Bathtime in the Poconos.

So, you'd like to learn a little more about me!
* I love books.
* I love the color green. Really, any shade.
* My husband is a Marine.
* I'm a mom. My daughter's name is Peyton and she jumps up and down when I walk into the room. It makes me happy. :)
* I have a Newfoundland named Hank. He weighs 170lbs and lays in front of a tiny fan for 90% of the day.
* I love living in North Carolina. I love the open land, friendly people, and bright, sunny days. I'm thankful every day that I took the leap and moved here from New York City.
* I love photography. I love real smiles, not posed ones. I love capturing emotions, connections, and love in a photo.
Sessions start at $100. I offer a 15% military discount. Please contact me through the contact form or at katie.clay@yahoo.com for more pricing and package information!
And so, just like that, we’ve moved to Pittsburgh! We’re still settling in, finding our way, discovering our new town. We love our little house and my new office looks out onto the neighborhood and the leaves changing all around us. It’s a completely new life, although the people (and my job!) remain the same.
For (some what) daily photos, be sure to check out my tumblr blog: http://katieclay.tumblr.com/



This photo shoot was my last in the Wilmington area and I couldn’t have asked for a more adorable family to end with! Thank you, Browns! I had such fun! xox




I’m wrapping up my last scheduled shoots as we prepare for our big move to Pittsburgh next month. It’s crazy that things are winding down here and Katie Clay Photography is relocating to a new city! There are a few locations around Hampstead and Wilmington that I’ve always wanted to take my clients, but never had the chance. Luckily, the Faldzinski family was completely game to climb trees, run around abandoned buildings, and even take a photo in a random driveway as the sun set. I had such a blast!




You are: almost walking, babbling, pretending to read books, drinking from a sippy, eating all kinds of foods, and giving lots of snuggles.
I can’t believe it has been a year. I feel like it was just yesterday that we were walking hand-in-hand into the hospital, so excited, so nervous. This little girl has changed our lives in ways that we couldn’t have imagined. We’re so blessed that she’s ours.


We had to cancel Peyton’s birthday party because of Irene (boo!), but she still had cake!



Hello!
If you found this website because you are searching for a photographer in the Wilmington, Hampstead, and Jacksonville area, thank you so much for visiting. We are moving out of the area this fall and I won’t be arranging any additional shoots. If we already have a shoot scheduled, not to worry! We’re still on!
Thank you so much for your visit and if you are in need of recommendations, please feel free to contact me.

Just playing around with the video function on my camera. Here is my little girl eating breakfast.
Here are a few more of my favorites of Peyton from our vacation –


One hippo all alone calls two hippos on the phone…

Oh, those first moments. Those first few days. Everything is a blur. Sleep deprived and head-over-heels in love. It’s my favorite time to sneak into a new little family’s world and capture a few hours of the ‘newness.’ Bob Marley played in the background during this sweet little shoot with Miss Marlee. She’s about as calm and beautiful as they come.






We were finally able to get away this year, just for a quick fun-filled week to our little happy place in PA. Jordan grew up going to Pocono Lake Preserve during the summers and we were so excited to finally share it with Peyton. It was HOT (note Hank in front of the fan), but still such a great trip. More photos to come!
