atlanta brand photographer katya

As a Ukrainian-born mom of two, I know what it means to balance real life with big ambition. My own pivot from family photography to luxury brand storytelling in 2020 was intentional - I wanted to help visionary women and bold entrepreneurs step into their fullest expression with imagery that feels as magnetic as they are.

With a decade of marketing and design expertise behind the lens, I bring more than photography to the table - I bring a creative direction process that feels seamless, thoughtful, and tailored to you. Think of me as both strategist and artist, guiding you with clarity and ease so every shoot feels effortless, empowering, and deeply aligned.

My studio at Crabapple Market in Milton is where strategy meets style. From Roswell to Buckhead, Alpharetta to Atlanta, I collaborate with personal brands and businesses who are ready to be seen - fully, authentically, and unapologetically.

testimonial eva

Katya is truly an amazing photographer! She carries a great vibe and transfers it to her clients. I'm not usually comfortable in front of a camera but my session with her felt effortless! The photos she captured reflect something that is utterly me in a natural and very unique way. This is exactly what you want from a branding session - only Katya managed to exceed every expectation I had! It's also worth noting that she prepares well before her session, going above and beyond to get clarity on branding, poses, outfits, makeup, props etc. This allowed her to make the best use of our time. 100% worth the investment for your business. I look forward to working with Katya time and time again!

testimonial lynn smith cnn

Katya was a dream to work with.  It wasn't just a photo session, it was an experience.  She spent time outside of our shoot developing the plans for how the day would unfold, which made for a faster and more efficient shoot day.  She really gets to know your brand in her one-on-one calls and as a result her photos are not only amazing quality but images you need tailored to your specific brand.   Her dedication to the end product is unmatched.

– CNN Headline News Anchor Lynn Smith

testimonial anna welch

I hired Katya for a personal branding photo shoot. She exceeded all my expectations! The whole process from the beginning was on the highest professional level. She made sure she collected as much information about me to get to know my personality before the shoot. Her entire system of communication, documents, photo downloads is very easy and efficient. I cannot praise high enough her energy, her creativity and professionalism. Thank you so much, Katya for making it super easy.

– Anna Welch

testimonial tanya nebo

I am delighted that I found Katya and worked with her in getting a recent set of images and video for a new project. She's so professional, efficient, thoughtful and responsive. I truly appreciated how she handled the pre-session process, the on-site portion, and her delivery of the images. She did everything she said she would do - when she said she'd do it (which isn't so common these days). I would not hesitate to work with her again and highly, highly recommend her services.
