LET'S CROSS "BOOK A PHOTOGRAPHER" OFF YOUR LIST
My husband and I decided to elope in South Lake Tahoe. Coming from another state it was very intimidating / difficult to find a photographer that felt genuine and could provide the things we needed. Kat & Drew surpassed expectations. We got to have our dream private elopement and couldn’t have picked better people to be a part of it. We are so obsessed with our photos and for the new wonderful friends we made!

"Katherine was amazing! She coordinated with my finance and family for months planning the perfect Tahoe proposal followed by engagement photos. The entire session I felt so comfortable! We laughed, got a little misty, and took some amazing photos. Katherine helps pose you, knows the best areas to get beautiful backdrops, and is genuinely just a nice easy going person! I would 1000% times over use her for photos in the Reno-Tahoe area and anywhere she would be willing to photograph!"

"Kat was amazing. She was on time, professional, positive, and just overall amazing. She gave us a timeline of when we would receive our pictures, and we received them right on time. Once we received them, we were overjoyed with how great they turned out. She’s incredibly talented, and we’ve already recommended her to all our friends! If you’ve never been in front of a camera, don’t worry. She’ll make you feel comfortable from start to finish!"

"Never did we expect to find a photographer that would become such a highlight of our wedding journey! Kat is absolutely amazing, not only as a photographer but as a human being! She has the most creative mind and beautiful soul. She captures everything in such detail, in a way that even things that may have escaped you in the madness of the day become cherished mementos. She and her husband Drew truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day and our engagement shoot just perfect!"

"Wonderful communication. Open to my “must have” shots wishlist and made sure we got them. Planned an elopement in 2weeks and LUCKILY she was available. I didn’t have any backups! I knew the results I wanted and knew she was the gal to make it happen. I wasn’t feeling 100% confident about myself being 5months pregnant and I shared that with Katherine. She knew exactly how to pose us and different shots to disguise the bump. And then the horrific sunburn I got the day prior- couldn’t tell in the final edits! She’s a miracle worker. She made Nick and I both feel comfortable posing and being the center of attention when both of us were just ready to say I do and move on with our new lives. I’m so glad I have these photos to share and hope to book with her again as she was open to my kind of crazy idea of a senior dog photoshoot too."

"Kat and I worked together in late June this year, where I had the opportunity to model a lehenga and other traditional Indian jewelry, all of which was very near and dear to my heart.
Kat was very professional and she had a cute baby helper to keep us some company, too! Despite having some camera anxiety, she made me feel comfortable and at ease. The entire photo shoot felt very natural. I was also fortunate to have my mom there with me on the photo shoot and Kat was accepting and flexible, and open to suggestions.
Kat’s patience and attention to detail make her an incredible photographer with whom to work. I was amazed at the final products and thrilled to see how wonderful the photos looked. Thanks to Kat (and fam) for an incredible and very cool experience!"

Her ability to make the shoot fun and enjoyable was remarkable, and it truly reflected in the final photos. I felt completely at ease throughout the session, thanks to her warm and friendly demeanor. I couldn't be happier with the results, and I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a talented photographer who also knows how to make the process unforgettable."

"I reached out to Kat after searching for photographers in the Reno area. I fell in love with her style and photos on Instagram. I feel like I have known Kat forever as she is very personable. She uses this to help tell your story through her lens. Kat listened to what I wanted, was available to help give advice on attire, and offered many venues in order to capture exactly what I was looking for. Our photo shoot lasted several hours, but it went so fast! Kat makes you feel very comfortable and guides you the entire time. My husband quite literally does not like his photo taken and he thanked me for setting this up afterwards. It was such a fun experience and the photos captured are so, so beautiful. Kat's husband was great as he helped watch my toddler when my husband and I took photos alone. The communication was spot on through the whole process of setting up the shoot, leading up to, day of and afterwards. The website with the gallery is easy and straightforward as well. Getting hundreds of edited photos back made it very hard to choose what to frame! I 100% recommend Kat! She will make the whole experience magical and leave you with memories to last a lifetime."
