Kat is such a talented and patient photographer! She made my pet feel completely at ease and captured the most beautiful shots. I love how she can even edit out things like leashes so the photos look natural and timeless. Highly recommend! :) - October 2025

I’ve worked with a bunch of photographers and Kat is hands down the best. The quality of her photos aside, she makes you feel completely at ease throughout the whole process and really knows how to capture emotion. Can’t recommend her enough.

A super fun photoshoot with beautiful results! Nothing forced, and Kat knew exactly how to get my dog's attention without making him feel uncomfortable. The results are lovely, spontaneous photos that are currently hanging on canvas in the living room and will be a memory for life! - October 2025

- Sarina T

Our photos by Kat are truly beautiful!!! The atmosphere during our shoot was very relaxed and pleasant. Kat immediately put us at ease and was very patient with our dog.
She subtly offered a few hints for a pose or location and then knew how to capture the perfect shot, without stress and with great pleasure. This also led to beautiful results. Even after the photoshoot, there was excellent guidance with a photo gallery, and you can always ask questions. The photos were finished (and delivered) very professionally. Our photos hang in our living room and still give me an instant good feeling! Thank you, Kat, for this unforgettable, wonderful experience and such wonderful memories! - November 2025
