Kathryn is a true professional behind the camera and in her business concerns. We have hired her many times for photo shoots of our remodeling projects at Tracery Professional Builders, Inc. The photos always get rave comments, and have also been selected for publishing. She really goes the extra mile. She is clever with photographic tricks, very knowledgeable about staging, lighting and perspective, and takes her time to think through the best shot.

She even stood out in the pouring rain and shot through a window to get the best angle - seriously dedicated! I've not only learned a lot from her, I sincerely enjoy working with her - I've never had a bad experience personally or professionally in our dealings, and her assistant Augustina has been great to work with too - class acts all around.

I highly recommend that you hire Kathryn. Professional, prompt and patient are three words I would use to describe her. Professional in her technical competence, skill level and ability to communicate in laymen terms. Prompt in her ability to keep focused on the goals and stick to the schedule. Patient in her understanding that I am not a techie, therefore the need for gentle, yet focused, guidance through-out the project. I am extremely pleased with what she accomplished and am confident you will be to.

Kathryn is a complete pleasure to work with, smart, articulate, service-oriented AND she takes fabulous photographs. I especially appreciate that she spends time before the shoot to understand my needs, the light, and the layout. Legwork ahead of time really saves time, and money, for the shoot itself. An all day shoot is draining but Kathryn keeps her professionalism, humor, and energy going for the duration. Her turn around was fast, too. I've worked with many pro photographers and Kathryn is just outstanding in her field, and such a pleasure as a collaborator.

Kathryn did a terrific job with my website. She took excellent photographs, she designed the website quickly, efficiently, and effectively. Kathryn was able to take my ideas and concepts and make them all happen. I highly recommend Kathryn MacDonald for any project involving photo images and up-to-date, creative, and user friendly web marketing.

Kathryn recently photographed my wedding. She was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. She is professional and responsive. She really listened to what we wanted. She captured the beauty and spirit of the day. People who were at the event and who have seen our photos consistently comment on how great the photos are, and on how surprised they are that she captured so much because they didn't even know she was there most of the time. I highly recommend Kathryn as an event photographer.

Kathryn did our family photo shoot with 5 children and 6 adults, aged 6 months to 76 years, and she managed it all with good humor, flexibility, and lots of laughing all around! It takes a real professional to make everyone feel so comfortable, and she kept shooting while we were interacting naturally. Kathryn never made us feel constrained by time in any way, and the session just "flowed" very easily.

We ended up with literally dozens of great photos and had terrific choices when it came time to make prints. It was actually a fun family experience--we give Kathryn our heartiest recommendation!
