About

Hello!
I am a dog loving mama with a passion for photography. I first saw the beauty of life through a lens back in high-school. I began learning the most basic elements of film by capturing black and white images and developing them in a dark room. Since then, photography has enabled me to show others the beauty of the world through an image that can be captured in an instant. I have traveled to Africa, Germany, and Paris, and photographed everything from PGA championships, to my personal favorite, real life and real love. I feel most at home transforming everyday glimpses of true affection and moments of raw happiness into eternal memories through photography. Two years ago, I lost my husband and it felt as if the camera I had seen life through for so long had reverted back to black and white. Since then I have learned to use my photography to secure life-long memories in vibrant realism. As I bring color and beauty to the lives of others, I return a little bit of that color and beauty to my own life. Sometimes what you see is what you get, but if you look through the right lens, what you see is truly something amazing.

Amazing Photographer

I have been working with Kathleen since my senior photos in 2012 and it was a no brainer when it came time to pick a wedding photographer. Kathleen was my number one choice and I could cry writing this review because Kathleen gave me everything and more that I needed in a good wedding photographer. From the day I contacted her about being my photographer she was so fast to respond to me with whatever questions a stressed out bride had and her questionnaire about what I was looking for was so helpful. She listened to all the things I wanted and our photos captured our love story perfectly. & just when I thought, we were done for the night she grabbed us for a couple of last-minute photos in the dark, which are my absolute favorite photos from my wedding. She has such a passion for photography and it really came through in our photos.

Kathleen was an amazing addition to our vendor team. She is super flexible and always willing to answer questions. Our engagement pictures were AMAZING. When our wedding day came around, I was not surprised at all to find that she was punctual, smiling, and got straight to work. We got our wedding photos back in record time -- way before the contract said we would. And they are all amazing. Even with uncooperative children, Kathleen still managed to capture the day beautifully. I will cherish our photos forever. Thank you Kathleen!!!

If we had to do it over, we would choose Kathleen as our wedding photographer without pause! She was an absolute delight to work with- charming, professional and enthusiastic. And when she takes action, that's where the passion comes through. She's not afraid to throw herself onto the rain-soaked ground to get that unique perspective. She worked our event tirelessly and cheerfully, which was a long day with lots to capture. And the photos are fantastic. We're in the process of selecting pictures for our wedding album, and let me tell you- the options are endless. So many amazing action shots! She has that unique sixth sense; she can anticipate when something great is going to happen and captures it flawlessly. If you're in the Chicago area, I highly recommend Kathleen at KSB Photo for your wedding, special event, or family/pet portrait.

My husband and I truly appreciated the service we received from KSB photo. We loved the personal detail and attention that the photographer (Kathleen) provided. She was very flexible in terms of scheduling photo-sessions and she was a delight to work with!!! Kathleen was very professional and courteous. We fell in love with our photos and we plan on working with Kathleen in the future for anniversary/children portraits. We have also recommended her to all of our friends and family!!

Beyond Amazing!

Kathleen was amazing. The photos we had from our engagement session and our wedding day are beyond words. These are photos we will be able to cherish forever. I was so nervous about hiring a photographer, because I'm always the one behind the camera. Once we took our engagement photos all of my worries were washed away. Kathleen is so personable, and friendly, she makes it seem like you've been friends for years. I seriously cannot think of one complaint about her or her assistant for our day! She came with an award winning smile, and even better award winning photos! You will never regret choosing KSB for a photographer on your wedding day!

I have nothing but great things to say about Kathleen! She did our engagement photos and we've loved her ever since! While there were a few set backs the day of the wedding, Kathleen was super professional. The pictures she took were out of this world! The detail shots only she could have come up with! I can't wait to see our wedding album come together, I know Kathleen will make it beautiful!

We could not have been happier with our photographs from ksbphoto. From the beginning, she was open to our wants and needs for our wedding day. Ksbphoto did our engagement photos and even though it was a 100 degree day, the pictures turned out amazing. We were impressed with her fresh style that showed the true emotion of the day. Her modern style was a breath of fresh air. Her uniqueness will be in our wedding portfolio forever. We would HIGHLY recommend Kathleen to anyone who is looking for a fun, energetic photographer with a modern twist.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
