THE WOMAN BEHIND
THE LENS, Kate.

Hello,

I am a St. Louis based seasoned photographer as well as a veteran hair & make-up artist. This skill set enables me to work with my clients to realize a complete vision for our photo session, one in which each visual element adds up to perfect images! Working alongside me is my husband Todd, an accomplished photographer and videographer. How do clients describe our work? A few adjectives that we see are “classic”, “timeless”, “vivid”

“journalistic” and “cinematic.” We want your photos to look as fresh and contemporary in 10, 20 or more years as they do on the day they are taken! Be sure to check our portfolio for our work and fuller description of how we combine years of experience in the fundamentals - including composition, lighting, portrait posing - with expertise in all the latest technology. We aim to capture real emotion and focus on candid moments that create memories that you can look back on and re-live your session authentically.

What sets Kate Colton Studios apart?

In a word: Professionalism. Here’s a quick preview of what it’s like to work with us . . .

We provide a luxury experience from the very start. For example, I promise I will respond to your initial contact within 24 hours at most (and usually much less). I also provide a premium digital magazine (free-of-charge) full of examples of work from recent photo shoots. 

I maintain continuous communication throughout the photo shoot planning process, the photo shoot itself (be it a wedding, senior photos, and more), and afterward.
