Kaitlin is by far the best photographer I know (and I know a lot of them). It’s a shame she’s moving!

Kaitlin Roten has «the» gift.
What is «the» gift?
The gift of making you feel like she is your friend and you are just hanging out, the gift of making you not see the camera, and of course the gift of being an amazing photographer.
I found a post card brochure at the local coffee shop and hung it on my bulletin board last year. This year, when I knew we were nearing the time we’d need to have a photo shoot for our upcoming adoption profile book, I took down the card and sent her an email. We chatted back and forth and decided on the date, the locations, and then she reminded me we could do a change of clothes mid-​session! I told her she’d created a creative monster! Haha!
The day for the photo shoot arrived and we were nervous and anxious. The only other time we’d had a professional photo shoot was at our wedding. We had a lot riding on this session and I needed everything to go perfectly! I tried to play cool, calm, and collected so the hubs would not see me sweat.
However, it was all for naught.
The moment we met up with Kaitlin she calmed us and put us at ease. She chatted with us like we were old pals and made us quickly fall into just being ourselves — which was exactly what we were looking for in this shoot.
The photo disc was delivered ahead of time and we could not wait to examine the pics! The hubs and I sat together and scrolled through what turned out to be an amazing set of photographs that we’re hoping our expectant parent (s) can use to help select us to parent our future baby.
We cannot thank Kaitlin enough for giving us this wonderful gift of photos that we’ll cherish forever!
We’ll definitely be calling her back when our little one arrives!
