My kids didn't make this session easy but Kay never lost her cool and smiled the entire time. Because Kay is a mom, she totally understands how chaotic things can get when kids are acting silly. I couldn't believe she captured such beautiful photos while we were all goofing around. My kids were comfortable with her and Kay's photos captured the light in their eyes. I can't wait for our summer photo shoot! More...

We have had such a wonderful experience working with Kay! She came to our home for our baby boy's newborn photo shoot when he was less than 2 weeks old. It was such a hectic time for us and her calming energy was exactly what we needed to make us feel comfortable. She really has the touch when it comes to babies! And most recently, we did a mini shoot for some family holiday card photos and we came out with some great shots! I would absolutely recommend Kay to anyone! More...

Kay, You are an amazing photographer. I am in awe of the photos that you captured during our family session. I loved how your brought out each of the boys personalities in the photos. The session was fun and stress-free, you made working with two young active boys seem easy. The location and the lighting in the photos were absolutely perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for your amazing work and for capturing these special moments of our family. We loved every single photo that you took of us! More...

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Kay when she captured images of our son, Cameron, when he was just 10 days old. She was very patient with our fussy newborn and took her time to get all the images we were hoping for. When we saw the results, we were thrilled about how they all turned out! They were absolutely beautiful, and we are happy that we decided to have her as our photographer. We purchased the Belly to Toes package, so we are excited to work with Kay again when Cameron is 6 months and 1 year old. I would definitely recommend Kay to anyone looking to capture any and all of your family's milestones! More...

I love Kaori's photos. Â She captures the moments in between the traditional posed kind of portraits.

Kaori was one of the first people to meet my daughter, less than 24 hours after she was born. She captured a very special time for our family and we couldn't wait to share the pictures she took with our family and friends, especially since many of them are out of town. For our newborn shoot, Kaori made us feel at ease as she accommodated our schedule of diaper changes and feedings during our session. We can't wait to have her photograph our daughter when she turns one. More...

I will forever treasure the images Kay captured of my pregnancy, hospital stay and first days at home with our precious baby girl. My husband and I both felt so at ease with Kay. She guided us through the sessions making sure we were comfortable and even advised on outfit selections prior to one shoot. The video slideshow brought tears to my eyes and was a wonderful way to share the pictures with family. I can't wait to be able to share the moments Kay captured with my daughter one day. More...

We have been using Kay since we were pregnant with our first son and she has continued to document our family every year since then. I HATE taking photographs, and Kay always makes me feel at ease in front of the camera. She does a great job of working with both babies and kids, and truly captures their essence in a photo. We always look forward to the results after our shoots! More...
