Katie is so fun to work with. She is outgoing and makes the shoot comfortable and empowering. I scheduled a group photoshoot last spring and the weather was not the best, it was cold, drizzly and windy but Katie was not fazed and made the best of it. Everyone had a great time and despite the wind, the end results were amazing.
