Kate did a beautiful job of capturing our little family of three on a cloudy day in Balboa Park. We did the one hour session, which was plenty of time given our squirmy one year old daughter was not in the mood to have her picture taken. Despite our baby's uncooperative frown and glum weather, Kate's patience and resourcefulness resulted in very memorable images that we always cherish. Kate has a good eye for lighting and depth of field, and her photos a natural quality although she's also willing to do posed shots if you prefer. I also appreciate how quickly she edited our images and had them ready only a few short days after our session. What also makes her services perfect is that Kate is so surprisingly AFFORDABLE! San Diego families are lucky to have her in their backyard! Given her quality of work, she could easily charge more. Don't hesitate and check out her website, where you can easily view her availability, prices and reserve a session with a small deposit. Thank you Kate for making your talent so accessible and reasonable. Can't wait to use your services again soon! read more

Kate was the photographer for our wedding on August 3rd, 2019 at the Bahia Resort Hotel in San Diego, CA. From the moment I met her at a coffee shop, I knew she was the best fit for us! It was a pleasure to work with her leading up to our wedding day, the day of, and after. On the day of our wedding, she payed close attention to all the little details and made sure to include them in our pictures! We were really impressed with the poses she placed us in, how many candid moments she captured, and the overall quality of our pictures! To this day, we are still sharing pictures with our family and friends getting many compliments. Aside from her photography skills, the energy she exerts is very peaceful and easy to work with! I would highly recommend her. :) read more

I found Kate online while searching for a San Diego photographer who could do our engagement photos. Since we live in Pennsylvania and were visiting San Diego for the first time, I really was hoping for a great experience...let's just say, we definitely had one! Kate was exceptional and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. She responded to my messages quickly before we met and, after the photos were taken, sent previews a day later (final pictures were all edited and sent in less than a week!) Kate is great at what she does and is super affordable for the quality of work she produces. I wish I lived on the west coast because I'd definitely hire her for future photo needs! You won't be disappointed. read more

Kate is AMAZING! she did a couple shoot for my boyfriend and I this past September and she knew exactly what I wanted! Our pictures came out really great! We love them so much. Kate is super kind and being in front of a camera can be awkward especially if your like us and not sure what to do. Kate made us feel extremely comfortable, I never thought a shoot would be so much fun, but we ran, we jumped, we hugged, we kissed, etc. and it was really fun, she definately caught some great shots and we couldn't have asked for better. I highly recommend her, she's great. I will definately plan for her to capture other special events in the future. Thank you so much for all your work Kate! read more

Kate did a great job taking our family pictures and even getting our toddler to cooperate, which can be challenging. We received preview pictures the next day and the rest of the pictures only five days after our session! Kate is very talented and professional and she gave us lots of good tips on how to pose for the best pictures. I still can't believe how affordable she is compared to other photographers in the area, yet the quality of her pictures are amazing! Thank you for giving us a great experience, Kate, and wonderful pictures for our family album :) read more

My husband and I have been married for 3 years.

We had Kate (SunPhotographer) at our son's birthday party on Aug 26. She really made the event memorable for us and all of our guests! She was at our party before time and stayed long and always had a smile! She took large numbers of photos to cover all events and guests. When we received 250 edited pictures, we were really happy. The pictures are sharp and captured the moods very well. All guests loved the pictures and some of them told me that the pictures were the best return gift from the party! We will definitely hire her again!! read more
