Customers frequently praise the light and airy photo style, reasonable pricing, and quick delivery times, noting that the photographer communicates well and adapts to various settings.

We booked a senior session while in town on vacation. We live out of state and not knowing photographers in the area can be a little stressful ! Katie was great from the very beginning! The entire process was easy and the photos definitely captured our family. Katie was professional and made us and our daughter feel like old friends. Thank you Katie!

We booked our newborn session with Katie Hauburger Photography, and I truly can’t put into words how special the experience and the final photos are to us. Every image feels so intentional and full of emotion it genuinely brings tears to my eyes every time I look at them. She captured our sweet Louis so perfectly in this fleeting stage, in a way that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
From start to finish, she made everything feel easy, calm, and so thoughtfully done, which made such a difference during those early newborn days. If you’re even considering booking with her, do it you will be beyond grateful you did. I couldn’t recommend her more.

I recently had a wonderful experience with Katie for our extended family photoshoot. From my first inquiry, her response time was impressively quick, and she remained incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire planning process.
Katie’s friendly and sincere nature made everyone feel comfortable the moment we met, however what really stood out to us was her incredible patience. Dealing with various moods and energy levels in a family setting is no small feat, yet she remained calm and encouraging throughout. She didn't just "take pictures"—she waited for those genuine, candid moments that truly capture our family’s dynamic.
Her skill behind the lens is undeniable. The final gallery was stunning, with perfect lighting and a professional finish that exceeded all our expectations. If you are looking for a photographer who is as talented as she is kind, look no further. I’d be happy to work with her again in the future!

I had the best experience getting my senior pictures taken on the beach in Florida! Katie was absolutely amazing! She was so friendly, professional, and easy to work with. She made me feel comfortable the entire time and knew exactly how to capture natural, beautiful shots. The beach setting was perfect, and the photos turned out even better than I could have imagined. I’m so glad I chose Katie for my senior photos and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for stunning beach photography!

My daughter had a senior session with Katie Hauburger Photography and it was such a wonderful experience! We traveled to the beach from our home in Wisconsin and chose Katie based on her stunning portfolio — and it was absolutely worth it.
Katie was incredibly friendly, professional, and creative from start to finish. She made the session so fun and comfortable, and she truly knew how to pose and capture my daughter’s personality perfectly.
Her recommendations on what to wear were amazing and helped the photos turn out even better than we imagined. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and will definitely be booking future sessions with Katie!
