About me

My name is Katy Regnier. I found my way into this crazy field of wedding and portrait photography after my own wedding to my amazing husband Ben. I love what I do and I'm absolutely 100% obsessed with documenting your memories in the best way that I know how. I love happy people in love, and I love capturing their smiles. If this sounds like you, I'm sure we'll get along famously! You'll learn a lot more about me by reading my blog than you would reading a bio... but just for kicks here are a couple of random facts you may not know about me:

  • I was born and raised in Southern California
  • I have been a vegetarian for over 16 years
  • I am a mother of twins
  • I love my family, the ocean, dogs, and burritos
  • I sing and dance in the kitchen


I hope you enjoy your visit to my blog...if you like what you see, feel free to  subscribe in a reader


Two little men – C&C {family portraits}

I’m still here, still alive and I apologize profusely for the lack of blogging in the last month. Has it really been a month?!

Many new posts coming your way soon. I think I’ll put up one a day or every other day for the next few weeks to make up for the slow down (or rather grinding halt) in blog activity for the last little while. Sound fair to you? :)

This portrait session was one of my favorites ever! I met Tamlyn (mom to C&C) through my mothers of twins club and hit it off with her right away. When she lamented the fact that she didn’t have any good family portraits I pretty much jumped up and down waving my arms and screaming “Me, me! Let me take some!” You’ll see why as soon as you see the curly locks and gigantic smiles on these twin boys. Future heart breakers for sure! The goal of the session was to do a “day in the life” following the family through all of their typical daily rituals and really capturing who they are as a family. I love this type of shoot because I get to see a family in “real life” and I also get to spend a lot of time goofing off with the kiddos.

We started out in jammies in the kitchen whipping up some pancakes because what better way to start the day when you’re momma’s a chef?!

After breakfast we headed to the beach. I loved how beautiful and sunny and deserted the beach was. A gorgeous day!

A few sneak peeks {Family Portraits}

My blog posts lately have been shamefully few and far between. Blame it on the crazy busy season or the holidays or the fact that my children went bananas with the time change… in any case I owe you a LOT of blogging… and it will be coming soon! To tide you over here are a few random sneak peeks from a bunch of family portraits I did in the last few weeks (’tis the season and I have a few family portrait sessions left before the holidays if you’re still interested!)

Part II: Nick & Emma {Married!}

Finally! Part II of Nick and Emma’s amazing wedding! I have been trying to figure out what pictures to post for their reception.. and finally gave up. There are too many. I can’t choose. I love them all! So instead I’m going to show you a couple more of their portraits and the slideshow. Lucky you :)

Nick & Emma congratulations again! You had such an amazingly beautiful wedding and I was honored to be a part of it!

Sneak Peek: Amanda & Steve {Engaged!}

Remember that contest I had a few months back… the “Spread the Love Giveaway“… well you didn’t think I went and forgot about the couple who won now, did you?! Things have been so crazy busy in the last few months that scheduling a shoot has been nearly impossible. Luckily this weekend was the perfect combination of a free day for me (hooray!) and a free weekend for Amanda and Steve. I was so ridiculously excited for their retro shoot and I was not disappointed! You will not be able to get enough of this couple once you see them. Just one sneaky little peek for now…
