Katie Monroe's Style
The Elevated Edit Profile was born from nearly two decades of refinement, evolving from Katie Monroe's original Kreate Naturelle color film aesthetic into a versatile, luxury-grade editing system. Inspired by Fuji Color Film, this profile blends the timeless qualities of fine-art film with the precision and consistency of modern digital editing. Trained on thousands of hand-edited images across weddings, families, brands, studio, and commercial work, Elevated Edit brings balance, depth, and emotion to every photograph, regardless of your niche. It was created for photographers who want a clean, luminous, and true-to-life look that feels editorial yet effortless. This profile delivers refined color, warm undertones, glowing skin tones, and balanced hues that hold beautifully in both natural and artificial light. It transitions across all environments, from outdoor weddings to studio portraits, ensuring cohesive, polished results for every session. Elevated Edit embodies Katie's belief that photography should not only look beautiful but feel authentic, connected, and real. It is the culmination of nearly twenty years of photography, storytelling, and consistency, created to bring your work to its highest potential, no matter where you shoot or what you capture.
