I needed a creative outlet after working abroad in England in 2015. I was a media intern and put a camera to good use, traveled Europe on the weekends, and fell in love with the man I'd go on to marry in a gravel parking lot on a Tuesday. Though I was sharing life's little highlights and getting praise online, I wanted to share about some harsh realities I was also facing back home. And so, The Humble Lion blog was born. I wrote as boldly as I pleased, and people seemed to appreciate my candor. That blog opened doors for me I could've never imagined. I built an incredible, tight knit community from my little corner of the web. It remained my hobby for two years. I moved around the globe one more time in 2017 to work in marketing on the sunny Gold Coast of Australia. When my contract ended in 2018, I dove head first into freelance photography full-time. That little online community I built? Well, it turned into what you see today.
I'm a Denver Brand photographer for daydreamers & go-getters. Let's create images with confidence, humility, & strategy.

I believe powerful imagery should be more attainable for more people. This is why I create stock that doesn't suck.

I believe with my whole being that confidence and humility are not mutually exclusive traits. I lead with both.
02 — I believe in creating valuable relationships so your experience during our time together is just as magical as the images we will make.
I believe each business is as unique as the individuals running them. You deserve the effort it takes to create images that truly reflect your brand.

My Story
and what I can do for You!
What I do
For me, there's no better feeling than seeing someone beaming with confidence after a shoot and creating a recognizable edge in their business. My clients walk away feeling fiercely proud of their work and themselves and pave the way for others to do the same.

SHE CAPTURED MY STRENGTH, MY FIRE, MY FEISTINESS, MY POWER, MY RENAISSANCE. I LOOK AT THESE PHOTOS, AND AFTER SPENDING TWO YEARS NOT SEEING ‘ME’, I SEE MYSELF. IN HER BEST FORM EVER. THANK YOU, KAS, FOR BRINGING HER BACK OUT."
"I cried when I saw the photos. I don’t know how she did it, but she truly captured everything I felt and more.
Emily Duncan
After looking at the pictures from our session, there were a few words that came to mind: real, approachable, and laughter. I ended up using those words to build my entire brand and blog. I cannot explain how grateful I am for KaS and her creativity, she truly is one of the most talented photographers I’ve ever worked with. I recommend her to everyone and anyone!”
"KaS helped me brand my blog through the photos she took of me.

Things I love:
I'll kiss your dog right on the lips
I take my bourbon straight
I'm quietly competitive

I have a thick Kentucky accent that I tend to dial down
What you should know
I'm an ever-curious, rarely content, nomadic homebody. While I reside in Denver, Colorado, I'll always take pride in my rural Kentucky roots. My idea of a good time is swaying to the rhythms of live music next to my ginger-bearded better half or diving head first into open water.
