I genuinely cannot say enough good stuff about Kate. Just a few of the exceptional aspects of her service include the following:- by default she offered us a large window for arrival time (AMAZING for new parents AND for anyone considering traveling for her services)- she limits same-day newborn bookings so that she can easily accommodate feedings, fussiness, etc. easily and without stress or pressure (amazing for everyone - baby included!)- she has the best prop, outfit, & accessory inventory!- her infant photography skills are unmatched, including her comforting & nurturing instincts for soothing baby during & in between poses- she has such creative inspiration, and at the same time very openly welcomed (and flawlessly executed) the various ideas I had in my head- one of my FAVORITE parts of the 1st year package - she followed up with me in advance before every milestone shoot to schedule, provide gentle guidance and considerations, etc. (As someone who drives excellence in execution and customer service as my day job, I see gaps in these business areas nearly everywhere — except with Kate. It was exceptional to have no unmet needs or ideas for “areas of opportunity” in this experience, and I’m deeply appreciative of her many concerted efforts to create a delightful client experience.)I could go on…..but the gist is that I HIGHLY recommend Kate for all your newborn and family photography needs! You’ll adore both her and the moments and milestones she captures for you and your family.

Kate was absolutely amazing. After a bad experience with another photographer and our newborn photo day window nearing an end, Kate not only fit us into her schedule but really spent time with our family capturing the best moments. She’s gentle and sweet and totally amazing at her job.Her studio is comfortable, clean and very inviting. She has so many different props and colors to choose from making your little ones photos just what you dreamt of. To add to her already gifted talent of photography her editing of photos is next level.I can go on and on about how wonderful our experience was and how we won’t ever use another photographer for our kiddos milestones but really her work speaks for itself. Give her a chance and you won’t regret it! Worth every penny!

Working with Kate was just great! She was so patient and professional, and really has a way with babies! I was worried our little one might be fussy but even when she started to get upset, Kate managed to calm her down easily. (As a new parent, I felt like she did a better job than I could have at the time!) She's a baby whisperer! You won't regret choosing Kate! She knows what she is doing and she was great to work with in general - flexible, friendly, and accommodating! So glad we trusted her with these special photos. We couldn't be happier!

Our experience working with Kate was amazing! She quickly contacted us back for each correspondence, and really listened to what we wanted to incorporate into the sessions. Kate also had some great ideas which really helped us because we did not know what to expect and what we needed to be prepared for. We weren't sure how the newborn pictures were going to turn out since this was our first child and this was new territory for us. Our little guy wanted to be awake for most of the session, but Kate just rolled with that and got some amazing pictures! We love that we get to see so much of his personality in those pictures, even though is only 10 days old. Kate was very professional and always prepared. Before each session she also told us what we needed to do, which we found very helpful. We're so glad we booked her for a full year and hope to continue even after that!

Kate was absolutely amazing. Taking pictures of 6 kids at one time ranging from 18 years old to newborn is a task I almost lose my mind doing at home. Kate was so patient and sweet. The newborn portion was breath taking! She was so patient with posing our son and when he fussed she could calm him. I love the no rush feeling with her because she is willing to take any amount of time needed to get the pictures she envisioning. Then when he pooped everywhere she didn't even blink an eye. Such a wonderful experience! We will definitely be back for another session!!

Working with Kate was fantastic! Our first experience with Kate was newborn session with our twins. This alone made me nervous...so many things can happen with two tiny babies. Kate was super friendly, professional, positive and relaxed from the moment we walked in the door, which made the photo shoot go perfectly for the babies as well as mom and dad! She was able to capture so many beautiful photos (including a few fantastic ones with our 5 year old who never cooperates for the camera), I truly was impressed! It was so much fun to see all of the photos and how beautifully they turned out. You never know during the session how the final product will look and all of my expectations were exceeded when I looked through the pictures. Even more fun was seeing all of our family members reactions to the pictures, there were even a few happy tears shed! Kate's personality really lends well to a positive experience photographing children, especially newborns. She was prepared for our photo shoot when we arrived and kept a positive, professional and calm attitude throughout the whole session, which was needed since I wasn't feeling any of those things. She met every single request we had for the day and didn't make us feel rushed when the babies needed fed or a diaper changed. The best part was every single photo turned out beautifully. I honestly can't wait for our next session!

Working with Kate is such a wonderful and positive experience. Her warmth and energy radiates and makes the session fun and relaxed which in turn, leads to amazing pictures. She is also very flexible with her schedule and makes herself readily available which for us like most parents, is cruicial while trying to fit pictures into a busy schedule. With Kate, it is enjoyable and easy to capture the first year of our daughter's life. Kate's patience, sweet personality, and obvious talent for photographing children are our favorite aspects. It is so fun to watch her work because she will go the extra step to capture the perfect shot. We have already recommended Kate to several of our friends and would recommend her to everyone. She is professional, flexible, fun, and takes beautiful pictures. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with her and are so happy we chose her to do our daughters photos. We will definitely continue to use her in the future.
