About

Hello! I am Katya!

I am a portrait and family photographer based in Menlo Park, California. It is a true joy to take photos and I cherish capturing beautiful images for my clients. I love getting the classic portraits as well as those in-between moments when connections are often the strongest.

Photography has been a passion on mine since I got my first camera at the age of 12. I just moved from (then) Soviet Union to United States and was completely fascinated by my new surroundings. I would walk around and take photos of everything that crossed my path. Later came art and photography classes, a career in design and a slight diversion to get an MBA. After my husband and I met and our kids were born, I fell in love with lifestyle and portrait photography in particular.

When I am not out taking photos, you can find me spending time with my sweet husband and chasing around our three very energetic kids.
