Wendy is seriously the only photographer I will ever call for my family! She's done my sister's graduation photos, my engagement photos, and she also was the photographer at my wedding! She is THE BEST! I highly highly recommend her to everyone that I know!! read more

My family and I love Wendy. She's been doing our Christmas pictures for years. First, and most importantly, she does an awesome job. Somehow, even when the kids are being difficult, she gets great photos. Amazing photos. She just has an aura of peace and calmness about her that puts everyone at ease. We've gone to other places and people and never had such great photos. Second, the sessions are convent and quick. She's on time. No waiting necessary. Such a pleasure when you're juggling kids. Third, she is so warm and welcoming. She must take gads of pictures every year, yet she remembers you and your family. Finally, her prices are so reasonable. She is not out to take advantage of you at all. If anything, she's too accommodating! Today I got to see another side of her. Boudoir pictures!!! She's amazing at that too! Made me feel so comfortable. Looking forward to giving my husband his Valentine's Day present this year. :) read more

Wendy is the MOST amazing photographer! She has given me so many beautiful photos of my boys, maternity shoot and our wedding day. I love how real and natural she keeps it and such great quality. Thank you Wendy! read more

My husband and I had Wendy take our wedding photos in December! We couldn't be any more happier choosing to do business with her! Her skills are amazing! We loved our photos! She is accommodating. She met us up at the court house and then at a park to take our pics! Reasonable prices as well. We'll definitely be doing business with you again and recommend our friends & family. read more

Wendy was responsive to my emailed request for info and had a great quote for a 15-minute session, which is all we needed for our Christmas pictures. The location she chose was perfect, and I am so pleased with how our pictures turned out. She was also really quick to get the proofs to us! read more

Wendy is amazing! She is super professional and knows what she is doing, I have worked with her on 2 occasions and could not be happier with how our photos turned out. She is a very friendly and approachable person and makes you feel comfortable and confident during the shoot. Highly recommend her for family pictures!! read more

One half of the amazing duo that was Wendy Kathleen Photography and Vanity by Victoria. I had the honor of working with this team for a bombshell collection shoot. Wendy made me laugh and feel amazingly comfortable in nothing else than my own skin. while Vic made the makeup, Wendy was able to guide me to great light and poses to make sure my body angles were right. I understand that Wendy also does wedding photography and fantasy shoots. She is amazing and would recommend her to anyone. read more

It definitely is as good as it gets!! She is so amazing! I am so shy and insecure and saw this deal and jumped on it not knowing what to expect. It was such a win on my part. First of all she is so informative, locations, outfits, times, suggestions anything you want or need to know and then some. Being that I didn't live in Orange County she had come up with the perfect location. She made me feel so comfortable! She partnered with an amazing Make Up Artist Victoria Nino, put those two together you have a a day of beauty caught on film to share with your lover for a gift or just because. I was able to get to know Wendy the day of the shoot and probably one of the reasons her photos come out so beautiful is because she is a true artist at heart. Her creativity overflows and this is just one of the ways that she is able to share it. It was such a fun experience, I couldn't have asked for more! I can't wait until I have a special occasion so I can ask Wendy to create photos that will last me a life time!! THANK YOU WENDY KATHLEEN PHOTOGRAPHY! read more

LOVE Wendy and her beautiful photos. I'm so thankful for the moments she has captured for us

Wendy Kathleen Photography is the best out there! She took pictures of my daughter in a beautiful location down by the beach. She brought extra clothes and jewelry for the shoot, which helped give my daughter a lot of different looks. The pictures turned out GORGEOUS!!!! The beach pictures were so gorgeous that we also did a shoot up in the hills by a creek. I thought the beach experience was great, but this was an adventure that produced extraordinary pictures that were unique and beautiful with a Fall Season feeling. With the beautiful beach and creek locations, the ease of the shoot, and the expert eye of Wendy; these were great experiences that I would recommend to everyone. read more

Wendy Kathleen takes amazing photos. It's as simple as that. I had the good fortune of buying a LivingSocial deal for a Boudoir Photo Session that included hair and makeup by Makeup By Victoria (separate review) and a photo shoot with Wendy. I'm so glad I make the spontaneous purchase because it was a wonderful experience, mainly because Wendy can make anyone feel comfortable (even if you're almost naked!) and brings out the most beautiful version of a person through her photography. I was so nervous and felt uncomfortable for the first few minutes, mainly because I had no idea what to do, but after Wendy snapped a few photos, she showed them to me so I could see what they looked like. I couldn't believe my eyes--they looked amazing and they hadn't even been edited. You know a photographer is good when any picture they snap is amazing. Wendy takes all sorts of photos, but if you have any inkling to take Boudoir photos, the best choice is Wendy, hands down. read more

Absolute best experience! Wendy was so considerate and accommodating to my specific situation. Arrived on time and spent a great deal of time to be sure she got the right photos. The final product was beyond perfect! The images were so beautiful and natural. I have recommend Wendy Kathleen Photography to all of my friends. read more

Wendy is beyond talented. Trust her, she knows what she's doing. I did the bombshell shoot with Wendy & it was easy to get comfortable with her. She can tell when something isn't working and she knows when it's the perfect photo op. What also makes the session fun is when she shows you the shots she has taken. You automatically start building up confidence and know you've made the right decision in coming to work with her. I can't wait for our next photo shoot! Thanks, Wendy! You are rad and I know my fiancé is going to flip out when I gift him with the wedding album. P.s. get your makeup done by Vanity Belle. It makes everything perfect because Victoria and Wendy work sooo well together. read more

Amazing photographer! I did a bombshell (boudoir) shoot with Wendy and she is great. I was nervous beforehand, but even in the communication prior to the shoot, she made me feel more comfortable! The day of our session was so much fun and I can't wait to see the pictures. She recommended the Vanity Belle team for hair and makeup and that was great as well! They did a wonderful job. Such a fun experience. I'd recommend Wendy for any photography needs you have... and especially a bombshell shoot. read more

Love Wendy! Super easy going, makes it fun and be yourself! We wanted to capture a time in life. She has special places right now with back drops of spring flowers, grasses and rustic props. read more

Wendy is a fabulous photographer with such an incredible eye! She did my daughters Engagement pictures as well as her wedding last weekend. I was blown away with her and her photos. Even after being stuck in horrible traffic to get to wedding pre-shots- she was so calm, composed and professional. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her and will absolutely use her again!! read more

What a phenomenal experience and outstanding results. Wendy was so calm and warm, everyone was immediately comfortable. The session was quick and kids had a blast. The pictures captured my kids personalities perfectly - absolutely love them all. Received the proofs incredibly quickly and the edited versions of my selection just as fast. Definitely recommend her and will be coming back for our next round of family pics. Thank you, Wendy!! read more

Just uploaded our wedding photo taken by Wendy. She is so easy to work with and her art is incredible. The photo speaks for itself, and they're all that way! She has a rare talent. If you choose someone other than Wendy to shoot your wedding you're making a mistake. read more

Wendy Kathleen Photography - Our wedding photo was finally framed! Wendy is an incredible artist as you can see from the picture! - Event Photography Near Me

Wendy is AMAZING! She has been taking photos of our family for the past 5 years. She is incredible with children and her photography is stunning. She is extremely professional and has such a passion for this business. We've reached out to her on short notice and she's always been able to accommodate us. We cannot recommend her enough! read more

Wendy was amazing and out engagement photos turned out beautiful! I was honestly very nervous about the whole photoshoot process, but Wendy made it so comfortable and lighthearted. I'm a bit of a control-freak and Wendy was willing to try out poses and action shots that I wanted to try. She knew how to make us look great and natural (even though we didn't feel natural in the moment). I am also a glasses-wearer and Wendy was so great about moving me or moving the camera to avoid that weird glare I always get from my glasses. I also messed up on the timing of the photoshoot and emailed Wendy 2 days before our scheduled day. She was so great and was able to contact her other clients and switch our days. Wendy was also SUPER fast at getting us the photos to look through and she edited them practically that same night because we got the edited photos the next day! Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Wendy as a photographer, especially if you're an awkward picture-taker like I am! read more

From start to finish Wendy was awesome and very professional. I loved how our pictures turned out. I will for sure contact her for our future pics. Thanks again Wendy. read more

Wendy took my engagement photos, my wedding photos, and some bombshell photos and working with her every time was amazing. She makes you feel comfortable with her and gets the most amazing shots. I can't even tell you how much I would reccomended her for any photo session that you need. Any family shots or personal shots I would hire her again and again. She isn't just a great photographer she is an amazing person. No doubt, no hesitation, AMAZING. :) read more

Wendy Kathleen Photography - Event Photography Near Me

I found Wendy Kathleen Photography after viewing a friend's AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL maternity session photos. It wasn't the typical maternity photo shoot... it was different, artistic, and stunning. I wish I could have another baby just so Wendy could photograph me like that. I am so happy that I was able book a photo shoot for my 4 year old daughter. The pictures turned out better than I EVER could have imagined. Wendy is so kind... she is a mom herself and makes everyone feel comfortable. She was able to photograph my daughter in such a way that it captured her soul. I am so grateful to Wendy... she truly is a gifted photographer/artist..... and now I will always be able to look at these photos of my daughter and be jaunted back to such a precious time in my life... one that is going by much too fast. read more

My boyfriend and I did a patriotic shoot with her and absolutely loved her! Her photos are absolutely amazing! When we got to our spot, the weather kind of turned bad, but with what we were wearing and the flag we used, it turned into a rustic themed background and she really captured us. The photos were stunning. They didn't even need editing! she also has a really good prices for what she gives you. Also, my boyfriend hates takes pictures, but he really enjoyed her and felt very comfortable because Wendy made it so much fun and relaxed. I can't wait to do more pictures with her in the future. I definitely want her to do my wedding photos some day! Thank you again Wendy! read more

Wendy is amazing...plain and simple. If there are any bad reviews here its because of the client, not Wendy. I am a professional photographer and also a client of Wendy's because I will only let her shoot my family and me. She is brilliant, talented, kind, sweet and has a big heart...all good for a professional photographer who will be shooting newborns, children, families and couples in love. I recommend her highly, even if she is my competition. :-) read more

Some may say I'm biased because I work so closely with Wendy; however, being a make-up artist I have the privilege of working with many different photographers. I must say, Wendy is one of a kind. Her vision is inspiring and unique. She finds art in every situation and beauty in everyone. She isn't just someone who takes photos, she is a true artist. I can not only speak as a business partner, but also as a customer. Wendy shot some photos of me and I was amazed at how beautiful I looked. I was blown away by her ability to use lighting and textures, giving the photos an organic look and feel. She is truly talented, check it out for yourself! read more

Wendy is an amazing person to work with and a skilled photographer. She captured my wedding day to a "T" and I could not be happier with the photos! Such a big day in your life should only be left to a professional, and Wendy is definitely that and then some. She is reliable, creative and fun to work with. I'm recommending her to all of my recently engaged friends-she's the best! read more

I bought a Groupon for an engagement session with Wendy Kathleen Photography, and maybe that's why my experience with her was unpleasant. I originally wanted my engagement photos in April or May but I pushed them back to June because of Wendy's "busy" schedule. When she asked where I wanted them to be taken at, I sent her a photo that was one of the first pictures under the engagement portion of her website. She didn't reply for days so I kept forwarding the message so she would reply. She eventually replied that she would need to contact that client because she didn't know how to get there, and if there was a second location we could use if that didn't work out... Why would you not know where that's at if it is on your website for everyone to see. After looking at her Facebook page, she had that same location again with the caption saying that was her favorite place to take pictures at. I sent her a screenshot of that and she still didn't reply for days. She eventually replied with "I'll need directions as I don't know how to get there" At this point I was done with her unprofessionalism, rudeness, and neglect. I'm sure she put me on the back burner because I had a Groupon, but she shouldn't be on Groupon if she couldn't accommodate for it. Needless to say, I found a NICE photographer who told me exactly where that location was and has been nothing but accommodating to me. An engagement is an exciting time in a persons life and for Wendy Kathleen to make it a stressful time is uncalled for. I would rather lose out on the money I paid than to proceed any further with her. read more

Wendy has the most artistic eye and a knack for capturing the inside and outside beauty of her models. I have had the pleasure of working with Wendy and several occasions and never dissapointed. Whenever people say my pictures they always ask who did them and how can I book her. If you want to do boudoir she is your woman, Wendy makes you feel really comfortable and knows how to make every curve of a woman look amazing. I really cant say enough. An amazing gifted photographer! read more

Wendy is hands down the most incredible photographer. Here style is so versatile, artistic and simply gorgeous! Wendy has a way of making every session more fun than the last and the end result is not only a great experience but beautiful memories! Thank you Wendy for the most breath taking engagement photos... Can't wait to for our next shoot! read more

Beyond amazing! From the beginning to the end, the experience that Wendy has made for my engagement photo shoot was better than expected. She was extremely flexible and so great at communicating throughout the entire process. Shooting with her was so easy and comfortable because she was so easy going. She had the right eye for every pose, lighting, and gave us exactly what we were looking for. I know we built a great connection with her and will be going to her for so much more in the future! read more

Wendy is so amazing and easy to work with! Me and the future hubs had our engagement photos done with her. The photos turned out better than we had imagined! We cant wait for her to shoot our wedding photos in March! read more

I found Wendy on Yelp. I wanted some "bombshell" pics for my husband for a wedding gift. She did the job wonderfully. She's really nice, fun, and very creative. My husband was VERRRRY happy with his gift. =) I will totally use her again for portraits, events, or whatever people need photographers for. She works with Vanity by Victoria, who did my make-up. This makeup artist is very talented as well. Great team to make you look and feel your best. read more

Wendy has done several photo sessions for my family. I was nervous for our first family photo shoot as I had an active 2 year old and was just amazed with the patience and creativity Wendy had to get the BEST pictures of our family. Since then I have done maternity and newborn pictures and always so happy with them. Wendy really has a passion for what she does. Pictures are not a comfortable thing for my husband and I but we always leave with a sigh of relief because she made us feel so comfortable. Our relatives love getting pictures and cards with our family stages on them for the past few years thanks to Wendy! read more

Wendy Kathleen Photography - Wendy helped us announce our 2nd baby! - Event Photography Near Me

Out of this world!!!! This is my third time using Wendy as our photographer and each time we are more dazzled and amazed by her beautiful photographs. We just finished a photo shoot with my two nieces and Wendy always knows how to capture the most fun and imaginative shots. We just LOVE Wendy and cannot wait for our next session. Thank you Wendy! read more

Her photography is stunning. Wendy did my senior pictures and they turned out amazing. I am by no stretch of the imagination a model, but with her direction and awesome skills, I looked liked one. She has a great personality which makes the whole shoot very enjoyable and her work is flawless. read more

Wow! Wendy is amazing, her photos are fabulous and she is SO easy to work with. I had done a boudoir photo shoot about 1 1/2 years ago with her and recently got engaged. I wanted to do an engagement shoot, but my fiance is NOT into taking photos, AT ALL. I knew from my previous experience that not only would she make both of us feel totally comfortable, but that we'd both actually have a ton of FUN doing it. In addition, we wanted a location that felt more like the mountains, and not so beachy. So we called Wendy Kathleen Photography. And boy did she deliver! Our photos turned out AMAZING, the location was PERFECT and my fiance even commented that he had a good time throughout the whole experience. I cannot say enough great things about Wendy. She is has a very good eye, finds fun areas and poses for you, and it all feels super natural and fun. I would HIGHLY recommend Wendy for anyone who needs photography...for ANY occasion! read more

Words cannot describe our photo shoot experience with Wendy! To begin with, Wendy chose a great location and her casual demeanor led to such natural, candid and fun compositions of the whole family and our boys individually. Wendy really captures the moments and creates beautiful art. The best part is we all had a blast and had great memories of our day together. Thank you Wendy!! read more
