HIRE KATHLEEN TODAY!!
We cannot recommend Kathleen enough! Our wedding included three different locations - a ceremony in the mountains, a reception indoors in a restaurant, and an after party downtown, as well as getting ready at a parent’s. Kathleen went out of her way to go to each location, and shot incredible photos, even though each location required different settings and expertise. She was fantastic at directing and wrangling family members and friends, and provided advice on the best location for photos. She is a wonderful person, and got along with everyone so well, going out of her way to provide mints and tissues. Kathleen knows when it’s important to take charge and when to step back, and she also let us flag her down for specific photos with friends and family members. Prior to the wedding, she was also incredibly professional, with a helpful website, structured planning meetings, and thorough contract. Most importantly, we got our sneak peak photos the next day, and they are STUNNING - she captured so many details, intimate moments, and thoughtful shots. Her process is clearly intentional, and the outcome has made us misty eyed! DO NOT HESITATE to hire this incredible woman!!!

Absolutely incredible! Highly recommend.
Kathleen is AMAZING. She did our engagement photos and I cannot speak highly enough. She was so cool to work with, had a great eye for location, and was so fantastic with coordinating our forever-awkward selves to get some incredible shots. We both get very anxious on camera but she made the whole experience so safe and welcoming that we ended up having a so much fun. Her communication throughout has been absolute top tier - we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way - and the end result is beyond our wildest dreams. 10/10, cannot recommend her enough and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

Artistic, thoughtful, and FUN!
Kathleen is not only an incredible artist but an incredible person. She is incredibly thoughtful and has an amazing eye for documenting her couples in a unique and creative perspective. Kathleen is a delight to work with and her couples absolutely love her. Not only for the art she creates, but her couples know they will have the best time working with her. Kathleen makes you feel like an instant friend, and it's because you are! I absolutely recommend Kathleen.

There is not enough to say about Kathleen. She goes above and beyond in every way, capturing pictures you don't even know you wanted until you see them. She is graceful, kind, understanding, very go-with-the-flow, and endlessly personable. She has the type of personality that makes you feel like no matter how the day truly goes, you will have great memories of it. She navigated complex family dynamics with ease, kept me as a bride entertained while my husband got distracted talking to guests during photo time, and was repeatedly mentioned by our guests to be outstanding, especially where it comes to getting smiles out of people who might be difficult to get smiles out of ordinarily. I cannot say enough positive things about her. She has become a true friend and in the chaos of the day, she is the eye of the storm: calm, steady, reassuring, and simply great company.
