Books that feel like home.

Stacks of books on the kitchen counter. A half-finished embroidery hoop resting beside a cup of tea. Tiny hands flipping through a picture book on the living room floor.

That’s the kind of world we set out to create—one where books feel at home in real, everyday moments. Blue Star Press and its imprints—Paige & Tate, Sasquatch Books, and Little Bigfoot—publish titles full of heart, creativity, and personality. My job is to bring that energy into the imagery.

As their photographer, I create lifestyle and product photos that reflect not just what a book is, but how it feels to use, gift, or live with it. Each shoot is rooted in storytelling—drawing out the mood, purpose, and identity behind both the book and the brand that brought it to life.

Client feedback.

"Kateland quickly understood each of our publishing brands and the distinct personality behind every book (a tall task). With each shoot, she continually brings something fresh and intentional to the table. Her monthly photo drops have become a highlight for our whole team. She’s thoughtful, collaborative, and always a joy to work with. We're so lucky to have her help introducing our books to the world. "
