KatFour Photo is a local, Columbia, MO photographer serving the Mid-MO area with a variety of photography services. You want beautiful photos to help you remember this time in your life and a photographer you can trust! I provide professional portrait photography (families, seniors, couples, pets, and branding). Every session includes the fully edited digital gallery — not a small set of limited images. Friendly, relaxed sessions that give you photos you’ll actually use and love. I really focus on getting to know you, rather than focusing on a specific type of photography. I aim to be your photographer for all your needs and occasions. No matter the event or session need, I'll be there to help you plan and capture great photos.

Kat was amazing to work with! She came to us (30 min from Columbia) and did everything my son wanted, plus provided extra ideas. Her prices are very reasonable and we have so many great pictures to choose from. We did 2 different locations and 3 clothes changes in an hour and a half. We are so happy and will be recommending her to all our friends.

Kat was very kind and asked me what I wanted and made it happen. She was a couple minutes late but made up for it and stayed late with me to get me all the picture poses I was wanting. Kat was great to work with and made me feel comfortable.

Kat took some family photos for us in our home. She was very organized but let us be part of the creative process as well. She made everyone feel very comfortable and she was able to accommodate several requested poses in a short period of time. She was very professional and the experience was a lot of fun! We can't wait to see the finished product!

Kat was extremely professional and prompt with communication. She offered many suggestions during our photo shoot. Kat was very patient and interacted very well with our 5 year old son. That for us was the deal breaker. I highly recommend her services. Don't be fooled by other bids! We'll definitely be hiring her again in the near future.

Kat was great to work with! We hired her for our son's Mizzou grad photos and were very pleased. She made my son super comfortable and even was able to get some family pics. We will definitely use her when our daughter graduates in 3 years.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $4000 per hour or $275 for a half hour for personal sessions and commercial photography that includes a commercial use release starts at $500 per hour. This includes the photo shoot as well a digital download of edited photos from their beautiful, personalized photo gallery. Prints, albums and other designed materials are all priced a la carte.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We'll work together to determine your perfect location, time and style for your photography session. All session are on location, rather than in studio, meaning we'll be out and about in the real world or even in your own home or office. I have found this makes the photographs look and feel more authentic when you look at them later.
After your session I will curate the photos to make sure that the best ones are included in your final order and edit each one by hand in color and in black and white. I will also work with you on any designs or print products you might be interested in to make sure they are as unique as you are. Clients have the option to print with my professional printing lab, which offers the highest quality printing services and a large selection of products.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over a decade of photography experience in the Columbia, MO area.
