What People Are Saying


“We’ve used Katherine probably 8 times since we moved to VA a few years ago to capture our family photos every year, for our maternity shoot, newborn shoot, a few minis & full sessions. She is honestly nothing but incredible. Nobody makes my kids as comfortable in front of a camera and captures their personalities and smiles like she does and her photos are the most beautiful. She’s easy to work with, professional, fun, but above all, has an amazing eye and gift for photographing families in their element. Capturing the sweet moments you want to always look back on.

I will always recommend Katherine to friends looking for a fantastic photographer.. everyone I’ve sent her way has adored her as much as my family and I do. I can’t ever say enough good things about her and the magic she captures!”

“Katherine has taken many photos of our family over the years and each and every time I am blown away by the quality of her photos and her editing style. We have tried other photographers in the past and we will always come back to Katherine. There is truly no comparison. Thank you for all of beautiful photos and memories you’ve provided us with and the time and effort that goes into each and every shoot. You are top notch!”

-Danielle S


“Katherine is everything (plus some) of what makes a great photographer— detail oriented, creative and puts the whole family at ease. Our 2nd time having Katherine take our photos, the teens actually looked forward to family photos for the first time ever! We have had photos done in our home, at a “mini shoot” location and in her home studio and all were a fun experience. Highly recommend Katherine!”
