What other creatives have to say about working with me…

Probably the most incredible human being I've ever worked with.

Not only is Katharine bubbly and enthusiastic, but she knows what she is doing. Her creative mind just gets it. I had a chance to work with her on a personal brand photoshoot and, let's just say, the images!!! STUNNING. My brain can't comprehend the beauty she captured.”

- Devan Markham, Bookbinding Artist

Working with Katharine was simply amazing

“She's professional and kind, and is SO sweet, helpful, and delivers STUNNING photos. I will absolutely be using her for continued photos and highly recommend her to anyone! I should also add that I was really nervous (I don't like to take pictures), but she made me feel so relaxed and excited, the shoot was so much fun! It feels good to work with someone who genuinely loves what they do!”
