I was very nervous, I’m not the strongest swimmer, but she helped me stay calm!
“I had such a great time experience with Kate UA Photography. I have always wanted to do an underwater photoshoot so working with her was a dream come true. She was very wonderful and patient, even explaining to me how to breathe out and hold my breath. She was also good about giving me breaks and extra instructing with posing as needed. She also had a lot of great props to choose from. I would definitely choose to work with her again.”

They were probably the most unique and beautiful photos I've taken, and probably the photos I am the most proud of.
“Working with Kate was amazing! Walking into it I didn't really know what to expect because I've never taken photos underwater before. When she got there, she explained to me the techniques to help me keep my face relaxed while taking photos underwater and different poses to do. She then proceeded to set everything up and brought extra outfits to try on. The photoshoot went smoothly and she edited the photos and sent me the final results and they were stunning. She's very sweet, kind, and great at explaining what to do, and she's great at taking the photos, and editing.

Kate is a pleasure to create with.
“She has an innate sense of design, color and has a unique sense of creative flair. Her sweet and positive attitude makes the experience fun and she is a great team player.”

Kate works incredibly hard to capture your essence underwater. And she manages to transform the work you do with her into something magical.
“Kate and I met on a diving vacation in Honduras. When she asked me whether I would be interested in doing an underwater shoot with her, my first thought was “No! This is not my type of thing. I would have no idea how to do this.” Well, Kate was very affirming and convinced me to give it a try. And when we got to the pool, she was incredibly patient and kind. She is incredibly creative and sees the true beauty in every person she works with. And that beauty finds its way into her photographs. A truly magical experience.”

She made me feel comfortable and brought out a confidence in me that I never knew I had.
“Kate was such a treat to work with! The pictures turned out better than I could have imagined and I can’t wait to work with her again!”

Kate made me feel so comfortable, confident and even sexy!
“Working with Kate was an amazing experience. She was very knowledgeable and patient with me during my maternity shoot. I was very nervous because I was very pregnant at the time, but she made me feel so comfortable, confident and even sexy! Needless to say, the pictures turned out nothing short of magical. She also encouraged my 4 y.o. son, who was watching and was very interested in the entire process, to join. We ended up getting beautiful maternity shots and also some very sweet mother-son shots so everyone remembers participating in this truly unique and fun experience”

Kate made me very comfortable and confident! I enjoyed the process right from the beginning and indeed I felt as if I were a beautiful mermaid!
“I’ve always been amazed by underwater pictures by Kate UA Photography and imagined myself as an elegant and beautiful mermaid. However, I know I don’t like cool pools, I don’t like to dive and I’ve never been able to open my eyes underwater. But when Kate offered me an underwater photo session I screamed “Yes!!!” right away. And it was an outstanding experience! Kate taught me in a very gentle way how to breathe and not to breathe, how to keep my eyes open and how to feel relaxed underwater. I loved all Kate’s ideas about different outfits, props and poses. It was fun and exciting! The underwater adventure didn’t end after the photo session, because Kate began to use her secret magic to convert shooting material into fairytale stories. I enjoyed them so much! I miss this excitement already and I am looking forward to do it again with new fun ideas!”
