Welcome to

Kathleen Tolbert Photogrpahy.

Capturing the moments that matter most—honestly, naturally, and beautifully.

My philosophy

Lasting memories through breathtaking, soulful imagery

Close-up series of tiny baby feet being cradled in adult hands.
Close-up black and white photo of a romantic moment with a ring.

At Kathleen Tolbert Photography, I specialize in creating timeless, heartfelt images that tell your story just as it is. Whether it’s the quiet connection of a newborn session, the joyful chaos of family life, or the in-between moments you never want to forget, my goal is to preserve it all with authenticity and care.


My approach is relaxed and connection-focused. I guide you gently while allowing space for real moments to unfold, so your photos feel genuine—not posed. Every session is designed to be comfortable, meaningful, and uniquely yours.


These aren’t just photos—they’re memories you’ll come back to for years to come.

She made everything feel easy and stress free, which meant the world to us. And the photos… they are absolutely amazing! We will cherish them forever. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and delivers outstanding work, I highly, highly recommend her!"

brianda Huitt

"I had a great experience working with Kathleen! Even when life happens, she was able to work with me to reschedule my shoot when my husband had a spontaneous TDY.  She captured great photos of my family while maintaining a fun atmosphere for everyone. I have two kids (under 3) and neither of them cried which was a huge accomplishment. She had great ideas and props to use. She had good locations to choose from. Will use her again and highly recommend her to my friends!"

Jenny Perkins

Testimonials

"She was incredible, I had to reschedule due to one of my kids being sick the first time and then the second time my girls were being crabby so again she worked with me to reschedule to a morning shoot knowing my girls would be in a better mood. I truly can’t thank her for her kindness enough. She was patient with us during the photo shoot and helped us with poses and also caught some great candid photos. The pictures came out amazing and I can’t appreciate her enough. Highly recommend!"

Susan Chiarella

"Had an amazing experience with her. She was able to get our little boy to come take pictures when he just wanted to run around. She showed us the things to do for poses, and all. Really enjoyed her taking our pictures and they turned out fantastic! Very affordable and super professional! She communicates with you and quick to respond. Doesn’t take a long time to get back to ya at all! Definitely recommend her for all your picture needs and can’t wait to book again with her."

Mandalyn Goodman

"Kathleen found us a great location and even arrived early to scope out the best spots. Flow was super easy, she caught great candid photos and helped us with our sweet (although very serious in the beginning) 3 year old. Working with her was super easy and we got our photos EXTREMELY fast! Couldn’t be happier with the results!"
