The painterly quality of KT's nature-inspired and fashion-oriented portfolio and the extraordinary locations of her shoots instantly caught my attention. Our early morning Yosemite engagement shoot was something magical. KT + Chad's warm personality coupled with their incredible talent made things effortless; Sam and I felt completely at ease as KT's guidance and energy directed the flow of the adventurous shoot. KT was, without a doubt, the perfect photographer for us.
