The Working Photographer:
Behind the Lens with Katherine Mathis
Katherine Mathis knows a thing or two about photography, and equally important, she understands the value of connecting with her subjects. Katherine runs Photography By Katherine, an up and coming full service studio in Grove, Oklahoma, specializing in high school senior portraits. “We want every senior to leave her session feeling confident and beautiful and to feel that the portraits we’ve taken represent her well.”
Katherine has always loved photography, but it was upon graduating from John Brown University that she decided to get serious about turning her craft into a career. “I was fortunate to work for Mark Jackson in his studio, and I learned a great deal from him. I realized that I loved every aspect of this business and I wanted to learn as much as possible.”
