We had another phenomenal sessions with Kati this past fall. She does a great job of making everything feel natural, but still delivery incredible photos. Thanks Kati!!
We needed a new local photographer last spring and I found that Kati's work best mirrored my vision. She blew my family away. Not only did I get stunning photos, we found a photographer who actually knows how to interact with kids. She made both my children comfortable and they had a great time. The photos are actually memories of a great evening. My oldest even tells everyone that Kati Best really is the BEST! Thanks Kati. We cannot wait to have photos done again.
Kati truly is the BEST! I would give her 10 stars if I could. She has photographed my family for 3 years now and we will continue to use her as our family photographer for many more years. She is wonderful with my kids, helping them to look at (and SMILE) at the camera, and creates a fun, relaxed atmosphere at each shoot. She is very knowledgeable at each location we've done at which spots are the best for lighting, backdrops, etc. She is very professional while keeping it fun and candid! We love Kati and if you're looking for a Cincinnati photographer, look no further because you've already found the best!
Kati is absolutely amazing! The first moment you meet her it’s like you’ve known her for years!
When we moved back to the area, I was looking for a photographer to capture some family photos. I ended up finding Kati through a friend of mine who used her for their family photos and I am so thankful to have been so lucky to find a photographer we love. There are so many out there and it’s overwhelming to pick one who you’re not entirely sure meets your style of photos or will work well with your family. So to be able to have found her is like a DREAM COME TRUE.
We’ve used her for our family photos each year, maternity photos and newborn photos and each time I’m blown away at the images I recieve and a huge bonus is that my kids LOVE her! She has literal magic to get them to smile and laugh for her—I’m still not quite sure how she does it. Kati Best is literally THE BEST!
We have used Kati for family and newborn photos and her work is amazing! Not only do we love the final photos, but the whole process is enjoyable. We especially appreciate her love of dogs and ability to capture that in photos.
Kati is great at making everyone comfortable during a photo shoot. She is totally immune to the chaos of wild children and the stress of parents trying to tame them into being the angels. She is patient and can navigate those situations well. She can somehow make whatever is happening work to her advantage.
When I got the pictures back, I didn’t expect her to be able to capture the “regular moments” like she did. She is able to make them actually look how they make me feel. Like seeing the outline of my child’s face as he plays in plants–when I remember it, I get those nostalgic feelings. And somehow her pictures convey those nostalgic memories to whoever sees them, not just to a kid’s mom. (I get those feelings looking at her other pictures of not my family).
She is also just a nice person who is clearly great with families. I didn’t expect to love these photo sessions as much as I did!
Kati Best is my name and third wheelin’ is my game. Finding the person who will be by your side to capture your milestones can feel high stakes but the good news is you’re in the right place! My furry crew and I reside in good ol' Cincinnati Ohio; a place we’ve made home after traveling the world. From portraits in Japan, to an outdoor wedding in Montana, to an elopement in Italy -- I love to explore the world.
I know what you’re thinking. Getting your photos taken can be stressful, a little weird, and a lot awkward and I'm here to make it NOT that! I'll help you, your partner, your kiddos relax and have fun! In fact, I promise you won't even feel like you're getting your photos taken. Our time together will feel more like a wild adventure and at the end you’ll get a collection of stunning images that reflects all of the beauty and chaos of our time together.
