Hey There! I'm Katrina
Photographer, farm wife, mom, and the face behind Katrina Brandl Photography.
Based in Northeast Nebraska, I photograph families, seniors, couples, agriculture, and equine stories with a focus on genuine connection, honest moments, and photographs that feel like the people in them.
My roots run deep in agriculture, and that will always influence the way I see the world and tell a story. I have a soft spot for dusty boots, wide-open pastures, kids growing up alongside livestock, and families building a life together—but you don’t need a farm or cattle in the background to belong in front of my camera.
I love photographing people in places that mean something to them. Maybe that’s your family’s farm, your favorite outdoor spot, the barn where you’ve spent countless hours, or simply a beautiful Nebraska evening with the people you love most.
I want your session to feel relaxed and personal, not like an hour spent worrying about everyone looking perfectly at the camera. We’ll make room for the classic photographs you’ll want framed on the wall, while also capturing the laughter, movement, little personalities, and in between moments that tell the bigger story.
MY STORY
INQUIRE
Photographs are way more than just a memory. They freeze legacies in time to allow future generations to see how far they’ve come.
“Katrina did a great job following our boys around to get pictures to match their personalities! She is not afraid to do what it takes to get the perfect action shot or to get a smile. We highly recommend Katrina for your family or farm photography!”
