Kate Ray Photography.

I'm here to tell your stories. At the heart of it all is my belief that storytelling and connection can spark real change.

My background spans environmental education, nonprofit operations, regenerative agriculture, and small business ownership. I’ve worn a lot of hats, but the throughline has always been clear: I care deeply about community, climate, and the future we’re building together.

Now, I’m leaning fully into that purpose—pursuing a career in climate communication. I want to help people see what’s possible, understand what’s at stake, and feel empowered to act. My love for my children, the ocean, wild places, and resilient communities is what inspires me to work hard towards a better world.

“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.” – Robert Swan

For family story photography my favorite sessions involve dirt, ocean exploring and tree climbing, tears and belly laughs, pets of all sorts and most always the unexpected magic that happens when people are just living their lives.  So let's go to the river and get in the water, let's climb the mountain, let's cook some burnt eggs or just hang in the backyard. I got you.
