As your photographer, I’ll be there to capture some of your most important moments — from your ‘I do’s to your milestone celebrations. My goal isn’t just to be a stranger with a camera, but to be a friend accompanying you on this journey.
Born and raised in the USSR, then grew up in Russia, I decided to start fresh in 2020 in a new country far from home. Moving during a pandemic turned out to be quite the adventure, but there’s no better time and place than right here, right now! I left everything behind in Russia, but I made sure to bring my unique vision and style with me here 🙂
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.
When I’m not snapping pics, I’m either snowboarding down a slope, exploring new places with my dog, or planning my next travel adventure with my family. These little things keep my creativity alive and fresh.
I offer consultation sessions via FaceTime or Skype 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 🙂

Testimonials and reviews of my work
"Kate is absolutely amazing! She is very professional, friendly, talented, responsive, and she truly cares about you and making quality work. She really takes the time to get to know you and your style. As someone who finds it challenging to be in front of a camera, Kate made me instantly feel comfortable. She is great at directing and finding the best angles, poses, locations, etc. The photos turned around so quickly, and my fiancé and I love them! I would highly recommend her to anyone."
