“I spent a long time searching for a photographer that could provide amazing portraits that are glamorous, but not overly edited; Kathy Howard fit the bill perfectly. I have never felt more beautiful than I felt during my session with Kathy, I felt like a model. The most wonderful part is that I still looked like myself, and I could see myself in all of these gorgeous images. I ordered a set of prints that came in a beautifully crafted leather box, and a canvas print. I am blown away by the quality of her work, and the products she offers. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a one of a kind, luxury portrait experience.”

“She walks you through the whole process, from wardrobe, to hair and makeup, to posing, and she makes it incredibly fun. I was really nervous as someone who does not like having her picture taken, but I’m so glad I had Kathy behind the camera. I now have beautiful pictures that my children will always cherish.”

“She helped me select outfits a few weeks before the photo shoot and made me feel comfortable and beautiful. I haven’t had professional photos taken since my wedding, and these made me so happy!
If you are looking for a professional photographer for a special occasion or just because, definitely choose Kathy!”

“She helped me decide on wardrobe beforehand, her makeup artist was excellent and easy to work with, and Kathy made the session fun. I felt comfortable and confident in front of her camera and am thrilled with the results of the session!”

“The process is so warming and supportive from beginning to end. There is a deep level of comfort with an ability to feel good in your own skin and with who you are. Photography is not only about the final images, it’s what you sense, feel and interpret during the experience. It’s how you walk away knowing you want to return and do it all again.”

“Kathy immediately put me at ease, we review my outfits and Kristi with Wink started my hair and make up. With music playing, we laughed and had so much fun! This day was one of the best days of my life! I learned modeling is HARD work but it was so fun to be a model for a day. It was an experience of a lifetime. Kathy is professional, kind and sees you. She has a way of capturing who you are in that moment. I love so many of my photos and it was hard to choose just 20. I recently picked up my album. I look at it and I am in awe. I HIGHLY recommend Kathy Howard. I can’t say enough or express in words what this experience meant to me.”
