Katy was so easy to work with and very professional! I appreciated her very structured process about a pre-call in advance of the photo shoot. She was clear on what to bring, to wear, and how to prepare. I was not surprised by anything and that helped to make me comfortable during the shoot. It was for professional headshots, and I never look forward to this process, but Katy made it enjoyable! Would highly recommend her!

Katy is incredible to work with! Her photos came out great and she was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She did both our engagement and wedding photos and delivered our photos in record time. We got our wedding sneak peaks less than a week after the event and had the full edited album in less than a month. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for their special day.

Katy is an incredible photographer! She photographed our wedding in October 2024. She was very easy to talk to during our consultation call and our in person meeting before the wedding. She really cared about getting to know us and our people. On the wedding day she was prompt and polite. She got a lot of amazing shots of our wedding! She was both somehow everywhere getting all sorts of different angles but also very discreet and didn’t interrupt the flow. She edited and returned our pictures in a super timely manner and we LOVED the results so much. We could not say enough wonderful things about her!!

We had an incredible time working with Katy. She was professional, friendly, creative, and went above and beyond in her work with us. We are blown away by her photos - she has a great eye for capturing the perfect moment. We will cherish her photos our entire lives and without a doubt, we highly recommend her! Katy met with us in person for lunch and you could tell that her passion is capturing these intimate and meaningful moments. She was genuinely interested in getting to know us, asked the right questions, and you could tell that she takes the work seriously, has a great personality and would be a perfect fit as part of our micro wedding party (6 guests and a dog). It was important for us to find someone that we gelled with, because letting someone into our small wedding isn't just another name on a big guest list, it's really someone that's very much a part of our special day. As we explained our ideas for our nontraditional wedding - which was 3 parts long spread out over an entire day - she was not only up for it, but had great suggestions on how we could fine tune our ideas. She was great at checking in with us throughout our planning process, and was happy to answer questions as they came up. Come the day of the wedding, she was understanding that the poor weather would delay the start of the ceremony. She was the first to arrive at our destination, and helped orient the guests and was great at introducing herself and providing tidbits of bird-nerd information as we walked the trails of Smith Rock National Park for 45 minutes. This was great for our guests who had never been to Smith Rock before. She took great photos (both directed and spontaneous). Our experience with her at the park, then at Brasada Ranch, and finally at dinner in Bend was that she had a lot of energy to keep up with the hectic nature of a packed schedule, but also took the time to direct us to slow down for special moments and get us to be our natural selves. She was even able to get great photos of my parents - who are extremely shy and avoidant of cameras! We hope that this review is helpful, and understand that choosing a wedding photographer is a very important step in the process. We felt at ease with Katy, that we could trust her with our special day. It was important to us to choose someone that had a great personality, professionalism, with a lot of creativity and attention to detail. Because we knew Katy has these all, it took a load of stress off our shoulders and allowed us to be more in the moment at our wedding. In the end we were given beautiful and natural photos of us and our wedding party. It's great to have the well composed and poised photos that we had dreamed about, along with photos of those unexpected fleeting moments that may have gone unnoticed if not for someone with a keen eye. We would love to work with Katy again!

Katy is a phenomenal photographer! If you are thinking of hiring her, DO IT! I couldn't be happier with how our engagement photos turned out! I also appreciated her direction so much. Neither of us have ever had our photos taken professionally, and she made it so easy and fun for us. I loved every single one of my photos, it is so hard to even decide what to share on my socials! I highly suggest picking the package that allows you to go to multiple locations. Katy knows the best spots near Portland and we got SOOO MANY great photos in multiple locations! Katy is very flexible and patient and an expert at what she does. Being recently engaged, this was the best way to celebrate, it was so magical! Thank you, Katy!
