Testimonials

Alexander

Kate, I express my deep gratitude for this fantastic project: “One day of the creative person`s life”! Your work is comparable to a job of an editor, who writes a script directly through the prism of a camera. Your photos show not just some life but the Art of Living. The uniqueness of your professional skills consists of an invisible ability to subtly grasp an idea or a thought that fully reveals a person, his world, essence, and energy. The photos you made uncovered the history of creating a garden, an alive story of the garden that lasts a lifetime!

Kate is a talented photographer who thoughtfully looks for different angles and images making. My first project was unusual. We did a reenactment of some photos on the Red Square. Some serious patience was required. The second project was a portrait. It was essential to me not just to make some beautiful images but to get the personal state captured. Photos by Kate are not about how you look; they convey some sensual internal state. And this is what I was looking for in my photos. Kate really knows how to understand a client! Thanks.

Getting up early, searching for the first ray of the sun at the beginning of Summer, nature has awakened, the colors are fresh and primordial. It was a photo session in the park among some giant trees of cedar and pine, where meadow flowers already started blooming. The weather was beautiful, everything was green, elderly people were walking by, dogs are wandering, athletes doing their workouts, and we were creating good memories. I love photo sessions. For me, this is a moment in time and fixing my age and period of life. Every year is a new year of life that I want to capture. That year I am wearing a short haircut and bangs. Now I am different ... photography is like a smell and music: it takes me back to memories. I remember that day. I remember the weather, what I had for breakfast and what lipstick I put on my lips - Chanel Rouge Allure lips. Katya knows how to make a holiday out of a photo shoot: a holiday when the soul sings. So, you don’t have to pretend to be better. Just be yourself, enjoy what happens to you, and wait for the magic to happen. A photo is a memory. Get those photos made by generously investing your precious time and money.  In the end, it is memory and energy, which is going to take you to the warmth of a beautiful moment over time. Well done, Kate, a great fellow, a person with talent! Thank you!

Finally, my personal review: Relaxed, natural, unnoticeable bland of a fun walk while giving my wife and myself little nudges in the right direction for our relationship. Could describe as a marital session, tour guide, concierge with the perk of providing (in our case). Our marriage with memories to last a lifetime. Priceless.

Kristina

Kate and I met on a photo session set in Singapore. Kate immediately wan me over with her openness and professionalism. She offers creative options enthusiastically and knows how to listen and hear clients' suggestions. I found it very easy and pleasant to work with her. The photo session was a blast.

Julia and Sergey

While completing our photo session, we felt very comfortable working with the photographer; she is such a great personality. The shooting went on without any tension, insincere smiles or awkwardness. Everything was nice, easy and comfortable. The photos turned out to be super awesome. We remember our remarkable period of preparing for our wedding with warmth in our hearts. We are so grateful to you for capturing this magic moment. Thank you.  

Ekaterina

I have been lucky to deal with Kate several times. These were different countries and cities. Sometimes we worked in extreme weather conditions. Time intervals between the shootings were several years. It`s such a pleasure to observe how she improves, develops, and strives to express her vision with the help of photography, remaining behind the camera! Kate has always amazed me with an unusual combination of her character features: she is an insanely creative person having a wide opened soul.  At the same time, she is disciplined, focused and purposeful. All this helps find a common language with her because she is open-minded and understands you and your needs. She notices what is unnoticeable to a common eye, turning an ordinary location, pose or moment into a memorable frame. It also was a nice touch when during the shooting process, Kate give me some words of support, which fed me emotional inner confidence. I do not have any experience in everyday filming, and such support helped me feel relaxed. I love all my photos made by her. In these photos, I am as natural and authentic as I am, and at the same time, she manages to catch my uniqueness.

Sveta

Kate, your approach is relaxing! I want to try everything new. Hours of shooting go by so naturally that you don't even realize it. Your works themselves are the imprint of all of us at that very moment. Thank you!

Rossi and Tio

Dear Kate: Thank you very much for sending us part of the work in advance. At this time, just calmly and happily, we can see the photos, which are wonderful! By the way, so satisfied with the results. We were not mistaken in choosing you for what we wanted in terms of good professional work. Thank you for your patience, efficiency and delicacy in the art of photography.

Anna

Kate is the most responsible and accurate professional I have met in 16 years! She instantly understands my desires and the job orders she is supposed to work on. And it has a unique and creative view of space. He knows how to shoot the interior at the most favourable angles and successfully solves difficult situations. Her photographs formed the basis of my portfolio, which impressed many potential clients and influenced their decision to work with me. I have witnessed Kate's work three times and hope to continue!
