Katy Daixon Wimer is a southern Wisconsin soul dweller, poet, and photographer dedicated to reconnecting people to themselves and the natural world.
Capturing who you are, telling your story, and guiding you toward a deeper connection with yourself light me up. That’s where the magic happens.
I’m a nature lover, tarot reader, and a sappy dork who's in love with love and deep connections.
You'll usually hear me talk about self-care and feelings. My favorite part of the day are those magic morning hours before the world wakes up where I get to reflect and breathe. When I’m not shooting your portraits, you can catch me stretching out on my yoga mat, doing tarot/oracle card readings for insight and guidance, or taking an abundance of nature photos on Instagram, prints of which you’ll often find for sale at The Book Teller!
I believe that love deserves the spotlight, women are full of power, kids should be captured as they are—smiles, tears, laughter, or blurred in movement, that capturing you and your family in the NOW year after year tells the story of your life, that self-reflection (whether via journaling or through noticing yourself in a portrait) are the best gifts you can give yourself, and that life, even in all its stickiness, is beautiful.
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
- Khalil Gibran
Now for the drier, but equally important stuff:
Katy graduated from the University of Wisconsin Whitewater with a degree in Creative Writing. She worked as a photographer for another company for eight years while pursuing her freelance photography. In 2011, she registered her business as an official LLC and has built what stands today.
In addition to photography, Katy has self-published 3 collections of poetry, sells journals with handwritten prompts, is Director of Content & Communications at Discover Whitewater, Board President for the Whitewater Grocery Co., and a continual advocate for anti-racism.
Finally, recent years have brought Katy to the healing arts where she offers journaling workshops, tarot readings, astrology chart interpretations, and leads Goddess Circles.
