Kate was more than phenomenal during our maternity pictures. She is very personal and gets to know her clients. ...she knew the vision I had. We are so in love with the results from my maternity session - we will be using Kate again and again.

Kate was recommended to us by a friend when we moved to the area. She did maternity family photos and newborn photos for us. We were absolutely thrilled with the experience from start to finish. She was wonderful with my energetic 2 and 4 year old boys and knew how to engage them. We have had multiple different photographers over the years in the various places we have lived, and this experience outshines them all. I typically feel pretty awkward in front of a camera, but Kate made me feel very comfortable and beautiful. She also offers client styling (if you are like me and can never decide on the right outfit for photos). This was huge for me and I took advantage both times. Can’t wait to use Kate again for all of our family photos in the future!

We LOVE our experiences with Kate, she is so patient and always captures the most amazing photos of our family - even amongst the chaos of our toddler !! We cherish all of our pictures from Kate!
We had a great experience with Kate! I was nervous about including our toddler in with the newborn photos and Kate made it so easy. She really captured the moments perfectly and did a fantastic job making my toddler feel included in all aspects! She went above and beyond letting him "take photos" standing right next to her throughout the shoot.

Kate was so friendly, attentive and patient with our newborn during our session! We showed up and he was wide awake and she worked with him to get him to snooze for his photos....Her photography skills are amazing capturing our little one, highly recommend her!

I had the pleasure of working with Kate for a newborn photoshoot, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Kate was not only incredibly professional but also incredibly patient and gentle with my baby. Her friendly and warm demeanor made the entire process enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Kate for all your family photography needs; you won't be disappointed!

Kate did a great job with our newborn. She was very gentle and patient with him throughout the entire shoot, even when he became upset. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a local photographer.
