Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing...
Hello and welcome to my shop!
My name is Katherine Gendreau and I am a fine art photographer from Bristol, Rhode Island, focusing on abstract, classical, and long exposure images of the beautiful New England coast and sometimes beyond. In my shop, you'll find a selection of unique, original photographs shot by me of quaint harbors, classic wooden rowboats looking peaceful in calm water, photos of sailboats of varying sizes and type, aerial photographs of beaches and lighthouses that I photographed from helicopters, abstract, painterly images of the ocean, sky, waves, sand, and shore, gorgeous sunsets over rocky coastlines and piers, photos from Cape Cod, Cape Ann, Newport Rhode Island, Narragansett RI, Westerly and Watch Hill Rhode Island, the Maine coast, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and some from travels to other coastal locations in the US and beyond.
Harbor House Photo is my newest venture on Etsy; I previously owned the shop KLGPhoto from 2012 to 2024 which was the 27th best selling photography shop on Etsy. I sold over 6,000 prints through my Etsy shop before I reached a burnout point in 2024 and needed to step away for awhile to get my mojo back. My shop had actually grown too large for me to handle by that point, so I felt that starting fresh on Etsy with Harbor House Photo allows me to create an even better shop that's much easier to navigate for my clients and to operate for me.
For those of you who were clients of mine at KLGPhoto, welcome back to my work on Etsy and I'm so happy to see you here again! For those of you new to my work, I hope you will enjoy my photographic style. My work is often bold, colorful, and imbued with a sense of wonder at the beauty of nature and the ocean. I do also offer black and white and some quieter scenes, but overall my work reflects distinct moods in each photograph.
If you love the beach, I think you'll enjoy my photography! I shoot with a large format DSLR camera and professional Canon L lenses, specifically designed for printing photos at large sizes with excellent clarity. If you're looking for oversized artwork of coastal scenes, you're in the right place!
I offer unframed prints, canvas gallery wraps, and metal prints in my shop. I am currently still building Harbor House Photo and adding new work to my shop nearly daily, so please check back frequently! I also work with my clients one-on-one on custom pieces, so if there's an image you love but want to customize the size, print type, framing, etc, feel free to message me! I'm always happy to respond to custom requests and love it when a client and I create something new together.
I do work with interior designers from all over, and offer a trade discount, so if you're a designer, message me and let me know! I'll be happy to send you the code for the trade discount.
Why Harbor House? Well, I live in an old home with views of Bristol Harbor in Rhode Island, so the name is not a lie! My studio is in my home and I do the majority of the printing for my clients, so you're getting a handmade, personally made product by the artist herself, not a drop-shipped piece from a giant lab somewhere. I pride myself on creating that personal connection with buyers who value buying artwork from artists themselves.
If you have any questions, please feel free to message me any time! Thank you for visiting my shop and welcome home to Harbor House Photo!
