Dan was an amazing photographer and a great guy. He was very responsive with all the questions I…read morehad and was quick to reply. He gave me a few venue ideas, which was used for my family photo's. We had a group of 12 and Dan maybe the shoot not awkward at all. We all enjoyed the creative shoots that Dan took.

I wanted to give this place a try after having heard some mixed reviews- now that it has been…read moreestablished in town for a year or so. It seems the business owner has a few different things going on- photography, apparel, flowers, sandwiches, and coffee. I love supporting local small business owners getting up and running and was eager to give this place a try. That being said, I was pretty disappointed by the taste of the coffee- the actual coffee itself tasted more like pinto beans and it was way overly sweetened. We ended up taking a few sips and then dumping them out. I got a poppyseed muffin as well which was good, I do believe that was outsourced. The ambiance of the place left a lot to be desired- it is located in the iconic old town St- Helens in an old bank. Inside it was pretty cluttered and lined with plants and other items from local businesses for sale. I don't plan on coming back here, it was not to my taste, not worth my money, and was lacking in that cozy coffee shop vibe. It seems popular with many other folks around- just not for me.

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!
