What Our Clients Have To Say

Mike K.

Kate is so comfortable behind the camera I actually forgot we were taking pictures.

I assume most men are like me and would prefer to do most anything before taking pictures. Simply said I was dreading picture day!
Everything changed 5 minutes after Kate arrived. We hired Kate to take our wedding pictures (since COVID prevented us from having a large wedding) my wife wanted pictures in her dress and me in my suit.   The shoot started out stressful but Kate’s natural talent and hilarious disposition drew us out and instantly calmed the charged air.
We literally did nothing but had fun. Kate has a deep knowledge and knack for using the camera and everything is for a reason. If she suggest something just listen. I promise you will love the final results.  Kate knew when we had to be where and captured a perfect summer sunset as a backdrop as we took pictures overlooking the city atop a parking garage.
Kate has a true talent for capturing the best in someone and the final result left me breathless.
She took hundreds of pictures and painstakingly went through and edited every single one. The end result is too many favorites :). Instead of picking one or 2 we opted to do a wall of our favorite pictures because we could not select just one or even 5.
Amber

Whether it’s a simple walk through the woods with my girls or dressing up in the fanciest dresses we can find, our photoshoots with Kate are always a fun time for everyone.

The pictures are always stunning and fill me with joy each time I remember how we laughed and enjoyed that day.

Kate provides more than pictures, they are memories for our whole family.

Erin

Absolutely one of the best times. Kate’s great eye for composition and the ability to catch the slightest quickest moment and capture it perfectly, what a gift! Her Huge talent will go so far by blessing others with moments captured perfectly. She made the whole process so fun.

Amanda

Our family is new to the area. Our dog is elderly and declining. We had hoped to get images captured with her and our only child. Kate was incredibly professional, helpful, and patient. She took covid precautions serious, all while taking countless pictures of our family. There will never be another photographer I use for pictures of our family. On top of capturing the most heart warming images, she hand delivered prints to us. I could go on for hours about this wonderful woman and her skills. You won’t find anyone better.

Steve

Kate was awesome. Her easy-going demeanor and great eye for light and backgrounds were wonderful. She was patient with me (I was not used to this kinda thing). I could not recommend her more highly! Reach out to her

Michael

Kate certainly does have an eye for light and background…she is truly talented. I think her best trait is her ability to make people feel relaxed and confident. For those of us who don’t spend much time in front of the camera it can be very frightening and unnatural. Kate has an ability to bring out the best in people in a very fun way:)

David

Thank you so much for the wonderful session- love the pictures! The end product was of course wonderful and super useful. But I have to say, I enjoyed the session itself much more! Your conversational approach kept me relaxed, and allowed me to enjoy being photographed. I usually see photography sessions as chores- something that needs done, is good to have done, but is not that fun to really do. I never felt that during our session, and it made a huge difference for me. Thank you for the wonderful session, and of course the wonderful end product

Mark Anthony

Every year, I look forward to Shake the Hand itself, as well as the moment when it’s done and the moment when I get to see your photos. This year did not disappoint! I highly appreciate being able to trust you to capture the event, where I don’t feel like I need to add that onto my list of to-do’s.

Naveed

Kate is so easy to work with. She fun to chat with which helps relax everyone so she’s able to capture some genuine emotion. She was very accommodating with clothing changes. She was well prepared with the backdrops she wanted and our whole experience had a very smooth flow. Fun times!

Alayna

Kate’s ability to capture beautiful moments at just the right time has lead to some of the most beautiful pictures of my family (and myself) that I have ever seen. When taking family pictures she put all of my three little ones at ease which made my life so easy (imagine that!) and the pictures stunning. My recommendation of Kate is unqualified. Simply put-she is amazing and I look very forward to working with her again. Thank you so much

Kim

You captured not only Victoria’s physical beauty despite her insecurities, but also the brilliant light that shines from within her. The whole experience has been terrific, I’m really grateful.”

Sanjit

Unreal, you are the best!

Darcy

Dude, we just finished looking at pics! UNREAL! Knocked it outta the park sista!!

Sugar

Her energy and vibe were really fun, easy, and relaxing. My wedding photos are way more than I ever imagined they could be

Randall

Kate found out that she was going to be my photographer for our wedding with approximately 16 hours notice after our previous photographer back out less than 24hrs before the wedding. After calming me down and helping me to stop crying we went over the list photographs that were most important but I trusted her to just take the bull by the horns and go with whatever her vision was. That was the best decision I ever made.

Amy

I didn’t even have to think about it! It didn’t even seem like we were having pictures done it was so natural!f
