the face behind
the camera
Hi, I'm Katie Oiler! I’m originally from Omaha, Nebraska, and am currently living in Germany with my husband and daughter.
Growing up, I was surrounded by the arts — a foundation that shaped my love for storytelling and creativity.
After serving as a military photographer for three years, I realized my true calling: creating a space where I could capture life’s most meaningful moments for others.
This is when La Vie En Fleur was born, a French phrase translated to 'life in bloom.' I’m honored to preserve the beauty, emotion, and timelessness of your story — wherever life leads you.
I can't wait to work with you!
 
 
"We take photos as
a return ticket to
a moment otherwise gone."
