Katie was absolutely amazing. Felt like a friend through the whole shoot guiding us and hyping us up along the way so we felt like real models. The shoot was super fun and playful, allowing us to be relaxed and truly be ourselves. The results are insanely stunning- amazing experience all around!

Beyond her talent, her warmth during the session made us feel like old friends. She created a relaxed and enjoyable experience for myself and my boyfriend. Highly recommend her for both her expertise and personable approach!

She’s highly adaptive, naturally positive, absolutely endearing and personable. She’s got a great wedding-side manner. She captured the special essential qualities of my sister’s marriage and I recommend True Atlas Studios to anybody with the same aim.
