Who We Are

  • Photography
  • Design

Where creativity + detail meet that natural raw emotion. At Freebird Photography we have a love affair with images that capture the essence of who you are, what you do, or what you love. We start our mornings off with a large cup of coffee, two shots creative and one splash of individualism, photo editing software for brains and endless ideas. We work closely with our clients and pride ourselves on our very open communication. Whether it's over email, text, coffee or a cocktail—share your wants and ideas with us and we'll help freeze-frame them through our photo shoots. We specialize in wedding and engagement photography, maternity, family and children photography, corporate event, food and commercial photography, or simply just a celebration of life.

Katelyn McNamara

Katelyn McNamara Owner + Lead Photographer

Wearing skinny jeans, peace signs and pearls, this 5-foot-1 New England native found her passion in photography.

Getting her degree at Colorado State University, she quickly fell in love with the culture that the state had to offer: hiking, coffee shops, arts and music, life long friends, new opportunities and a lifestyle that was a welcomed change in pace. After graduating in just three years, this Freebird wasn't quite ready to start her journey home. Drawn to the south by the charm of thick accents, palm trees and beaches, she started working at an agency, learning the ropes in everything business-branding.

As the old adage goes, days turned into weeks, weeks into months and months into years. By now, the entrepreneurial spirit was running through her veins—but she was homesick. Heading back home to New England, she founded Freebird and falls in love with capturing moments behind the lens with every session and event.

Marissa Gomes

Marissa Gomes Assistant Photographer

A graduate of University of New Hampshire, New England is no foreign place to this chick. Hitting the slopes in the winter and the water in the summer, Marissa lives and loves everything Northeast.

This reality TV junkie and Words with Friends expert has a love affair with—well, food (hold the beets, grape leaves and raw oysters please 'n thank you!). When it came time to take on a second shooter, there was no doubt in Kate's mind that Marissa was the perfect fit.

She's social, super approachable, creative, great behind a lens, and really exhibits what the Freebird brand and philosphy is all about. Together Kate and Marissa can be seen working the floor together during weddings and other large scale events.
