Re: photo shoot collaboration with Raw Imagery (http://rawimagery.net/)

"Thank you for everything that day. I appreciated your direction and working with my insecurities. You guys made it a fun experience despite the fact that I was freezing my tush off. It was well worth it. This image pretty much proves that. <3"

"Adam emailed me the photos you guys liked. I'm pleasantly surprised. I didn't think there would be that many decent ones worth editing. You did an awesome job getting good angles and such... It's my honest opinion. Most photographers get annoyed when someone has insecurities, but you totally worked around them. I appreciated that and it made me more comfortable. Well....as comfortable as you can get when you're freezing half to death. lol"

Jim "Fury" Hesterman of 80*D (band):

"I LOVE THEM… The best live photos of us that we have. They rock… I knew they would. There were a couple of me that I did like, which says a lot, so kudos to you. "

Jim "Fury" Hesterman (Furious Ideas Photography, photographer):

"The [Madame Trapeze] fashion show shots are spot on; best I've seen from that night ...I also like how consistent you were in your shots; the person was framed accurately both coming toward, and leaving. Plus you got both on most, or all that I saw; most people didn't do that, I found it exceptional."

Bill Butler (Photos by Bill Butler, photographer):

"Your shots are by far the best of the [Madame Trapeze fashion] show. Very impressive! ...I was very impressed by the fact that you had a high success rate with your photos, ie most worked. You also shot very low, which works really well in run way. Last of all you edited, which very few of the other photographers did. "

Erin Castronova (runway model):

"All of your shots have come out amazing!! Nice work love! ...You deserve all the amazing compliments you've gotten about the show! Your work truly stood out among the dozens of photographers at the show that night. The lighting, the angles, everything about your photographs captured the true beauty and fashion that was Madame Trapeze! "

Brianne Dunn (musician, artist, best friend) re: Madame Trapeze photography:

"I saw a few of the photos so far and they look grand. Between all the photographers, people, and model movement, you still captured breath taking photos and I gathered I missed something rather amazing from your photos alone. That says a lot. I know your incredible talent and ambition, but I think it grows and progresses rapidly. You tend to outdo yourself every time. "

Angelo Mejia of The Kollective (event promoter):

"Katherine, your talent outweighs your oppertunity given. Thanks for everything you have done so far & look forward to having you shoot bigger & better shows for us in the future. "
