“She has photographed me now several times and each time I realize what a gift she has for putting you at ease. Being a model is hard work. Kathy makes every moment super fun and enjoyable. I am so pleased with my new photos. As a Brand Stylist and Web Designer I understand the importance of regularly updating my online image and keeping true to the me I am today. I would highly recommend choosing Kathy when you next need business or personal photographs. Kathy is lovely, talented, professional and super fun to spend time with!”

“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 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.”

“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 has a proven process to deliver excellent results. Packages include wardrobe consult, hair & make-up with the photo shoot, and a third visit to select the photos. Plus she allows full- access to the digital image. She doesn’t place that cheap copyright mark on photos. Kathy’s photo’s was a great investment for my professional career and it felt GREAT.”

“Kathy is a fantastic photographer. She has photographed my family for over 5 years now, from high school proms, all the way through college and now for my milestone birthday!! I wasn’t super excited about turning 50, but after my day with Kathy, I felt like I could take on the world!! I am not comfortable being in front of the camera. Kathy makes all of the insecurities go away and for the time you are with her, you are the star of the show. If you are thinking of doing a photo shoot, take a deep breath and jump in! Kathy will catch you!!”

Thank you for making this such a special day for us!”
