“I felt like she coached me”

Katie is incredibly professional, skilled and comfortable to work with. As someone who typically hates photos taken of myself, I felt like she coached me through it and made me feel good! And the photos we got back I couldn’t love more.

“My husband said, “that was fun!”"

My husband does not enjoy taking photos but left Katies and said “that was fun!” She is accommodating, quick with littles and even with their constant movement, somehow always gets the shot.

“Such a great joy and comfortable experience”

We will definitely be coming back to Katie, we just loved the whole experience and our photos. Thank you for capturing this time as first time, expecting parents, Katie!

-Yoselin

Can I just say, Katie is literally the best! We got our maternity pictures done by her and I couldn’t be happier.

From the very beginning when I reached out, I was only 13 weeks pregnant, she explained everything to me, answered every question I had, and was very quick to respond. She was so friendly and helpful.

When it came time to take our pictures, she was very kind and energetic with both my husband and I. She made us feel so comfortable during the posing, as we have only had one other photoshoot before for our wedding pictures. She knew exactly what she wanted to do, and where. Such a great and comfortable experience!

She got our pictures back to us in about a week… A WEEK! And they turned out so beautiful - my mom cried! Haha.

We will definitely be coming back to Katie, we just loved the whole experience and our photos. Thank you for capturing this time as first time, expecting parents, Katie!

“This girl is hands down the best!”

The girl is hands down the best! If you have a feral two year old (like me) and want to capture amazing family photos - she’s your girl!

The girl is hands down the best! If you have a feral two year old (like me) and want to capture amazing family photos - she’s your girl! She worked so well with my son, kept his attention and was able to get him to follow directions (didn’t even know he could actually listen ;) ) - all while capturing the best photos!

“Just book with her already"!”

Stop reading reviews and just book with her already. Katie is an absolutely amazing photographer. Her studio is gorgeous , she is so patient and so yet efficient, perfect for capturing photos of wiggly kids or awkward adults (my family has both).

-Brianna

Stop reading reviews and just book with her already. Katie is an absolutely amazing photographer. Her studio is gorgeous, whether it’s set up for a special event like Santa or Mother’s Day or just in its normal boho beauty. Katie is so patient and so yet efficient, perfect for capturing photos of wiggly kids or awkward adults (my family has both). I absolutely love that I have beautiful memories to look back on as my baby grows up. I can not thank Katie enough for her amazing work!

P.S if you cry easily, turn off your volume when you view your completed albums. She adds adorable music in the background and it’s the cutest thing ever.

“Katie makes me feel like i’m her only client.”

I said to my husband several times “Katie makes me feel like I’m her only client.” However I’ve seen her list of sold out mini sessions so lord knows that isn’t true!!

-Leah

It’s not often you find a photographer with the artistic talent AND can manage the business end of things. A lot of photographers over promise and under deliver. I said to my husband several times “Katie makes me feel like I’m her only client.” However I’ve seen her list of sold out mini sessions so lord knows that isn’t true!! She was so quick to answer my questions. Plus accommodating my requests. Life is so complicated these days - finding a business owner who can actually make life EASIER - priceless. Katie never once made me feel like a bother. I can’t stop smiling over our images. During our mini session Katie was committed to getting the money shots - with our daughter that’s a challenge! As a little experiment I had my husband “favorite” pictures in the gallery. To my shock he picked TEN lol. For a typical guy who really doesn’t show much interest in pictures you don't know how huge that is. I can just imagine Katie lays her head down on her pillow every night smiling - knowing what an amazing and rare talent she has!

“Taking photos with Katie is a complete experience.”

She knows our names, our interests, and helps us get positioned to take our best angles. I can't say enough great things!

-Abbey

Katie is such a phenomenal photographer. She doesn't make us feel rushed or overwhelemed when taking our photos. She knows our names, our interests, and helps us get positioned to take our best angles. She always has the best sets for her studio photoshoots and even sends you off with a treat of some sort. Her photos always turn out natural and light. I can't say enough great things about Katie!
