About me

Born and raised in the USSR and later Russia, I took a leap in 2020, starting fresh in a new country—because why not? Moving during a pandemic was its own wild ride, but I’ve always believed the best time for new beginnings is now. I may have left everything behind, but my creativity, perspective, and love for storytelling came with me! 😊

I also firmly believe that everyone is beautiful, and I’m all about capturing that beauty! Whether it’s your special day or just everyday moments, I see the beauty around me and love sharing it. 

I love making people feel comfortable in front of the camera—even if you’re not a natural poser (I know it can be stressful, trust me!).

Photography isn’t just about getting the lighting and composition right (though I’ve got that covered); it’s about having fun and keeping things real!

One of my superpowers is quick turnaround time, so you won’t be waiting forever to see your photos. With years of experience, I make the whole process easy and enjoyable.

I offer consultation sessions via FaceTime or Google Meet to get to know you beyond just being a client. Share your adventure plans, details about your special day and what moments you want captured! 

PS You probably won’t be able to pronounce my real name and it’s fine, but my friends call me Kate or Kato 🙂
