Hi, I’m Kylee Howard.
Photographer, storyteller, wife, and the heart behind GratitudesMedia.
I’m the photographer and heart behind GratitudesMedia, and I’m so happy you’re here.
I first picked up a camera five years ago as a high school student, photographing my friends and pretty much anything else that would let me point a camera at it. What started as a creative outlet quickly became something I absolutely loved. Since then, I’ve spent countless hours learning, creating, refining my style, and turning that little passion into GratitudesMedia.
I’m a California girl at heart, but I found a love for the South while earning my degree in Organizational Leadership with a minor in Biblical Studies from Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida. My time there taught me so much about connecting with people, leading with intention, and finding joy even in uncertain seasons. Those are lessons I carry with me into my business and every session I photograph.
Before GratitudesMedia, I also had the opportunity to work in church media, growing my experience in photography, videography, and design while learning how powerful visual storytelling can be.
But outside of photography, I’m really just a girl who loves her people and her animals. I’ve spent more than eight years riding and working with horses, so when you ask if your dog, horse, or other furry family member can come to your session, the answer is almost always YES.
I recently married the love of my life, and this season of being a wife, photographer, and business owner has made me appreciate the little moments even more.
That’s really what GratitudesMedia is about.
The little hands you wish would stay little. The belly laughs. The “YES!” The “I do.” The growing families, changing seasons, and ordinary moments that someday won’t feel so ordinary.
It would be an honor to capture yours.
With gratitude,
Kylee
My Approach
What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. I capture elegant, joy filled photos of the moments that make life yours. From the little hands of your growing babies to the biggest moments, the “I dos,” the “YES!” and everything beautiful in between.
My goal is to preserve your story just as it feels, full of connection, laughter, love, and the moments you’ll want to remember forever.
Here for the little things
From carrying dresses and fixing flyaway hairs to keeping your littles smiling and entertained, I’m here to help with all the little details along the way.
Guided, never stiff
You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. I’ll give you simple prompts and direction while leaving plenty of room for movement, laughter, and the moments that feel naturally you.
