Hi, I’m Kate!

I'm the heart behind Playful Dove Photography.

If you've ever said "I hate having my picture taken," you're in the right place. Because honestly? Same. And that feeling is exactly what drives me.

I've been helping families, seniors, and athletes around Kennett Square feel a little less like they're "having their picture taken", and a little more like they're just having fun.

Kind words…

Kate is an excellent photographer!  She planned the location for my daughter’s senior portraits and had previously visited the site to know the great spots.  She has an eye for what works with the location and subject. We also received the link to our edited photos very quickly!

My fiancée and I have never taken couples photos before and having Kate as our photographer was spectacular. She was able to direct us naturally and make the entire session feel comfortable and fun. You could tell that she studied our inspiration pictures, and took time to diligently scout our locations to make our vision come true. We highly recommend her as a photographer and can’t wait to get more photos done with her!

Kate is just the best to work with! She visited our shoot location earlier in the day to map out great photo spots, and came with plenty of pose suggestions. She also gave great cues and showed us example photos to help pose naturally. We had a great time at the photoshoot and adore all of the pictures we got! We couldn’t recommend working with Kate enough!
