I booked a newborn photo session with Kathleen after reading many positive reviews, but unfortunately, my experience did not match those expectations. Kathleen is a kind person and was gentle with my baby, which I really appreciated. However, the quality of the photos was disappointing. The biggest issue was the poor framing -- in several photos, my husband's head or hands were cut off, while large portions of the images were just plain, empty background. The photos felt unbalanced and unprofessional. Even as someone without a photography background, it was clear the composition was off. When I reached out to express my concerns, Kathleen told me the edits would improve the photos. So I waited, hoping they would be fixed -- but unfortunately, the edited versions were still not satisfying. You simply can't fix poor framing or missing parts of a subject through editing. I had also requested a specific swaddle I had seen in her past work, but it wasn't available. I had to choose from just a few options that I didn't like. The session itself felt a bit rushed, which may have contributed to the lack of attention to detail in the photos. If professional-quality pictures and proper framing matter to you, I would recommend looking elsewhere. While Kathleen is sweet and tried to be comforting, the final results did not meet my expectations, and I regret booking such a special moment with someone who didn't deliver. read more

Kathleen and her entire team are great professionals! Everyone treats us with great kindness and care, I felt very comfortable and welcomed. We hired a maternity session, and we also took our 2 kittens to the session, where they were also very well received and very well treated. They were great models, but this was only possible with Kathleen's exceptional talent with the camera in hand. After all, cats usually don't stay still in busy moments. Kathleen did our first photography session ever, my first experience and that of the whole family, but she made everything so light and unforgettable!

We had such a wonderful experience with Kathleen! We were a little nervous going into our family photo session with our newborn and our two-year-old, but she made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable. Kathleen was amazing with our newborn. She handled him with so much care, easily soothed him, and was able to get him comfortably posed for the photos, making him feel as relaxed as possible throughout the session. She also did a beautiful job swaddling him. Our two-year-old was feeling especially shy that day, but Kathleen was incredibly patient and still managed to capture so many wonderful moments. She gave us clear, easy-to-follow directions for each pose and showed us exactly how she wanted us to hold the baby, which made the session feel effortless.

This is the second time I have booked Kathleen and again, she did not disappoint! As always, the studio is clean, she is very professional, and she has many different themes/colors to choose from. I booked a newborn session but also added my oldest daughter to take pictures with my newborn as well. She had a few ideas and themes/colors picked out before I arrived and when the session began, she showed me her ideas and asked for my opinion. If I did not like something, she did not hesitate to change it up and provide other ideas (I ended up loving her options and didn't change a thing!) Pictures of my newborn were taken first then we went to another part in the studio where pictures were taken with both of my daughters. She was very fun and interactive with my toddler and we were able to get many great photos of them. I highly recommend Kathleen Lopes Studio. Thank you so much, Kathleen! read more

First-time mom here, and I was honestly so nervous about doing newborn photos because I had no idea how my baby would behave or if he would even cooperate. But Kathleen made the whole experience so easy and comfortable from the beginning. She was absolutely amazing with him. Somehow, my 2 week old baby slept through the entire session, which I still can't believe I was seriously shocked. You can tell she really knows how to work with newborns, and watching how gentle and patient she was with him made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. Her setup is also amazing and keeps the babies so cozy and comfortable. And the photos... I'm obsessed They came out so adorable, and I'm so happy I decided to do this. These little newborn moments go by so fast, and now I have these beautiful memories forever. I would definitely recommend Kathleen to any new mom thinking about doing newborn photos. read more

During the shoot, she was so patient with my little one and once again made it so special for us . As a birthday present, she added on a free bubble bath .

Kathleen has done for photos for us in various occasions, the most important ones were when our triplet baby girls had just left the NICU. Being born at 32 weeks and leaving after just 4 weeks you can imagine how tiny and fragile they were, but Kathleen amazed us with the care and love she had for our babies. The studio was warm and cozy, she wore a mask, and most importantly she created the most beautiful memories for us. A year later she took their first year smash cake photos and once again, she did an amazing job. This year, we did a mommy and me photo shoot and she made me feel beautiful while still being a mom. Every time I wanna capture a special moment with our daughters, I know Kathleen is the person to go to. She is patient, creative, and most important dedicated to her job. read more
