My fiancé and I were fortunate to learn about Catharine Kurtz Photography through my Facebook news…read morefeed. Once I changed my status to engaged, I began to receive a lot of engagement/wedding related advertisements and I was lucky enough to win her contest for a free engagement photo session. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience. Both Catharine and her husband were first class all the way. My fiancé and I had never taken photos professionally together so we both didn't know what to expect. Catharine and her husband were so warm and genuine. They had great suggestions about different poses and gave us guidance throughout the shoot. We felt extremely comfortable with them and ended up having a wonderful afternoon/evening. We took photos at two locations, Balboa Park and near Seaport Village. The photos she took are so vibrant and fun! All the email correspondence that I shared with Catharine during the photo selection and editing process was very detailed and completed in timely manner. I would highly recommend her if you're searching for a seasoned photographer who will do a phenomenal job and take her time with her clients. We are so happy with our photos. Thank you Catharine!

Where do I even begin? Cecilia Adalynn is truly a lifesaver and one of the kindest souls I've ever…read moremet. She was a guest at our wedding, but when our hired photographer was nowhere to be found, she immediately and graciously jumped into action--without hesitation--and quite literally saved the day. While I was getting my hair and makeup done, Cecilia quietly and beautifully took charge. She styled and captured gorgeous shots of our rings, detail photos, and stunning candid moments of me getting ready--everything I would have dreamed of and more, all without being asked and all while being incredibly kind and respectful of the moment. The photos we received were beyond stunning!She has an exceptional eye for detail and somehow managed to capture all the magic and feeling of the day, despite nothing being planned or posed. And on top of it all, she got the photos back to us so quickly! I will absolutely be using Cecilia for every family milestone from here on out. Her talent is unmatched, and her heart is just as beautiful as her work. Truly the best decision we never knew we needed. Thank you, Cecilia--you gave us lifelong memories and we are forever grateful.

We had our newborn session with Gretchen today and I was completely blown away. Honestly, if I…read morecould give 6 stars, I would. She totally lived up to her Instagram standards (which are pretty awesome-go see for yourself). Gretchen was a total professional. She did a million things that just exceeded our expectations for a newborn shoot so here are just a few: -She gave pre-shoot instructions on what to do and what not to do before our shoot (when to feed him, what to bring, etc) including driving instructions. -She has a studio that is full of everything we could ever need such as outfits, swaddles, blankets, backdrops, props, and more. -She washes everything used during each shoot. -She uses things like baby pads, gloves, and more in order to make the process sanitary as well as comfortable for baby. -She gave us plenty of options for things to use during the shoot as well as making helpful suggestions. For example, she has hundreds of swaddles and blankets of all textures and colors to choose from so my husband and I were having trouble choosing. She said "Well, let's start with this... what color are your shirts you will be wearing? Okay great, then let's stick with earthy tones. Here are some tones that would go well. And if that's the palette we're going with, I would suggest this backdrop." These things were not only helpful for my husband and I, but they ended up looking GREAT! She really is skilled at her craft. -She is both professional and personable. Meaning, she is going to go through the poses in an expedient yet gentle way, but will also oblige you in some silly stories or witty banter throughout the process. It really was enjoyable for everyone involved. -During the mom&baby photos, I asked her if I could peek at them to make sure there was something I liked. She did a great job but I wanted to get an additional angle so I asked if that was possible. Not only did she oblige, but she didn't make me feel bad about it or like I was imposing. It was so nice! -She is very seasoned in this profession (she's been at it for over a dozen years) so she knows the poses, what works, what doesn't, when to push baby and when to move on to the next thing, etc. -Not only is she a great photographer, but she's also just good with babies in general. Meaning, she was the one doing all of the outfit changes, swaddling, and more. She was experienced in the sense that she could sense the difference between a cranky baby and an incoming fart or poop. This is obviously helpful in a session like this. She was able to rock him, soothe him, move his body in a way that he liked, and was careful about removing her hands slowly in a way that wouldn't startle him, etc. She just SPEAKS baby, if that makes sense. Overall, we are super happy with the shoot and although we haven't received the photos yet, we know they're going to be great because, well, we saw them taken. Everything was adorable, classy, and clean. It was just perfect. Thank you, Gretchen, so making this potentially stressful process anything BUT that!!! We will definitely be coming back with baby #2! -Natalia, Tim, and Enzo
