We have had the pleasure of working with Kathleen 3 times now and she is not only an INCREDIBLE photographer, but she is an incredibly caring person.

I am a first time mommy and wanted to capture newborn photos of my baby, Kathleen went above and beyond! I cannot express how obsessed I am with all the photos she captured. I was so nervous he was going to be fussy and crying during the shoot because it was during his feeding time, Kathleen was so gentle with my baby, he slept during the shoot. I was actually the one crying in the background (tears of joy) I am so glad I found her and I am also, so grateful that she took videos with my phone (I didn't even ask her to do that) so now I also, have videos of my baby during the shoot! If you're hesitant on booking newborn photos, for whatever reason, this is your sign to BOOK THE SHOOT. Thank you so much Kathleen. I will definitely be a returning customer. read more

Brought my baby to take her smash cake photos here and Kathleen was very patient with my baby. My baby is at the peak of their stranger danger phase so it took some time to get them to give us a smile. However, by the end of the photoshoot my baby was smiling and enjoyed the cake very much. I appreciated the amount of photos we got at the end to choose from too. Would definitely come back to get more photos done here. read more

I'm beyond grateful that Kathleen was able to get me into her schedule last minute--she only had one availability left a week out from the day I inquired about her availability. From the initial contact to completing the shoot, everything was seamless. Adriana is the sweetest and was able to accommodate a theme despite me being last minute. As for the shoot itself, Kathleen was extremely patient with my daughter despite her crying and rolling around. To my surprise there were so many beautiful photos to choose from once the gallery was sent to me, and I'm going to cherish these photos for the rest of my life. I would recommend her 100% to anyone looking to get a baby shoot done. read more

Kathleen Lopes Studio - Session Photography Near Me - Irvine, California

Thank you so much for helping us create long lasting memories! Such a great first birthday present from my sister, if anyone looking for ideas! The staff is EXTREMELY responsive, detailed and accommodating. Kathleen was able to capture such cute moments of son. Thank you! read more

We found Kathleen's Studio on Instagram and absolutely fell in love with her newborn work. We recently had our last baby a few weeks ago and wanted to book a newborn session just like we did with our two other children. We contacted Kathleen via email and were able to get in contact with Adriana her assistant who was also amazing at giving us all the information and pricing we needed. Once we decided to book Kathleen, Adriana setup our appointment about a few days once our daughter was born. The day of the session Kathleen greeted us and had everything setup, she even took care of the baby. One of the things that stood out to me the most was the little room she had separate for the newborn pictures where only one person was allowed. In the past we had to be all in one room and it was a bit chaotic with other photographers. My husband stayed with our other kids and they were pretty entertained with the toys she had. Kathleen was incredible, and a literally baby whisper because our daughter did so well and didn't cry. We can't wait to see the final product! Will definitely recommend her for pictures. read more

Kathleen was extremely gentle with my baby. As a mother of a preemie, I was worried about how my baby would do, but Kathleen eased all those fears and relaxed my own nervous system while watching her gently feed and pose my baby. I was in awe of how professional and composed she was even when my baby was starting to cry. She definitely is experienced with babies and the photos came out more beautiful than I could of asked for. I highly recommend her for anyone wanting to do a photoshoot of their newborns! read more
