Making Swedish cinnamon buns

Hello, there!  Welcome to my kitchen - which also serves as my photography studio, craft room, and office. Come on in and make yourself comfortable. I’ll start some fresh coffee while we catch up.

I'm Kate - photographer, stylist, recipe curator, lover of seasons, and all things creative.

I’m always looking for ways to slow down, simplify, and enjoy life.  For me this means baking seasonally-inspired treats, creating meaningful holidays with my family, and capturing it all with my camera. 


And I’ll gladly share it all with you

My Story

I get up everyday because of hot, fresh coffee and the excitement of endless creative possibilities. I am forever seeking ways to simplify, slow down, and create a fulfilling life through my photography and styling, spending as much time in the kitchen creating new recipes and perfecting old favorites as I can, dabbling in the garden, and occasionally getting a little crafty.

My photography and creative projects are always inspired by the countryside and a simpler way of life.  I really believe I could live happily in the 1700’s, in a small cottage with a stone hearth - but with internet access, Amazon Prime, and hot running water.  Obviously. 

I believe in following your heart and creating what moves you. 

I think that anyone can learn to style and create the kinds of emotive photos that tell the stories of their hearts - with a little bit of knowledge, a little bit of encouragement, and a lot of perseverance.  I didn't start out being good at photography - no one does.  But through years of practice and learning, I've learned to create the photos that make my heart sing and tell my story, and I’ll gladly share what I’ve learned with you.   

That's me, with my beloved camera - my Canon 5D Mark III - and my favorite old sweatshirt.

Baking is a true joy for me, and I believe that the only real secret to being a good home baker is starting with a good recipe and a little practice. Having a well-curated selection of excellent recipes is what sets great home bakers apart, and I will happily share my ever-evolving collection with you.  

I’ve always been a crafter at heart, even when crafting was really lame.  Maybe it's still lame, but I'm old enough now not to care.  

I believe in appreciating and living in harmony with the seasons. 

Photography has helped me to become more observant and given me an appreciation for nature and life’s natural rhythms that I didn't have before.    Fall is by far my favorite season, but each time of year has its own unique characteristics that I like to embrace and celebrate.  

I get to call the great state of Maine home.

I grew up in Maine, and then spent many years living in and around Boston. Now I have a true appreciation for life in the country and the fortitude of the people living here.  I feel lucky that I get to call this place home, even in mud season.

You can connect with me anytime - I can be found on Instagram, Pinterest, and by email: kate@katebragg.com - and I would love to hear from you. Drop me a line with any thoughts, questions, suggestions, or just to say hello.
