We…read moreconsider ourselves so honored and lucky to have had Katie photograph our wedding and we look forward to working with her for every photo worthy event life throws at us. Having Katie as our photographer contributed so much to our wedding: stunning, romantic and personalized wedding and engagement pictures, keepsakes that we will treasure for life, thoughtful and considerate vendor recommendations, and calm, friendly support throughout the wedding planning process. We are so thankful for the amazing pictures that perfectly captured our day and also for the time that Katie spent to make us both feel comfortable leading up to the wedding. We could not have been happier!

My husband and I simply cannot say enough great things about Katie! We are so grateful that she was…read moreable to capture the most important day of our lives. She made the entire wedding process smooth and easy when it came to the photography component. Not only is Katie extremely kind but she also makes her subjects feel very comfortable while they are being photographed. We loved the way that she would tell us to "just keep making out and act cute with each other." She has an amazing way of putting you at ease when you are in front of the camera. We were married on May 19th and Katie knew how much that I did not want it to rain. Even though we had two little surprise rain showers, she made me feel so much better about the whole situation by telling me that "it's going to blow over, don't worry." And she was right! Also, not surprisingly, the rain shots that we did get were ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING and some of my favorite pictures honestly. She has an amazing way of turning what I thought would be a bad situation into a good one. So many of our family members and friends at the wedding commented on how easy going yet hardworking Katie is and we could not agree more. Katie is extremely friendly yet professional. My husband and I both felt that she really took the time to get to know us as people and the style that we wanted to have for our wedding. Katie even takes the time to follow your Pinterest account if you have one to get a sense of the type of style, poses, and lighting that you want your photos to have. Katie is also extremely organized by making a day-of-timeline with all of the important shots that you want at the wedding so you don't have to stress about it. I felt completely comfortable the day of the wedding because I knew that she would capture all of the details and important moments that I wanted. To top it all off, Katie sent in the mail a personalized locket with some of our wedding photos, a keepsake that I will treasure forever. She is such an amazing person and truly an artist behind the camera. You cannot go wrong with hiring her and I look forward to working with her for future life events!

I was putting together a party for my niece and her newly wed husband to show everyone their…read morewedding video and slides at a local theater. I knew it was going to be a large space and the first time many people were going to meet. His and Her side of the families. It was just a casual event with some catered food but at the last minute I thought I wanted a surprise to help entertain people and to break the ice. Just a few days before the party, I found Jeff Harris online who does sketches, portraits and caricature drawings of people. I took a chance (at the last minute) and sent him an email and he responded instantly and was more than willing to come to our venue and do digital drawings of the guests. It's like those traditional caricature drawings but so much better. The colors are amazing with full complete backgrounds. Jeff arrived early to the venue and was setup in minutes. I had guests just standing around in clumps keeping to themselves. The moment Jeff turned on his light and setup his easel guests immediately went into the chair and Jeff began to sketch them on his electronic easel. The guests started flowing and watching what was going on. Our main event was watching the wedding video on the big screen but Jeff sure helped with the in between time keeping guests entertained and interacting. Jeff even customized the pictures with the name of the event and location. It was digitally included into the drawing. I joked that we could have easily projected Jeff's sketching onto the big theater screen and watch him work all afternoon. After the event everyone was showing their digital framed prints they all received on the spot. Jeff would personally chat with the guests while doing their sketches. Everyone had nice things to say about Jeff and had personal stories about him and his artistry. I couldn't believe how easy it was to add something like this to my party. Jeff made it so easy and effortless. He stayed until everyone had as many drawings as they wanted. I hope other yelpers add something like this to their own parties or work events. As a bonus, unlike the traditional paper drawings you don't have to worry about losing or getting it home safely. Your drawing is kept digitally so you can have it, share it, post it, enlarge it, make it into a t-shirt, or print as many as you want at home.

There is so many pottery to choose from but I'd recommend having a rough idea of what you want to paint beforehand so you take less time selecting. I originally wanted to paint a matcha chawan bowl but they were sold out. I opted for a small bowl from the cheap pottery section (this is a section of slightly messed up pottery for a heavily discounted price). Prices in this section could range from $3-$20ish? Either way, it's on the low end and very affordable. You can choose 5 colors and you pay for the pottery piece you + the price of painting it (I believe we paid about $16-17 per person). So fun and we had a blast looking up painting inspiration from Pinterest and chatting while we finished our bowls! It takes about 2 weeks to get your item back so still waiting on mine but super excited to see how it came out!
