About Katie Riggan Photography

I'm a Wilmington, DE based photographer, specializing in authentic, natural story-telling portraits that show you in a natural light. I'm originally trained as a photojournalist, and I've been practicing photography for years, both as a freelancer, and with other companies. Now I'm finally also working as my own business. I'd be honored to help tell your story!

We had a wonderful experience with Katie for our newborn photoshoot! Working with a newborn requires a special kind of calm, and Katie's patience with our baby was remarkable—she never rushed the process and made sure our little one was comfortable and settled the entire time. She was also incredibly professional and receptive to our ideas, seamlessly blending our preferences with her ideas. The entire session felt completely stress-free, and we couldn't be happier with the photos. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience. Katie took our engagement photos and they came out beautiful. We couldn’t be happier. Would highly recommend her

Katie was so awesome to work with. She knew which lightings to get and how to position my family. And most of all, for my maternity shoot, she knew how to implement my dog. She was great with everything. Can’t wait to see the pictures!

When I first was looking for a professional photographer for senior graduation photos, Katie was very responsive. On the day of the session she was on time. My daughter was nervous at first but Katie made her feel comfortable. Her professionalism stood out when she took control of the session. The photos turned out amazing.

Katie was an absolute pleasure to work with for our engagement photos! She was extremely responsive & flexible with my constantly changing plans. She was able to capture the perfect moment for us without being noticed and stayed with us in the rain to take more photos afterwards. Not to mention how AMAZING the pictures came out! I’ve got so many compliments about the photos and all the thanks & credit goes to Katie, she’s a fantastic photographer & lovely human being! I can’t thank her enough and will be recommending her to any of my friends that need the best photographer around for their engagements!

Katie was very responsive and easy to work with! I had to reschedule the shoot and she was very understanding. She listened to what I was looking for and delivered! She was really great with our 3yo as well. I will likely use her for a newborn shoot after baby comes.

Katie did an amazing job photographing my high energy golden retrievers. She was extremely patient with them, and did not rush our shoot at all despite them at times being uncooperative. I would recommend her to anyone!

Katie did a great job shooting family portraits for us (including our puppy who was not always cooperative!) She had good ideas for the location that we chose and we’ll be putting her pictures on our Christmas card this year.

excellent experience, Katie was very thoughtful and managed to get great pictures even though it was really hot and I was sweaty! Great value, a lot of excellent pictures many of which I'll be able to use. Very happy with the experience, would hire her again for sure.

Katie took great pictures of our family, especially on the super windy and cold day in November. She even got great pictures of my 6 month old whose nose was running the entire time! Lol we will definitely use her again!

I contacted Katie to do our newborn photos when my original photographer kept pushing back our date. I didn't want to wait because I wanted "newborn" photos. Katie responded quickly and was able to see us within a few days. She was patient with our baby and treated her with such care and compassion. I felt very comfortable with how she handled her. She returned our photos within the time frame she gave us and the photos turned out great. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for professionalism.

Katie did a phenomenal job on my rather challenging assignment. She listened carefully to what I wanted and worked hard to help me with really creative and beautiful photos. She's patient, kind, and very talented!

We hired Katie for our maternity photography, she is really professional, she also suggested us few good places for the photography, she went above and beyond during photo secession to get the prefect sunlight for the best quality photos. We loved final product and 100% we would hire her back for our next occasion. Thank you again for your hard work, really appreciate it!
