Crabapple Photography

My name is Kate McKenna. Although lately I’ve been increasingly referred to as the twins’ Mom. I have twin daughters who keep me on my toes and who are my inspiration for just about everything. 

I grew up in Chelmsford, MA and now live in Andover, MA. Before I took the official plunge into professional photography and started my business in 2009, I went on a quick 5-year detour through California and the internet world: graphics, programming, marketing — ulcer. A few years flew by before it finally sunk in that life is just too short to purposefully waste a moment unhappy. Cheesy? Certainly. But I’m proof you can do anything you put your mind to. I quit my job, packed my bags and boarded a plane heading to Paris, France. I spent the next year earning my master’s in photography, soaking in the Parisian culture, hacking the French language and generally putting my priorities in order.
