New Mexico Portrait & Lifestyle Photographer

Inspired by Film & Cinema

Katherine Vandergriff of Katsphilm holding a camera outdoors

Hey, it’s Kat!

Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I create photos that draw from the textures, tones, and storytelling of movies, film photography, and pop culture.

I focus on capturing moments that feel natural, intentional, and memorable. My approach combines a professional eye with a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere, so every session is creative, comfortable, and tailored to you.

The goal is to create images that feel cinematic, authentic, and unmistakably yours.
