About

Shalom!

I'm Kate Davis, creator of Starplace Photography, and I’m an intuitive lifestyle photographer living amidst the beautiful mountains of Asheville, NC. I discovered photography after becoming a mother and yearning to capture the essence of the tiny souls living in my presence. My background is in dance and choreography, and the more I learn about taking photos, the more I realize that the leap from movement to still imagery is quite simple. It’s all about visual design and the human experience. In both art forms, I am capturing unique, ephemeral moments, lived by unique ephemeral beings. It is the raw beauty of that fleetingness that I love so dearly. 

As anyone who knows me can tell you, I adore taking pictures - especially of people. And children are my favorite people (though, you adults can be fun too). My camera is attached to me almost everywhere I go, and I consider my work play. I approach the lens with artistic, gallery quality portraits in mind, and I enjoy learning about my clients in order to capture them with full integrity. 

When I’m not taking pictures (or more accurately, while I’m taking pictures for personal use), you can find me playing with my three amazing children, laughing with my beautiful husband, hiking a mountain, singing, dancing, drawing, playing the ukulele, or cooking a delicious vegan meal. 

Each life on this Earth is unique, beautiful, and important. You deserve to capture and record your journey, and it would be my honor to breathe your story into being.
