Kitty photographed a branding shoot for us and she went above and beyond to get the shots to suit our style. She was extremely flexible with the weather, worked decisively with a tough model, and experimented so we got some images like no one else in our industry. Thoroughly professional, prompt and talented. We won't hesitate to work with her again.

We had the most amazing wedding day and it was captured perfectly by Kitty! We had so many issues with COVID and postponed the wedding twice but Kitty made everything so seamless and we could not be more thankful! The pictures are amazing and Kitty made myself and my husband so comfortable in front of the camera at both our engagement shoot and at the wedding. Thank you so much for capturing our wonderful memories that we will cherish forever!!

My husband and I couldnt be any happier with how our wedding photos turned out, thanks to Kitty and Jade at Lily & Twine Photography. I was feeling nervous about having photos taken, mostly because I much prefer to be out of them or hiding up the back, but knew I couldnt this time. Kitty helped ease my worries, especially during the engagement shoot which allowed Reed and I to get an idea of how our day would go during the wedding. Kitty took the time to sit down with us and listen to any concerns, learn about our families, and to find out if there were any specific photos we wanted before
