"I had so much fun at my session with Kate! I've never booked a professional photoshoot, so before arriving I was very nervous, but all of that went away when we began! She was so kind and professional with us, even though I had a million questions. When we received our photos, we were so very happy with them! I cannot recommend her enough!"
