My outdoor branding session was greeted with pouring rain. Kat suggested her indoor studio, despite it being brand new and unfinished. We met and she quickly moved a few things around, set up her equipment, and made me feel confident. She was specific, encouraging, and helpful in suggesting poses that worked best for my style. Her turnaround time is also incredible. I also want to mention that I asked her to alter her editing style dramatically from the work ... |  Tessa (At-Home Family Session - Columbia, MO)Kat does a great job with all my family pictures!
