Kind words from my sweet couples

Katie was the absolute perfect photographer for our wedding. At the beginning of the engagement shoot we immediately knew that Katie would be a great fit for us, since she was very down-to-earth and calming presence, and did a fantastic job helping us explore different poses and smiles. We loved our engagement shoot photos and were looking forward to our wedding day, and again Katie was a great addition to our day, helping us feel calm and collected in the whirlwind of the wedding day.

I cannot emphasize enough how gorgeous all our photos were. Katie has a wonderful eye for catching beautiful lighting and angles, creating gorgeous portrait photos. She also did a fantastic job capturing the real emotions and joy on everyones faces during the ceremony and later on the dance floors. I can’t stop smiling every time I look at our wedding photos, they were such a perfect capture of a perfect day!

We’ve trusted Katie with our family photos for the past three years, and she is truly incredible. She has a remarkable ability to make everyone feel comfortable, and the photos always turn out beautiful.

Our autistic son doesn’t usually enjoy posing for pictures or smiling on command, but Katie has a special gift for connecting with him. She consistently captures genuine smiles and candid moments that we never thought possible. Those photos have become some of our most treasured memories, and many are proudly displayed throughout our home.

If you’re looking for a talented, patient, and compassionate photographer who can capture authentic moments, I can’t recommend Katie highly enough.

We found Katie through our venue. She came highly recommended. We are completely over the moon that we chose her to capture our special day!

Katie responded quickly to our ask and got us on the schedule for an engagement photoshoot. We had SO much fun. We instantly felt comfortable with her and she knew every which way to pose us. It was genuine, fun, and we felt like true models!

With Katie, our wedding day was perfect. She captured us flawlessly and was so on top of her game. There was a moment where I, the bride, had a little anxious moment and Katie was there with her calming words and her sweet presence. We 1000% recommend Katie!

I heard about Katie from our venue and decided to reach out. I am so glad I did! She had me from her first email response. Her warmth and care just shone through and I immediately knew she would be the perfect photographer to have around me on my special day. Further calls only reinforced this. What I love about Katie is that you immediately feel like she’s a friend, BUT, she’s also incredibly professional and her competence and attention to detail comes through in every interaction. She’s someone I felt I could speak honestly with, share my ideas and trust they are being heard. During our wedding, she basically managed all of us the entire time, helping us find poses that are just so gorgeous now that I see the photos, helping my awkward self and husband look so natural, and more. She is a perfectionist but at no point does that turn into stress, she’s all smiles, calm, and laughs in her interactions. You just know that with herself, she’s got high standards and she’s thinking the whole time how to deliver on them. But there’s also an effortlessness about it because you can tell she’s a pro and she’s just don’t this a lot and knows what to do. I also liked that I shared some poses with Katie that I wanted (and promptly forgot) and she made sure those were incorporated. We talked to other photographers and I chose Katie because a) I knew I’d want her warm energy around me; and b) she takes amazing natural photos, is great with lighting, and edits every photo herself. She’s to this day my favorite vendor/ARTIST that I worked with during my wedding because I just didn’t have to worry with her and trusted her to deliver. I’m so excited to keep working with her as our family continues to grow and we want to document more happy moments.

I can’t recommend Katie enough! I was introduced to her through a friend, and she’s been our go-to photographer ever since. From family photos to professional headshots, I’ve always been thrilled with the results. Katie is incredibly talented and has such a great eye. But what really sets her apart is how amazing she is with kids. She’s so patient, kind, and knows exactly how to make everyone feel comfortable.

I’ve recommended her to so many friends over the years, and every single one has come back saying how much they loved both the experience and their photos.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Katie and her photography. I hired her to photograph my wedding, and she was an absolute dream! My husband and I are both camera shy but I didn’t want this to ruin our pictures. I told her right away I wanted her to give us as much direction as needed to get great photos out of us. Not only is this exactly what she did, but she was hyping us up the entire time. It felt so special! She kept us on track throughout the day, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She was exactly what we needed. Our photos were ready in under 4 weeks which was such an unexpected surprise, and they were PERFECT. She captured every single detail of our day with so much care and intention. Katie is incredible. Book her!
