"A portrait session with Kathy Howard is so much more than having your picture taken, it’s empowering, it’s an experience and it is so much fun."

“I spent a long time searching for a photographer that could provide amazing portraits that are glamorous, but not overly edited; Kathy Howard fit the bill perfectly. I have never felt more beautiful than I felt during my session with Kathy, I felt like a model. The most wonderful part is that I still looked like myself, and I could see myself in all of these gorgeous images. I ordered a set of prints that came in a beautifully crafted leather box, and a canvas print. I am blown away by the quality of her work, and the products she offers. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a one of a kind, luxury portrait experience.”

"There are no adequate words to describe the beautiful experience Kathy gives to her clients."

“The gift was our time together. The photos were the souvenir. I felt seen! I felt as beautiful on the outside as she made me feel on the inside! Kathy is a gift. She is talented in her craft but her true gift is how she celebrates our divine right to be seen and to be beautiful!”
