn’t take long before I could feel myself relax, open up and become completely immersed in the experience. Gone was the self-doubt. Gone was the self-conscious rhetoric that had been zinging through my brain. I felt GORGEOUS and … well … free. Over the next week I got to know Katie and shot in several different locations with her. No matter where we were or what we were doing, she put me completely at ease and coaxed me out of my comfort zone a little more with every location, every pose, every shot. I didn’t think anyone would be able to capture the same beauty in me that Brina does, but Katie did. Her innovation, encouragement and genuine caring allowed me to be in the moment and ENJOY it. Not only that, but she made me feel like a valued member of the retreat, in spite of the fact that I injured myself not once, but twice and was unable to participate in some of the activities that were a part of the retreat. I not only gained a photographer; I gained a friend. It was a remarkable experience, and I can say without hesitation that if you are thinking about a shoot with Katie… JUST DOIT! You won’t regret it, that’s for sure.” - Kelli

"Katie was so great. I feel like we vibed well together and she made me feel like such a goddess. The energy she brought was so fantastic for making me feel like the hottest queen! It was great to also have her do my makeup and have a bit of a warm-up period together” - Courtney

"The minute you walk in the studio Katie greets you with kindness and warmth. Your nerves instantly melt away. My session was so fun I didn’t want it to end honestly. We laughed the whole time during hair and makeup. It was so easy to open up to Katie, I felt like I was just hanging out with a long time friend. I loved everything about the experience, it was well worth the money before even seeing the photos. Once I saw the photos I was hooked, ill be coming back every few months for this magic. Thankyou for sharing your gifts with the world, every women needs to have a session with Katie and The Bare by Brina Team” - Kate
