Kathleen took both of my baby girls’ milestone photos and we couldn’t be happier with the memories she captured! If you want gorgeous photos to adore forever, there is no doubt Kathleen will exceed your expectations! 🥰🩷

Natalia, having the chance to photograph your daughter again one year later was so special! Watching her grow from her first birthday session to her second is exactly why I love milestone photography so much. She brought such a sweet energy to the studio, and I loved making the experience fun and comfortable for her. I’m so grateful you came back and trusted me again with another beautiful chapter of her childhood!
We had the absolute best experience with Kathleen Lopes Studio for our newborn and family photoshoot! From start to finish, everything was wonderful. Kathleen made us feel so comfortable and at ease, especially with our little one. Her patience, warmth, and attention to detail made the entire experience so special and memorable. Our photos turned out absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations!
Our cake smash with Kathleen was very smooth. The whole process felt like a breeze. She was very good and calm with the baby and very promptly delivered the most beautiful and memorable photos ♥️
We were very pleased with our first experience at Kathleen Lopes Studio that we came back again for a second time. We brought in our baby for a new born session. My baby was handled very well and I felt at ease. We even got a few smiles. The photos came out beautiful! Thank you for a great experience!
We really enjoyed working with Kathleen for our daughter’s photos! Our daughter is 8 months old and she did a great job getting her to smile and capturing her playfulness. The communication in the scheduling and the process was very clear. We would definitely work with Kathleen for future photos!
We had a great experience at the studio. It was stress free and our toddler did amazing! Kathleen made us feel comfortable and even took in our request for a special pose. We loved our photo session.
Kathleen is not only an incredible photographer but also a baby whisper! She took such great care of our newborn during the photo shoot. We were very impressed with the service from start to finish. The studio is sanitized, private and very comfortable. We will be return customers for future milestones !
We had such a wonderful experience with Kathleen! She was so kind, patient, and gentle with our little one, which made the entire experience feel so comfortable and relaxed. She was incredibly attentive to all the little details and took the time to make sure our baby was comfortable throughout the session.
The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and she captured so many sweet little details and moments that we will treasure forever. These are memories we’ll be able to look back on for years to come, and we are so grateful to have them.
If you’re looking for someone to capture those precious newborn moments, I would highly recommend her! We couldn’t be happier with our experience and our photos. 🤍
