Kacie Herd blends western landscapes with a touch of gritty grunge. Her style is all about capturing the untamed spirit of the West, think wide open dust plains, cacti and loved cars with a dash of urban rebellion. The photos carry a raw, unpolished feel, often with bold colours and filmy tones.

Her work doesn’t shy away from imperfection; it leans into them. There’s a rugged authenticity to the portraits and landscapes she shoots, where every frame feels like it tells a story of hard living, freedom and rebellion. It’s not just about the people in the photos, it’s about their connection to the wild, untamed landscapes that surround them. Smoky skies and sun-drenched hills meet grunge influences in every shot, creating a timeless yet edgy aesthetic that speaks to the soul of the West.

Kacie’s versatility shines through in her work with weddings, editorial shoots and intimate couple and maternity
sessions. Whether it’s capturing the wild, unspoken moments between a bride and groom, creating editorial
imagery that feels like it could be in a fashion magazine, or documenting the soft yet powerful connection
between a couple or expecting parents, Kacie’s photography tells a deeply personal story. Her approach remains
the same; raw, real and always rooted in the genuine connection between people and their surroundings.

But while her professional life reflects her creative vision, Kacie is first and foremost a mother and wife.
Family life in the outback provides both inspiration and balance and her personal journey as a mother deeply
influences her artistic approach.
