María Katherine Corona, to many, a photographer, to her children, Mom, and her nephews and nieces, she's Katie.

Katie is 43 years old. From England, she's of Mexican descent, and has black hair and brown eyes. She has no sisters but 3 brothers, and she's the youngest of four. She and my mother and her twin sister, María Magdalena, are 10 days apart. Her favorite song is Despacito by Luis Fonsi, since she could jam in the car with her husband and four children. I, Ellie Celeste García Valenzuela, am her favorite niece.

In June of 2013, which was four years ago, her eldest and favorite brother, William, committed suicide. She was crying for countless weeks until she came to terms that her brother was dead. Her grief was so horrible that her cousin Lizbeth González had stopped working for a while once she knew about William being dead.

Noe, Katie's okay, and she is back to doing what she does best- taking pictures. She also says that she's doing the pictures for my quinceañera this November.
