Hi, I’m Katya!

Is there anything better than to share joy with humans who love you?

I’ve photographed over 1000 couples and families – and I’m convinced, this oxytocin-rich connection IS what will save the world.

As for my story …

Before moving to Costa Rica, our family lived in Dominican Republic for 10 years. Our first 3 babies were born there, and this 4th one came earthside surrounded by Costa Rican jungle.

Life feels so full of possibility and wonder, as we’re navigating a beautiful co-parenting partnership with Rob and building a homestead in the lush rolling hills of Diamante Valley, Costa Rica.

We take on a limited number of portrait sessions a year. Book a Discovery Chat to talk about yours.

we felt so comfortable and at ease!

the photos are so timeless and sensual, but we never felt uncomfortable or exposed.

this was the day after our wedding, and was just the most amazing experience!! everyone should experience this!!!!!!!"

Catherine & JD, New Jersey

truly ONCE IN A LIFETIME experience!!!

“It wasn’t really a photoshoot, but more like the coolest date we’ve ever been on. Such a roller coaster of emotions … we laughed, we cried, we fed each other pieces of the juiciest mango I’ve ever tasted, and we made out like teenagers, as the waves crashed against our bodies. The photos blew us away!! Really, we’ve never looked so happy and hot for each other! Now the hardest part is to choose the canvas for our bedroom wall. Katya has a true gift!!”

Jessica & Danny, Ohio

my favorite photographs EVER taken of us

“My partner hates having his picture taken, and I planned this photoshoot as a surprise. It turned out to be the greatest thing that happened on our entire trip. He LOVED the experience, and said he never thought taking pictures could be so much fun. A miracle! I don’t know how Katya does it, but I’m forever thankful.”

Alexa & Christopher, New York

the best honeymoon gift

"This is how I want to remember our LOVE, 30 years from now! My husband said he's so glad I convinced him. Actually, I think he might've had more fun that I did!!!"

- the Mondays

so much more than photos

"My husband is in the military and was getting deployed for the next 8 months. The session was such a healing, joyful and heart-opening experience.

I could write a novel about how amazing Katya is ... it was so much more than photos."

- Stacy & Daniel

so. much. FUN!

"We are obsessed! The photos turned out so amazing!
We wanted images that would show how much fun we have together and how special our chemistry is. These photos are everything. Katya exceeded our expectations!"
