What they’re saying

Reviews

“Working with Kate is truly a phenomenal experience - she listens to what you are looking for and then adds her incredible talent and artistic vision which results in the most gorgeous photos which will hold our family moments in time forever.“

- Laura R.

“KATE IS A TALENTED, CREATIVE AND INSIGHTFUL PHOTOGRAPHER. Our 17 year old daughter is very easy going and laid back, so didn’t want multiple outfit changes or elaborate settings for her high school pictures. Kate took that information and sought out the perfect locations based on our daughter’s personality and life experiences. I highly recommend her and will use her services in the future! 5 stars.“

- Marla W.

“Thank you so much for the photos. They are absolutely beautiful. We and the family really enjoy them. You did a great job.“

- Ashley & Ben

“If you are looking for a photographer please consider Kate Colton Studios. She and her husband Todd are absolutely amazing. “

- Julia & Eric
