About Amy

Cass Lake Bemidji Minnesota MN PhotographerHi there, I’m Amy Kastenbauer. Thanks for taking a look around Amy Kate Photography. I started this business in 2010 when I began professionally shooting wedding photography and family portraits. I hope you stick around a minute and enjoy looking through these pages. 
 
Here is a little about me in a list, because I love lists.
 
My Favorite Things:
  • “Friday Night, Pizza Night, Popcorn Night, Movie Night” with my family
  • Iced Coffee (summer) + Hot Coffee always
  • The Great Outdoors
  • Slippers, the Perfect Jeans, a Comfy Sweater and Dangly Earrings
  • Homeschool family blogs and curriculum reviews on youtube (nerd alert!)
  • Podcasts (if it is quiet) and Music (if it’s not)
  • Reading, Journaling and Travel are also some top favorite things to do.
My husband and I have been married since 2008. We have four amazing kids, a German Shepherd and a too-plump kitty.  I am learning self-discipline, patience, and joy everyday. I am learning to balance being present in every day life as a mom who teaches, works and loves relationships. I’m always learning! We moved to the Bemidji area from Littleton, Colorado. We loved backpacking the mountains and adventuring with our friends, but we are grateful that now we’re closer to our families. We like canoeing, nature walks and adventures to places like “the cabin,” fishing lakes, and the ever-beautiful North Shore. A handful of years ago, Tim started Kastenbauer Construction. He builds beautiful things and finishes drywall like an art.
 
I love a quick text, a dm on instagram, or an email! Just to say hey, ask a question, or set up an appointment! Pop over to the Contact page from up in the menu and send me an email.

I hope we get a chance to work together.
