I had been dreaming about working with Kathleen since I first discovered her and she did not disappoint! She's just as sweet as she is talented. Shooting our baby announcement with...
her was so easy and smooth. She went above and beyond to make it fun (even at 6am) and made us feel super comfortable. I wish I could re-do my wedding just so I could hire Kathleen as my photographer. The photo gallery we received was perfection and we're already trying to come up with other excuses to book her again!
Katie is AMAZING! She is so personable and makes you feel so comfortable. She treats you like you're her best friend and makes you feel beautiful. Her photography is top notch - I ...
have not been able to find a photo I don't love! She captures the love and happiness of the day. She also goes above and beyond to edit out any weird marks, etc. Katie also was so helpful on the day of the wedding! Our transportation was running late due to a hurricane and she was the first one of the phone calling our transportation company without being asked. She just jumps in wherever needed! She is well worth the cost of her services! I will be using Katie again and again for any photography needs. I have received so many comments from family and friends about how beautiful my photos are and I attribute it all to Katie!
Katie and John were absolutely amazing! We were recommended to them from a friend who has used them for several shoots. They did not disappoint!
Our wedding day was so stressful ...
- the venue and the weather were total let downs. Katie was amazing at easing our nerves and reminding us to HAVE FUN! It was raining all day, but the photos turned out absolutely gorgeous regardless. They kept to our schedule, and always knew what was coming next. They knew how to pose us, keep the crew engaged, and they truly caught all of the moments we were hoping for. We loved them so much, we've booked a family shoot as well! Highly recommend for any event!
My boudoir session with Katie was unreal in the best way possible - I left feeling like I was on cloud 9! Katie was so accommodating, comforting & most importantly body positive. S...
he directed & posed me to make sure she had my best angles. Her photos are equally as artistic as they are sexy. She was the perfect hype girl all while being professional in an intimate setting. I absolutely recommend doing a boudoir session at least once in your life, and to do it with Katie! She’ll make you feel empowered!

d ever imagine, especially for my fiance and I who are awkward and clueless in front of camera :) This was our first couple photo session (styled wedding portrait) and she was so sweet and made us feel very comfortable. The photos turned out beautiful! I would definitely recommend Kathleen to anyone who is looking for a photographer.
Where do we begin? Katie was everything and more. Leading up to the session we had no idea what to expect since we had never been in front of a camera like this. She was sweet, pro...
fessional and totally had us extremely comfortable for our engagement photos. She gave us just the right direction to catch our moment and capture the best photo.

h creative photo ideas herself as well. In the moment it feels like we're just posing, but when she gives us the final product, I've always been blown away.

Getting pictures taken with her is such a positive experience, she's a naturally happy person and confident in all she does with her skill. I highly recommend her!
