Introduction
Cinematic Portraits, Engagements, Love Stories, Intimate Weddings, Graduation Portraits. Just wanted to give you a quick heads up: I don’t have my own studio just yet. If you’re interested in indoor photoshoots, we would need to rent a studio. I know some really nice ones we could consider! 😊 I’m passionate about photography, I am in love with cinematic and candid styles 📸 I know how to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera, even if it’s your first photoshoot. Born and raised in Russia, now based in WI since 2020 I offer a unique vision and am eager to share it with you. You can count on receiving your pictures within 7 days (from an hour session).

It was amazing having Kate as my photographer. She not only took amazing shots but had a wonderful eye for good photo spots as well. My recommendation is to not only provide inspiration photos for her, but also provide any pictures of poses that you'd like! Here are some of my shots:

Details: Solo portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • Flash drive • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

Thank you so much! It was an absolute pleasure working with you.

My fiancé and I recently had a photo shoot with Kate and it was a great experience from start to finish. This was our first time having professional photos taken together, and Kate made us feel completely at ease. She offered suggestions for locations and poses, making the process smooth and enjoyable. We couldn’t be happier with the photos we received and are already looking forward to booking future sessions with her. We highly recommend her to any couples in need of a photographer!

Details: Posed engagement photoshoot • Candid • Artful composition and lighting • Natural or environmental • Outdoors • One location • Online or digital proofs and prints • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Firstly, I want to ensure that we're a good fit for each other. That's why I'll be asking you a series of questions—your expectations are important to me. A video call is ideal for this purpose. If we're a good match, I'll send over a contract outlining what to expect, including the number of pictures and their delivery timeline. A deposit is required to secure the date; this is to respect both your time and mine. I'm here to assist with outfit choices and location scouting if you'd like my input. I prefer discussing everything beforehand so that on the day of the photoshoot, we can have fun and be relaxed in front of the camera.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    I believe that a connection is key; your photographer should feel like your best friend during the photoshoot. Let's jump on a Zoom call to discuss all your questions and concerns. Also, pay attention to the portfolio, as there are numerous photography styles to explore. Photography is more than just "pushing the button," so having basic knowledge about composition, color theory, and more is a must
