The Rock Studio

I can’t even begin to explain how much I love the Rock Studio and Katie’s work!
I first saw it when a friend of mine got married — her photos were beautiful! From that day forward, I was obsessed, but never had a need to have any professionally shot photos.
Last November, my fiancé and I finally decided to get pictures done for our Christmas cards, and Katie happened to be having a mini-​session shoot. We booked our 15 minutes and couldn’t have been happier with how simple the process was, how comfortable Katie made us feel, and most importantly, how lovely the photos were once we got them back (quite quickly, mind you).
We have since booked her for our wedding and cannot wait for that date and to see how she artistically captures our big day!

We had a courthouse wedding at the historic courthouse in Santa Ana and I absolutely loved working with Katie! Not only are the pictures from the day absolutely gorgeous, but Katie was such a pleasure to have at the wedding. She has a very calming presence and I so appreciated her humor and her people skills.

Katie is such a joy to work with. Personable, talented and truly loves her job. Thank you, Katie, for giving my family and I wonderful Christmas cards!

Hiring the Rock Studio for any event that needs a photographer will not be a mistake. Every chance I have had to work with the Rock Studio has yielded amazing results. Katie is so easy to work with, and she makes you feel comfortable during the whole process.

Two weeks ago, The Rock Studio took some AMAZING photos of my nieces and I to celebrate the fact that they are now living with me. We are SO SO SO happy with the way ALL of the photos turned out and literally have them ALL OVER our house. I have gotten so many compliments on them already, and the girls just keep asking to look at them some more because they love them so much.
THANK YOU ROCK STUDIOS (KATIE)… You are absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to have another excuse to get more pictures!

Hiring the Rock Studio for my wedding and engagement photos was the best decision I’ve ever made when planning my wedding. I have multiple friends who have gone through the Rock Studio for all of their photography needs and they were very pleased. My experience was excellent as well.
When my husband and I were planning our small Vegas wedding one thing that was the most important to us was the photography. Once we contacted Katie she met us first in person to discuss our needs and expectations, which I thought was very helpful. Planning a wedding is stressful, so it was nice to have someone who was eager to answer all of our questions and describe exactly what we can expect on our big day. We’re very glad that we had Katie take our engagement pictures first. We’ve never had professional pictures taken before, so I was very nervous during our engagement session. However, Katie made me feel very comfortable from the beginning and she would tell me and my now husband how to move our hands or straighten our back, all the little things we normal people never think about but make a huge difference in pictures. We had followed Katie’s directions for the first half of the session, and then she let us do whatever we felt like towards the end. Once we got our engagement pictures (which was very quick) I was blown away by how beautiful they turned out. Even my husband who is a typical guy and doesn’t like to show off pictures took one of the photos and placed it at his desk at work, which got a lot of attention.
Our wedding pictures turned out beautiful as well. On our big day we were not nervous at all since it wasn’t our first time working with Katie and we knew what to expect. We had so much fun walking around Vegas and taking pictures in iconic places. We also wanted some pictures in the dessert, and Katie picked out a perfect spot on her own free time the day before our wedding so when it was time to actually take the pictures she knew exactly where to go.
Sorry for the long review. It’s hard to describe my experience with Rock Studio in few words. If you’re looking for a photographer I would recommend the Rock Studio in a heartbeat! Katie is very professional, fun, helpful, reasonably priced, artistic, detail oriented and so much more! We were amazed by how fast it took Katie to give our wedding and engagement pictures to us, and we have gotten so many compliments from our friends and family. My husband and I are planning to move out of state soon, but when we have kids we will definitely use the Rock Studio for our family photos whenever we visit California.

We met Katie earlier this year when we signed up for one of Rock Studio’s mini sessions. We loved her so much we immediately hired her to shoot our wedding in October. She certainly didn’t disappoint. She is so great to work with! The photos turned out beautifully, and she turned everything around so fast! The morning after my wedding she was already posting some photos on Facebook for us to enjoy. By time we got back from our honeymoon, we had a beautiful package waiting for us with all of the final images on a USB drive.

I’ve had the pleasure of having Katie photograph my children ! She is so sweet and really is professional ! She takes great pictures and am very impressed by her quality and taking the time to truly make the experience a success! Plan in using The Rock Studio for many more occasions! Thanks Katie

Katie is awesome! Nothing but a great experience! She has a passion for what she does and it shows in her pictures. She didn’t have a problem getting on her knees or taking an extra couple minutes to entertain my infant for a picture, which as a mother is very important to me. Already booking her for my sons birthday !! Thank you again rock studio!

I would highly recommend Katie! I have appreciated her work for years. She did a boudoir photo shoot for my oldest daughter before her wedding and the pictures were amazing… tasteful and beautiful. My younger daughter has her booked for her May 2015 wedding and I chose her to do my son’s HS Senior photos as well! I could not have asked for a better experience. She met us downtown and had great vision on what would work for some really good «guy» shots (Guys are harder than girls in my opinion) Not only was I pleased with the experience but so was my son! (He’s hard to please) She has a very easy going personality and has an amazing eye! There was one photo she took in the parking garage… I was thinking… the parking garage??? Well, that picture turned out to be my favorite! Who knew? Anyways, my experience with her made me even more confident in my daughter’s choice to photograph the most important day of her life!

Katie is so easy to work with, she makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful from the minute you meet her.
I am so lucky to have found such a great photographer so early on! Our home is filled with pictures she has taken and I look forward to working with her again in the future!!!

Super happy with engagement photos of my daughter and her fiancé. Katie did an amazing job!
I will recommend her to everyone I know!
Thanks Katie and The Rock Studio!

AMAZING!
Katie has shot several events for my company and each time she is so reliable, personable and does amazing work. She completes everything in a timely manner and is very upfront about the cost and time.
I recommend Katie constantly to my clients for their weddings and she always produces amazing images!
Her customer service goes above and beyond the norm! I have worked with several photographers over the years and she is most definitely the best! If you are looking for a great photographer you can count on call Katie!

I’ve worked with Katie on portraits/​headshots twice now, and every time I am more impressed with her work! She does an incredible job and is so fun, makes everything so easy for the subjects. Her creativity is very evident in her work, as well as how well she works with her clients to find a location to suit their needs. I look forward to working with her again in the future!

I absolutely love having pictures taken by Rock Studio. After our family photos were taken in July my son declared he wouldn’t let anyone else take his photo. I am sad that I did not have the option to have them take my sons baby photos. I love following them on FB an seeing all their fabulous sessions an weddings. It makes me want to plan events just to have them take pictures! I can not state enough how professional Katie is. I am a person who HATES the way I look in pictures, but Katie posed us in ways that Mage me feel and look great! Plus she is a wiz with photoshop. She even noticed my son was wearing bracelets and thought to check with us to make sure we wanted them in the photo. I love Rock Studio!!!

I haven’t hired Katie personally, but I have been at two events she photographed (a wedding and a party). She has a wonderful personality and takes great photos (one of them is framed and sitting on my mantle). In addition to wedding photography, Katie also does parties — she walks around with a modern Polaroid and can snap photos of you and your guests having fun. Then she just hands you the photo — instant gratification! Kind of like a way-​better alternative to a photo booth. And again, she is super nice. I would definitely hire her!

From our first meeting to now, 4 months after our wedding Katie has been with us making sure every aspect of our important day happened flawlessly. Katie is the type of person who becomes personally invested with her clients. To only speak about her actual photography would be a disservice to her. Katies work speaks for itself so I rather talk about the experience she provides to her customers.
Katie makes herself available to her customers day and night for not only questions and concerns in regards to their photos but also for anything they may need. If you need help finding some small ridiculously hard to find item to complete a centerpiece she will go with you to hunt for the item.
I could go on and on about Katie and everything she has done for myself and my husband. However, I want to keep this concise enough to make sure that my words are read. I will simply say that I never felt out of control or freaked out about my wedding because I knew that I could always count on Katie to be there for me in any way I needed her.
Katie is a photographer, an artist, a counselor, and a friend. If you want quality work you can count on to excel any expectations, you need to hire Katie and The Rock Studio.

Where do I start? Kaitlyn Mooney was just a joy to work with! I could tell by just talking to her over the phone that she LOVES her job! My husband Andrew and I picked The Rock Studio to take pictures at our wedding! We honestly couldn’t have been happier with the work that Kaitlyn did! Our pictures came out wonderful! Kaitlyn is very much professional, organized, friendly and so much fun to work with. She had lots of samples of her work to show us and it made our decision of picking The Rock Studio very easy! Not to mention she had really great pricing! She really went above and beyond what she needed to do. Andrew and I had a little country wedding and did a lot of DYI stuff so anytime Kaitlyn would see something cool on-​line or knew of people that were trying to sell stuff she would text me and let me know about it. She really made the whole experience very personal! I really loved that! Kaitlyn was on time and ready to work. I ended up showing up later than I wanted to for the wedding. Kaitlyn was very proactive and took pictures of everything all set up! My whole wedding was outside, Kaitlyn was very aware of the time we had with the light outside and tried to move things along quickly to make sure she got all my must have photos! Talk about going above and beyond this crazy woman laid down on the dance floor and took pictures of us standing over her! The pictures came out awesome! She really captured the moment! Kaitlyn had our pictures edited and ready for us in a very timely manner, only six weeks! I thought that was pretty fast! So if you are looking for a wonderful photographer Kaitlyn Mooney is your Girl!!! Like I said before she is just a joy to work with! I only hope you pick her and see for yourself! Thanks again for everything Kaitlyn!

I am so happy that we chose Kaitlyn, owner of The Rock studio, to photograph our wedding. On our wedding day, Kaitlyn was the perfect balance of professional and friendly (and fun!). She managed our large bridal party and wandering family members to ensure that we got to our reception on time while still capturing every shot that we wanted (and the final photos were gorgeous!). She came with a pre-​made list of «shots» (such as bride and groom with parents, nephew, bridal party, etc.) which also helped expedite the process. She (and her now husband) were an all-​around joy to work with. In addition, Kaitlyn brings with her a dearth of expertise in the wedding industry — she helps you figure out timing for the big day and can also recommend vendors — two things that I needed help with. She met with me and personally called me at least twice to check in and see how I was doing as a bride. I am very thankful for Kaitlyn and the Rock Studio for their amazing work. I hope that whoever reads this also gets to experience the awesomeness that is the Rock Studio!

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Rock Studio. As a mother of 18 year old triplets, I was looking for a photographer to take their senior photos. Having already taken senior portraits from another studio, I was disappointed with the finished product. I just wanted to find a photographer who could capture the triplets personalties. I got everything I wanted and so much more from Katie. Not only did she take their photos, but she also designed their graduation announcements. I couldn’t be more thrilled with her work. Katie is not just another photographer, she is an artist! My family and I will look back on this experience with fond memories. Thank you, Katie!
