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."
