Simplicity Studios

Event Coordination

My father asked, "Where did you find her, she's wonderful!

"Choosing to have Katie as the Day of Coordinator was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding.  We received several compliments throughout the night on Katie and her team.  One of the biggest compliments came from my father when he asked, "Where did you find her, she's wonderful!" in the middle of our reception.  

Katie also went over and above in fixing a last minute limo crisis that would have left my bridal party stranded.  Katie not only found a limo the day before for our wedding, but also negotiated a lower price.  Katie's outgoing personality and crisp attention to detail was evident throughout our planning and on our wedding day.  I would highly recommend having Katie as your Day of Coordinator!"

Wonderful company ran by an even more amazing person

Vendor Referral: Working with her was absolutely amazing

"I was honored to photograph a wedding Katie of Simplicity Studios coordinated and it. was. LOVELY! Working with her was absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend her as an event coordinator!"

To say she was a life saver is an understatement

"Working with Katie for my wedding was nothing short of AWESOME!!!!!!  She made everything stress free and easy.  She takes the time to meet with you before hand to get all of the details for the wedding and vendors.  She also reminds you of things that you never even thought about!  She is very detail orientated and such a sweetheart!  
 
On the day of the wedding, I was completely stress free.  I knew that Katie would be taking care of the vendors, and all of the decor.  I had so many compliments from wedding guests about Katie and how great she was.   To say she was a life saver is an understatement!!!!
 
I highly recommend Simplicity Studios for your big day! "

She was my way of preparing for the unexpected

"Katie was my Day of Coordinator AKA heaven sent angel!  I didn't know how helpful having a DOC would be until Katie reminded me of things I was forgetting and pulled them together for me last min (card box, duh).

On the day of the wedding she came early and helped set up for the ceremony and later the reception.  My 10 button bustle was giving everyone problems, but Katie jumped in and helped with it and got me back to enjoying my guests.

Most importantly, she took on the stress of the little things that happened on my wedding day that I didn't even know to expect.  She was my way of preparing for the unexpected.  I would highly recommend Katie if you're considering having a Day of Coordinator.  If you're not considering having a Day of Coordinator, I think you should reconsider!  Happy Planning"

Photography

During the session I felt like I could just sit back and relax while Katie calmed and positioned the baby

"I am so happy that we chose simplicity Studios for our son's newborn photos.  Katie made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. Katie was extremely responsive and more than accommodating when we scheduled the photos.  

During the session I felt like I could just sit back and relax while Katie calmed and positioned the baby.  She was so comfortable and patient with him and she created / captured such amazing images.  We received the photos so quickly and absolutely love them all.  We are definitely looking forward to having Katie photograph the many milestones to come."

Many people have asked who took our pictures and we've received endless compliments

"While searching for the perfect photographer to take newborn/family pictures, Katie was highly recommended to me. As soon as I reached out to Katie, I quickly received a response and she was eager to take our pictures. 

Katie is hard-working, professional, prepared, patient, and such a sweetheart. She was completely ready to go upon our arrival. She went above and beyond by having toys set out for our 4 year old son making him feel comfortable and special. Just giving birth a week prior, Katie made me feel beautiful and relaxed throughout the session.

 Katie has such an impressive attention to detail, our pictures turned out beautifully. They're such a treasure. Many people have asked who took our pictures and we've received endless compliments. I highly recommend Katie to anyone in need of a photographer. By far the best decision my husband and I could've made. We look forward to our future experiences together. Thank you Katie, you're awesome!"

Katie was incredibly patient and creative

"I am so impressed with the amazing shots Katie was able to capture of my 9 month old son despite him being fussy during most of the session! Katie made everyone feel comfortable and was able to truly capture my family! Katie was incredibly patient and creative.  I would definitely recommend her and I look forward to our next photo shoot!"

Our photos are so beautiful and will be treasured for years to come

"Having Katie photograph my family was such a wonderful experience. She was professional from the beginning as well as kind and accommodating. Our photos came out better than I had hoped for! Katie truly captured each member of my family and made us feel comfortable. Our photos are so beautiful and will be treasured for years to come. Thank you!" 

Katie is very creative, and has a great personality to make everyone feel comfortable and have a good time

"My husband and I had photos taken by Katie for our pregnancy announcement. She exceeded our expectations of what we thought these pictures would look like. Katie is very creative, and has a great personality to make everyone feel comfortable and have a good time."

Katie was so sweet, flexible, and hospitable throughout the entire session

"Katie is extremely talented and was so good with my son during our Valentine's Day mini session.  The photos turned out so good, I couldn't choose which one I liked best!  Katie was so sweet, flexible, and hospitable throughout the entire session.  We look forward to our next shoot!"

Katie was awesome to work with and made the whole experience amazing!

"Choosing Katie was one of the best decisions I made when booking my boudoir session!  Katie was awesome to work with and made the whole experience amazing!  I would highly recommend her for your next photo session!  You rock Katie!"

Beyond great customer service, her photo session was stress-free, personal and we are overjoyed at the outcome

"Finding a new photographer seemed like a big deal until I was referred to Katie at Simplicity Studios.  Her first communication with me was extremely helpful and just a hint of how amazing she truly is at her art.

Beyond great customer service, her photo session was stress-free, personal and we are overjoyed at the outcome. She was great with the baby and helped us capture this moment in time. Thank you Katie!!"

Working with Katie was such an easy and fun experience

"Working with Katie was such an easy and fun experience. She was so professional and patient with my family. She made my son laugh the entire time and we ended up with amazing shots. I would highly recommend her. She'll be forever doing our family photos."

Beautiful, unique pictures at an affordable price

Having pictures taken of your children can be very stressful, especially when one is 3 and the other is just a few days old. That was not the case with Katie at all! She made us feel super comfortable and took her time with both of my children, ensuring that the pictures would turn out great, and they did!

She was laid back and easy going which put us all at ease, capturing sweet and candid moments between both of my babies that I will cherish forever. The birth announcements we sent out received tons of compliments, all because of Katie's awesome skills. Beautiful, unique pictures at an affordable price, I highly recommend using Simplicity Studios!

Katie was flexible, laid back, and our photos show the real 'us'

"We had a great time with Katie during our photo session. She had plenty of ideas, and, when our three-year-old was reluctant to cooperate, she kept a constant smile on her face, plus a sense of humor. He soon became comfortable and our session was a success. Katie was flexible, laid back, and our photos show the real 'us.' She got some unexpected, beautiful shots - we can't decide which to frame! We are so glad we worked with Katie and we definitely will again."

She was able to capture the true spirit of a toddler on the move

Our photo session with Katie was wonderful and effortless. Our little guy at two and is quite the handful. Obtaining a great picture of a toddler on the move can often be frustrating and stressful for them and for the parents. Not to mention that in the end it can have disappointing results. She had amazing patience and was able to capture the true spirit of a toddler on the move! Jaxson had a great time with Katie. As a result we have amazing pictures of our son that truly capture his personality. We will enjoy them for many years.

Not only did the pictures come out great, but we had so much fun

"We are so grateful to have had Katie do our engagement photo shoot!  Not only did the pictures come out great, but we had so much fun.  We had a couple ideas of pictures that we wanted and brought some props along with us, but Katie had so many great ideas that we never would have thought of!  We can't wait until she can do our family photos."

She even takes time at the end of each session to teach my daughter some photography

"Katie does an AMAZING job in her photo sessions. She has done sessions with both my kids and always makes them feel comfortable and included in the process, which in turn allows for great pictures. 

She even takes time at the end of each session to teach my daughter some photography and allows her to take some of her own pictures which she always sends us. I highly recommend Katie for sessions!"

She came prepared with ideas that were relevant to our situation

"Zack and I came to Katie wanting some pictures of us to treasure when we are apart while he is away serving in the military.

The most impressive thing for us working with Katie was that she came prepared with ideas that were relevant to our situation. Right away, we knew she understood the vision we had. The pictures turned out beautiful and we received so many compliments on them. I would highly recommend Katie to anyone looking to have professional pictures done!"

I felt truly beautiful that day due to Katie's close attention to detail and her caring attitude

"I was lucky enough to have Katie photograph my second pregnancy. We worked both in my home and outside. She worked wonders in both places and made a seemingly simple window in my son's nursery the most gorgeous backdrop.

I felt truly beautiful that day due to Katie's close attention to detail and her caring attitude. She even captured some amazing photos of my older son when we weren't looking.

When she later took newborn photos for us, I was exhausted, feeling less than gorgeous, and overwhelmed with my terrible-two year old. She warmed the bedroom where she would be photographing the baby and while we were dealing with our older son, she captured some of the most beautiful photos of the baby.

She was so patient when the baby needed to eat, and later was able to capture some candid moments of my husband and I with the baby in our living room. We loved seeing our sneak peeks and she had beautifully edited our photos very quickly. I cannot wait for our next shoot!"

Katie's talent and professionalism clearly shows in our pictures

"Katie spent an hour with us at Meadowlark Gardens in McLean, VA and absolutely met our expectations for our Fall pictures! We have an infant and two rambunctious boys and she was able to capture so many wonderful shots. Katie's talent and professionalism clearly shows in our pictures. We appreciated her patience with the boys and enthusiasm for her work!"

We have a lot of beautiful photos from that day

"We had a great experience having Katie come to our home and take our family pictures.  She had a lot of good ideas for different poses and was very patient with our toddler and dogs!  We have a lot of beautiful photos from that day.  We would definitely use Katie again as a photographer."
