The breathing and meditation exercises we did before the photoshoot helped me to feel comfortable in front of a camera. Sterling helped me to feel comfortable in my own skin - which to me is priceless. As a light-skinned Pacific Islander, I often felt uncomfortable with my appearance... until I moved to the continental us for college. But even then while I felt adequately assimilated, my soul felt split. This experience has helped me to love myself wholly and fully, marrying my two selves that I had kept separate for too long. Never would I have thought that a photoshoot would allow me that. Sterling's talents are very special and unique. I am forever grateful that our paths crossed. To anyone thinking about an embodiment photoshoot, I say go for it. And if an embodiment photoshoot doesn't really sound like your thing, still consider it :) I thought the same, but I'm really glad that I did it. I've always wanted to be able to capture the moon's beauty as seen through my eyes... not easy. But Sterling seems to do just that in her photography. Capturing the pure beauty and magic of another!

In terms of wedding day investment, Courtney Bowlden was the best money spent the entire day. She…read morewas more than a photographer. She was a huge resource for vendors, she was a calming presence to our family and friends, she even helped me restyle my hair for my reception in under 5 minutes. (I actually liked it more than before!) Courtney was warm, professional, enthusiastic and made us feel extremely special on what could've been a hectic day. Her photos were positively magical and so romantic. A perfect blend of candid moments (that we seriously cherish) and effortlessly directed photos...where she made absolutely everyone look good. We feel incredibly lucky to have our day documented by this artist. She was phenomenal and unforgettable.

Courtney rolled with the punches alongside us when we had to postpone our wedding from June to August, and went from 250 guests to 30 of mostly family members due to COVID. She kept us laughing and comfortable the day of, and I could not be more grateful. Courtney has a ton of industry knowledge and local wedding vendor intel. She offered to help with other vendors, planning advice, and would even just check in with us to see how we were coping with all the changes due to COVID. When it comes to the photography, wow. We were blown away at the beautiful natural light, how many candids, and beautiful shots, nothing was missed. I would definitely recommend Courtney, she's amazing!

She arrived about 15 minutes early and started taking pictures and checking on lighting. The day was such a blur for me and I am usually the one who snaps pictures but I wasn't able take any.

If you can book Katy to photograph for you- whether it be for a wedding, new baby, party, business,…read moreor anything else- consider yourself lucky. Katy is one of the most charming and laid back yet professional people I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She starts off by getting a really good idea of what you're looking for, and then helps you get just that. She did our engagement photos and wedding photos. After hearing our likes and dislikes, she suggested several places for the engagement photos to be taken and the place we chose from her was spot on. She was irreplaceable when it came to planning the wedding day. We needed a plan for the day, plus a backup plan for bad weather, plus a backup plan if COVID completely made us have to rearrange the day- and she helped us make all 3 plans so that we could still have a beautiful day and get beautiful photos. That was so helpful for me who was planning a wedding without assistance. Katy is funny and kind- she wants to get to know you and is easy to talk with. During our small reception she was in the background taking photos, but during our more "one on one" time with her she was direct and helpful. We were feeling really awkward about having engagement photos taken- but worry not! Katy will pose you in ways that look and feel natural, not stuffy or awkward. And seriously- our photos are AMAZING. We are still waiting on our full collection of wedding photos but she sent us a few as a sneak peek and we can not get enough of them. We feel so grateful to have had someone so carefully and lovingly document these important mile stones in our lives and we most certainly plan to use her more in the future. Thank you Katy!
