Katya discovered her love for photography at the age of 9 and later honed her craft through formal training at the New York Institute of Photography.

Growing up in St. Petersburg, Russia, surrounded by the works of masters in world-renowned art galleries, she developed a keen eye for composition and an appreciation for authentic storytelling through visuals.

Her journey has taken her to culturally rich cities like Prague, Vienna, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City, each adding layers to her perspective as an artist.

Over the years, Katya has perfected her ability to capture authentic emotions and expressions.

Her rare talent for tuning into emotions allows her to effortlessly capture authentic expressions, ensuring your portraits reflect the real, approachable professional you are.

Katya is dedicated to delivering excellence for every client, taking their success as seriously as her own.

Why Work With Katya?

Authenticity Over Artificiality

In an age of AI-generated headshots, your clients deserve to see the real you. I create headshots that capture your authentic credibility—no AI tool can deliver that.

Expert Guidance

Not a natural in front of the camera? Don’t worry! I will guide you every step of the way to ensure you look your absolute best.

Meticulous Retouching

Every image undergoes professional retouching to enhance your best features while preserving authenticity.

Your headshots will look polished, professional, and unmistakably you.

From my home base in New York, I bring exceptional headshot services to the tri-state area and beyond. Need me elsewhere? Whether across the country or overseas, I’ll come to you to capture your best side!

Katya’s photography is equally alive with zesty creativity and professional precision. She considers her client’s audience, purpose and style with each session and finetunes her approach accordingly. I left her session with not only outstanding photographs, but feeling empowered as a person and deeply valued. We did a quick session in London and she was just outstanding.

Katya knows how to make you look good. Period. I was looking for professional headshots and what stood out to me about Katya was her ability to make me feel at ease. I’d never had a photo shoot done before and she was explaining all the ins and outs to me, not making me feel like I was an idiot for not knowing this stuff. If you have the chance to work with her—take it! She’s got an incredible eye.

I tend to be a bit camera shy, so choosing a professional photographer was a bit nerve-racking. Talent alone wasn’t enough, I knew I needed a photographer that I would be comfortable around.I was so lucky to have Katya referred to me by a good friend of mine. I was in awe of the results! The shots not only captured different angles of my face, I could feel the energy behind the different looks and most importantlyI was proud to share these pics on various media!

We did the session in a relaxed setting and I felt very comfortable. Katya intuitively assessed which poses were most natural and comfortable for me.I am always very critical of photos of myself, like many, but I can truly say that I LOVE what Katya did! She captured my best looks and made it easy for me to relax and look natural. As soon as I received the photos I immediately changed all my profile shots and received tons of positive feedback.

Katya did my headshots for my website. I cannot even begin to tell you the number of compliments I have gotten on them. The photos she took conveyed the exact tone I wanted: highly professional, but open and friendly.

One of the greatest advantages of working with her, though, is her deep professional knowledge. She knows tricks to make you look so much better than you do in the party pics your friends take.

I've truly never had more fun in a photo shoot in my life! During our time together, I just knew Katya was going to capture some great images. Not only did I leave with some modeling secrets, six hot magazine-quality shots, I left with a new friend!
