Testimonials

Molly and David

On a recent trip trip to chicago, my husband David and I hoped to find and work with a photographer who could capture some moments of autumn in the city for us. Working with Katara was a dream, as she not only understood the energy of what we were looking for, she elevated and brought to life a vision greater than our expectations. We adore what she created, Katara was also an immense joy to work with. Katara's skill, creativity, and professionalism were an overall joy to experience.

I booked Katara for a solo photoshoot for myself, and I cannot recommend her enough! Through my experience working with Katara I've come to appreciate her exceptional talent and a strong work ethic. I communicated to her beforehand my ideas which were brought to life immediately and effortlessly by her creative visions. While I was feeling self-conscious and shy during the shoot, she was very encouraging and gave me great tips on how to pose and where to look. Her warm energy soothed my anxiety right away.

Dino & Tesa

My partner and I had Katara do our engagement photos and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out! We thought she had one of the most unique styles of all the photographers we considered, and that really came true in the photos. Our photos are natural, playful and a touch cinematic - exactly what we wanted. The session itself was wonderful too, as Katara had a ton of ideas for different shots and made us feel comfortable the whole time! Can't recommend her enough!

Kelsey Rubin

Working with Katara was amazing! From the start, she was quick to respond and offered many location recommendations, based on her expertise, that would fit our family photo shoot. We had to change our shoot date due to the heat, and I appreciated her flexibility. On the day that we met, she was communicative and showed up with a smile and warm energy, which immediately put myself, my husband and our baby at ease! We were so pleased with the final photos that truly captured our family’s personality and love.

I want to say a big thank you for making easy to trust you with my vision. You are meticulous with your work. Your infectious enthusiasm and warm energy made me bloom like the flower I am. I was smiling and running around with my arms spread out. Just like my vision to show how liberated I feel from learning to embrace my reflection in the mirror. I would love to work with you again in the future as client, model, or intern. This is how great the results are!!! I have a lot to say but I will leave it here

Working with Katara was everything and more down to the professionalism, showing up on time, being clear with any questions, all the way to the beautiful pieces of art she's created Katara has been the best photographer I've worked with, and I'll definitely be working with her again. She is so personable and makes you feel comfortable, along with the confidence she will give you. During the shoot she listens carefully to your expectations and needs and presents it through her work. She has an amazing talent and eye for capturing the most perfect shots. She also provides recommendations, and is amazing at giving feedback. At times I would ask, " does this look good" and she would assure and become the biggest hype person to feel your best. I truly cant get over my photo shoot session it exceeded my expectations through the roof and I highly recommend booking with Katara.
