This inspired her to start her photography business, Tripp Photo.
“I want beautiful photos tied to beautiful memories,” she says. From the beginning, Katie has been dedicated to preserving people’s most meaningful memories and finds ways to make the process extra special from start to finish.
Curated touchpoints
The Tripp Photo experience begins long before the photoshoot. When clients book Katie, she delights them with a curated Welcome Box that includes a screen-free point-and-shoot camera, chosen with real intention.

“I love gifting these cameras because it allows my clients to document this exciting time without obsessing over getting the perfect shot,” she explains. “We can all benefit from being a little more present.” Her style has always been rooted in authenticity, drawn to moments that are real rather than rehearsed.
After the celebration, every client receives a custom mailer with a flash drive with the photo gallery and film prints in a chic leather sleeve — stunning photos paired with curated packaging that transform the delivery into something worth holding on to.

Two boxes. Two touchpoints, both curated with intention. Because for Katie, the whole experience is about capturing beautiful photos tied to beautiful memories.
A second act
The occasion may end, but the boxes find a second act holding all the meaningful moments, big and small, from the day.
The fact that clients hold onto these gift boxes as keepsakes says everything. It’s proof that Katie’s consistency runs all the way through, from the first email to the final delivery.
“Consistency is so important to my brand,” she says. “My clients know they are going to receive consistent, quality work — from my emails to my photos to my gift boxes.”
It’s that consistency, felt at every touchpoint, that grows into something deeper. The box stops being packaging; it becomes a keepsake — not just of the occasion, but the relationship that made it worth remembering.
The Packlane experience
Behind every curated Tripp Photo box is a partner Katie trusts to match her standard. “Packlane has always been my go-to because of how easy they are to work with and because the product quality is always there,” she says.
It’s the kind of reliability that mirrors her own: consistent, personal, and built on the belief that the details matter. One time, when Katie accidentally ordered the wrong box option, Packlane reached out immediately and fixed it without missing a beat.
For a brand that values consistency and quality, finding a packaging partner who operates the same way isn’t just convenient. It’s everything.
The takeaway from Katie’s story is bigger than boxes. Packaging done right carries intention, builds relationships, and creates such a strong emotional association that the box itself becomes part of the memory.
