Testimonial
"I spent a lot of time researching various area photographers and browsing their websites, and I found myself returning to yours because I admired your portfolio so much! Then when I asked friends for recommendations and one specifically mentioned you, I knew I was on the right track. After initially speaking with you and then meeting you for an in person consultation with Chloe, our decision was solidified. You made us feel comfortable and like you were truly invested in helping us get the best Senior Portrait experience possible. "

"Kathleen took her time with my senior and myself during our photo-taking session to make sure we had the right locations, the right time of day for the shots we wanted, and the outfits chosen by my senior to take photos- she was proud of that showed off her personality. We appreciated that she took our suggestions and listened to what we wanted as well as her expertise in the right lens and the right lighting for the situation. You can tell how she takes pride in her work! "

"Kathleen was the absolute best photographer! She helped me come out of my shell with these photos and feel more confident with myself. She told jokes, said funny things, and more to bring out my authentic self in these photos. She was so helpful with locations and poses as I had no idea what I was doing. I will definitely come back to Kathleen when I need another shoot done! Kylan Tovar-Johnson"

"Kathleen is a warm, welcoming photographer who goes the extra mile for her clients. She assisted with clothing and location choices in the weeks leading up to the shoot. On the day of the session she was able to bring out the best in my daughter. We are grateful for our time and her patience with us."

"My daughter was very nervous to take her pictures, but after just minutes with Kathleen she became herself! We traveled many states just to work with Kathleen, as I had been following her work for many years, and she exceeded my expectations with her talent and warmth "

"My family’s senior sessions with Kathleen were outstanding. Had I not experienced them first-hand, I wouldn’t have believed formal photo shoots could be stress-free! Kathleen has a gift for putting people at ease and bringing forth their authentic selves to shine through in their photos. I knew without a doubt that my kids’ senior photos would be keepsake treasures, but I didn’t expect the photo sessions themselves to be the fun, lasting memories they are. Truly delightful experiences! "

"Kathleen Murphy is one of the most unique photographers out there. She's extremely flexible with scheduling and puts her best foot forward to produce the best products for her clients. She is easy to talk to and never fails to make a client smile and laugh for a genuine photo. She suggests the best poses for each setting and hypes up her clients after every shot. Her editing skills and image quality are one of a kind because she tailors the mood of the image to the client's desire. "

"Kathleen did a wonderful job with everything. She is fun and really knew her stuff. She tapped into my son's personality right away and really did an awesome job capturing his personality. She offered suggestions on clothing, which was really helpful. My son called me shortly after the session and thanked me and said he had an awesome time. This coming from a kid who didn't even want graduation pictures, that's HUGE! Everything about this experience was top notch. Thank You Kathleen!!"

Everything looks AH.MAZ.ING Kathleen!!! And the best part - watching Morgan LIGHT UP as I hung the framed canvas on the wall and she looked through everything and giggled with delight. She said that picture on the wall is her favorite picture to date. Not enough words to fully articulate my gratitude and love of what you created!

“We are repeat customers, which really says it all. But there is more to say. Kathleen took time ahead of the session to get to know our goals. She helped us pick just the right locations and offered wardrobe tips. At the session, Kathleen knew how to put John at ease. The occasional goofy face and smolder face poses did the trick! We had so much fun and came away with great memories and photos we will treasure forever!"
