šŸ“ø From Moments to Memories: The Heart Behind Grit & Grace Creations

I never set out to start a photography businessā€”I just wanted to freeze time. My boys were growing up fast, and I wanted to capture every moment: their sports, school events, proms, and all the little milestones in between. The kind of photos I wish I had from my own childhood.

That love for storytelling led to Kathryn Renee Photography in 2014, which later became Grit & Grace Creations. And here I am today, still chasing momentsā€”not just for myself, but for other families too.

But letā€™s be realā€”no journey is made alone. A few major influences shaped this adventure:

ā¤ļø My Husband ā€“ Watching him build The Traveling Chef inspired me to chase my own passions, not just in photography but in every creative outlet Iā€™ve explored. His drive, creativity, and constant support push me forward.

šŸ‘¦šŸ‘¦ My Boys ā€“ The reason I picked up a camera in the first place. They may not need Mom as much these days (cue the heartache), but theyā€™ll always be my why.

šŸ¶ My Pack ā€“ Zeus, Zoey, Zeke, Dozer, and Stormā€¦ I never thought Iā€™d be a dog person, but now I couldnā€™t imagine life without them.

šŸŽØ My Creative Spirit ā€“ Photography was just the beginning. From scrapbooking and engraving to T-shirts and candles (because letā€™s be honest, my obsession was getting out of hand), Iā€™ve always loved making things with my hands. That passion turned into This & That Candles & Crafts, because why not turn an obsession into something beautiful?

Every photo I take, every craft I create, every memory I help preserveā€”it all comes from a place of love.

If you need a photographer who truly understands the power of capturing a moment, Iā€™d love to help. Letā€™s create something unforgettable together. šŸ’›āœØ
