If you are looking for a freaking eagle eyed photographer, Just. Stop. Looking. You have found her. Her name's Kathy. She is passionate about her work and gives great attention to detail on each job she takes on. I love how cheerful and bright she is, not just when she works, but all the time. She is a real pro. Located conveniently on El Paseo in Palm Desert. Highly recommended for head shot and family photos. read more

I had a blast working with Kathy to create the images i wanted for my holiday photos. She makes the process super fun and facile (in keeping with her "F" word theme). You just let her know what you're trying to accomplish & let her work her magic. And Abracadabra! You'll be super impressed! Thanks a ton, Kathy! read more

What an amazing experience I had with Kathy! I needed some updated full-body business photos and Kathy delivered three of the most gorgeous photos to me. I had so much fun with her and she made me feel at ease and beautiful. She is professional, passionate, and has such an incredible eye for capturing the emotion and body language I was wanting. Her turnaround time for a viewing session and final photos was fast and impressive. I won't put off a photo session for so long again because she gave me the inspiration that being in front of the camera isn't so bad and in fact the entire process from start to finish was fabulous. Thank you for sharing your special gift, Kathy! read more

Kathy is awesome! Her attention to detail made my photos for my website look great - thank goodness! She is cheerful, fun, prompt, delivers when she says, and has a fantastic attention to detail. Oh, and did I mention, creative? I would go nowhere else for any type of photography needs, and highly recommend Kathy and Flash Frozen Photography! read more

What a great experience to work with Kathy to get a headshot done for my business. She was extremely helpful by preparing me before and during the session. She is a true artist and is it very apparent that she really cares about her work. I'm delighted with the results of my headshot, despite that I rarely like pictures of myself. When it comes to updates to my headshot or family pictures, I am going back to Kathy!! read more

I'm sorry but Kathy is terrible and the photo shoot was almost comical and cheezy. Take a look at some of these photos. I've had better photos taken of my family @ JC Penney. Definitely not professional and does not possess the "eye" for photography. read more

Called for an appointment on a day they are closed. Kathy Rapponi was so rude that I'd never consider this business

Cathy was such a great professional. She made time for us on a Saturday because of our travel plans. She clearly knows her stuff and was a delight to meet. read more

Its True EVERYONE! Kathy is an amazing person and guess what? She is also a GREAT photographer that brings her pictures to a totally new LIGHT ! She is very patient and was able to work around our family's busy schedule. Cant wait for our order to arrive and our next family photo session. I HIGHLY recommend her talented service. Thanks Again Kathy... read more

Kathy Rappaport is an excellent photographer! She is professional, creative, and has a great eye for detail. She made sure that everything was just perfect for my head shot: the lighting, the makeup, the backdrop. Thanks to Kathy, I now have gorgeous professional head shots that I will use for all my marketing materials. While I was at Kathy's incredibly comfortable studio, I saw other examples of her work. I saw stunning pictures of kids, pets, weddings, you name it. I would definitely use Kathy's services again. read more

After meeting Kathy at her studio and seeing the quality of work in her portraits, there was no doubt in my mind that she was the right person for me. After making an appointment, she showed up at the ranch where I keep my horses and professionally set-up her equipment. Then the Magic began---she captured images on film that were works of art. Those horses never looked so good. Every expression and every movement was just perfect. Head shots that take your breathe away, when looking at the picture and staring into my mares eyes, you can almost see her sole. She took some great shots of the dogs too. Kathy---I want to Thank You for your time, energy and professionalism and for preserving my memories so I could look at them every day. Keep up the good work. JC read more

Not only does Kathy do wonderful portraitures, whether it be you, your family, pets and/or objects...I found her creative and amazing techniques that were displayed at an art exhibit of her travels through Italy and Europe to be such pieces of artwork, that I'd love to have her work mixed in with art I have in my house already! I couldn't stop looking at them and marveling in their beauty! We all think of personal photographs...but consider her work as pieces of artwork to have in your home or place of work, as well! Kathy your work just is alive and so beautiful! I'd recommend everyone to contact her if any kind of photography is needed! read more

Kathy is a true gem! She really is passionate about her craft. This was evident from when I initiated contact with her. She instantly made me feel at ease and that my needs were important. I had a little snafu with my hair (didn't like the way it looked). Kathy sensed this and postponed the shoot so I could go to my salon and get my hair right! A wonderful, warm and super talented photographer. read more

I met Kathy at a fintech conference in Indian Wells and she did a fantastic job with my headshot. I was so grateful for her service and the photos came out fantastic. Highly recommend her work to take your LinkedIn headshot to the next level! read more

It's difficult to find a high end photography studio that not only will capture your precious family, but also welcomes your pet(s). I wanted to have a sitting for my dog, who is half Rottweiler and a big boy. I thought my only choices would be to pay outrageous fees for a pet photographer, or go to a mall store with typically substandard people behind the camera. If I was to go that route, I was concerned that, because of his breed and size, that I would have to arrive after hours, as I had to for my 2 collies ( one a 4 month old pup) because the store manager there believed my collies would scare their customers. Kathy welcomed my dog into her studio. Once there, I not only saw beautiful photographs of dogs, but also lovely location and in studio photographs of people. When I returned to her studio ( at MY convenience), to choose which poses I liked, it was apparent that Kathy not only photographed my dog, but also was able, during the sitting, to learn the " essence" of River. She could pinpoint which poses were true to his personality almost as well as I could. Kathy was able to find a great framing idea for me, so that I could have more than one pose at an affordable price. My profile photo was taken by her in her studio. One of the best photos EVER taken of me. Everyone loves it!!! read more

I contacted Kathy to get some head shots done. She returned all emails and phone calls the same day. She made me feel very comfortable and the final product was awesome! Look forward to going back with my family :) read more

Kathy was amazing in creating spectacular photos of me. I went to her for a head shot and full body shots. She helped me choose what to wear for the shoot and she took pictures of me both at her studio and in a lovely near by park. She was so patient and she made the process easy and fun. I met with her shortly after my photo shoot to choose pictures. My photos were so beautiful! I am so happy and so satisfied with her work. Anyone who is looking for beautiful and creative photos really must give her a call. Thanks Kathy! Beth read more

We did a Pregnancy Portfolio with Kathy and our experience with her was great and we had a Quality final product delivered. Kathy has a lot of patience and she waits for the right time to click the pics. We did an outdoor shoot and she made sure that the light was perfect in each of the location. She discusses each and every aspect of the shoot including what to wear and what not to wear, Showing some of her previous works , Suggesting what is good for you and also she explained each and every step of the process. She known what is the best time to shoot the photos and she was there on the dot. The follow up meetings were also on time and our Products were delivered on the day it was promised. Overall a GREAT Experience. read more

I went to Flash Frozen Photography for professional headshot. I walked into the studio stressed and nervous especially since I think I'm not photogenic. Kathy quickly made me feel comfortable and at ease. She gave great direction for posing and posture. Most importantly she made it fun! I got my headshots today and I am very happy with the results. I would definitely go back for professional photography. read more

Kathy has the best professional approach: she makes you comfortable and then takes stunningly good shots -- and her use of light is incredible. We wanted a family portrait and not only did she give us a huge range of choices, she guided us through the selection process afterwards. She also uses an extremely professional make-up artist, Laura, who made my daughter and I feel like movie stars. Whatever you need: head shots, family shots, pets -- Kathy can do it all. She has a real love for her work and it shows. read more

Working with Kathy was a fantastic experience! I had put off getting my professional headshots for my website for too long. I hate being photographed. Kathy made the entire experience simple and successful! I am very happy with the photos and am not typically a fan of my pictures. read more

Kathy is fantastic! We took our puppy in for his portrait shots and she caught his personality so well! We've got memories for years to come now, and it felt so safe with everything that Kathy did for COVID precautions, too! read more

Kathy is very professional and east to work with. She allows the true you to come out in every photo. She is very versatile and captures the very essence of what you want to portray in the photo. I highly recommend Kathy for professional business photos, your pet, portraits, you name it! She was also great in following up and walking me through the proofing and selection process. I also loved the location of her studio. Great for indoors as well as outdoor shots. Great job Kathy and Flash Frozen Photography!! read more

I adore CATHY and can't wait to work with her! She spent a hour with Me at our first Meeting in what as I can only describe as fabulous collaboration! Our first shoot is coming up and I'll repost them about our results! read more

Kathy's photography studio is a relaxed environment. I got a business head shot done and she nailed it first time!! I thought I would be in there an hour and I was in & out. She provided me with all the different sizes needed for websites, facebook and Linkedin. I wanted to stay and get a glamour shot with one of the many settings and costumes she offers. That will be next! read more

All I can say is that whatever Kathy points her camera at ends up looking spectacular. My head shots - for my business and Website - were right on the money. I've been told by colleagues and friends alike that these were the best images they've ever seen of me. I've also had Kathy do a portrait session of myself with my wife and another of our Granddaughters...all resulting images were just amazing. I've even had Kathy photograph a number of product and location shoots for my business, and again she flat-out delivered the best images I could have hoped for. She's a true professional...highly recommended. read more

I just experienced my first professional photo shoot with Kathy. I felt incredibly comfortable with her. She made it easy for me to feel relaxed and free. I went with more of a Artsy feel for my Boudoir photos and I absolutely LOVE them. She also took a few of my puppy Cheeky mama and I can't stop looking at the cuteness that she was able to capture. I will definitely be sending ALL my clients and friends her way. read more

Kathy Rappaport is Awesome!! She is professional, friendly and an excellent photographer. I was looking for a photographer in the area to do headshots for my son. She had great reviews and when I went to meet with her, we fell in love. She took her time with my son, he loved her (he is 8) made it fun for him too, and most of all the pictures turned out great!!! All of them.... too hard to choose, so I'm letting the manager and agent do that...or else I would get everyone. I have never had head shots done where having to only chose two photos was soooo hard. We are going back to do our Christmas pictures and for sure she will now be our family photographer. ;) Also if you have pets and want to have them done, check out her website... wow!! In her studio too, the pictures were amazing. Oh and I can't forget the wonderful Ziggy, she brought him for my son to meet.... he is adorable.. If you want great pictures and have fun while doing it, see Kathy at Flash Frozen Photography!! Amazing!!! read more

I recently used Kathy to have my head shot taken. I wanted to use it for my Facebook biz page, my website and for my business cards. I had already heard a lot of great testimonials about her and I thought it was better than just going to any photographer. I was so glad I did. Her studio was warm and friendly, as well as clean and filled with all different examples of her work. I was immediately impressed. She had a room to change in as well as everything I might have needed to get ready. She asked me what I needed the head shot for and gave me tips for the best photo. When the product was finished, she added her suggestions for what would be the best shot and I am glad I followed her advice. If you want quality work, go to a pro like Kathy. She provided me with the jpeg's to use for both print and the web. She was fun to work with, she made me feel comfortable and helped me every step of the way. I am in the beauty business and she made sure that my picture represented me in the best possible manner, using the best techniques! I strongly recommend her for all your photography needs. p.s. I saw several photos of animals that were unbelievable!!!! read more

Had a great head shot done, complete with a makeup artist!

What an amazing place!! I was there today for a couple of headshot and I can't believe how awesome the whole experience was! From the time I got there until the time I left, I felt very comfortable and relaxed. Kathy did an amazing job making sure she got exactly the right shot. I am thrilled and can't wait to use this business again. read more

Having no prior professional experience with headshots I didn't know what to expect when I saw Kathy last week. I was nervous, anxious and running SUPER late. She was courteous, calming and uber professional. I'm looking forward to using Kathy again for any special events that arise and I won't hesitate to refer her. If you, or someone you know, needs a photographer - - look no further!! read more

I had a terrific experience with Kathy, who is dedicated to making sure the photos she takes suit your needs (professional, glamorous, casual). She's very good. She has an easy manner, a professional demeanor, and a real eye for what not only looks good but looks NATURAL, not forced or fake or inappropriate. She put me at ease immediately. I also appreciated that she went out of her way to make me feel relaxed and comfortable, and to capture *the best version* of me. Trust the people who know what they're doing ... and she does. Thank you, Kathy! I recommend her highly. read more

Kathy did a great head shot of me. She has an amazing eye and captures the true You. She is very easy to work with and makes you feel very relaxed. I strongly recommend having her take your photo. She is very professional and very experienced in what she does. I loved my photo and how she captured the real me. read more

Kathy Rappaport is a fantastic photographer. What makes this even better is her level of professionalism. She is both fast and efficient. Thank you very much Flash Frozen Photography. read more

Check out Kathy's fantastic portraits. They are absolutely works of art. Her passion for photography and capturing the sweetness of the ballet child, adorable pets or birthday shots of you for you know who. Wow! Kathy knows the secret and how to capture it. read more

Very argumentative and inpatient. We have a cute poodle dog that joined our family and wanted to take picture for Christmas. After waiting so long, the print was horrible, the quality was very bad and we were unhappy and very disappointed. The print did not come the way we expected. In conclusion "don't waste your time" read more

I just got my prints and photo albumn back from Kathy after our session with my kids. We did a great outdoor session and the pictures are so amazing they look like something from a postcard! Not only did Kathy manage to keep my kids entertained during the entire session but she managed to capture their beautiful smiles and it is almost like you can hear them playing when you look at the pictures! I must say also that my kids both wear glasses and taking pictures of them outside can be quite a challenge as many photographers end up with a glare on their eyes. These pictures almost make the glasses look invisible! Simply breathtaking!! read more

We rescued a puppy and wanted professional portraits done. Kathy suggested "Old Hollywood" glamour shots and she was RIGHT ON! Our little man looks so elegant and sophisticated. Kathy managed to somehow capture his beautiful essence between his barking and trying to eat the props. The hardest part was trying to choose the best ones..... they were ALL the "best ones"! Kudos on a job very well done, Kathy! read more

Can't say enough good things about Kathy and her talent, creativity and work. She is thorough and took the time to discuss my goals for the photo shoot. She really wanted to get to know me and my business so she could provide the best experience and outcome. I don't exactly love to be photographed but Kathy had me relaxed and having fun (yes!) with the session. With great suggestions and an eye for finding just the right setting and lighting, I had so many great prints to work with. Highly recommend her work. read more
