Introduction

Cinematic Portraits | Engagements | Love Stories | Intimate Weddings | Graduation Photos in Milwaukee and beyond 🖤 Hey there! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Kate, a Milwaukee-based photographer (originally from Russia!) and I’ve been capturing stories here since 2020. I’m all about those real, in-between moments - the ones that feel like you. Not sure what to do in front of the camera? No worries at all - most of my clients say that too at first! I’ll guide you through everything so it never feels stiff or awkward. We'll keep it light, fun, and relaxed. Not photogenic? I promise you are. Not sure what to wear or where to shoot? I’ve got you covered with outfit tips and location ideas that match your vibe perfectly. Worried about waiting weeks for your photos? You’ll get your gallery back within 7 days for an hour-long session. I know how exciting it is to see the final results - you won’t be left hanging! Just a heads up: I don’t have my own studio yet, but if you’re thinking indoor photos, I know some beautiful spots we can rent. Whether you’re planning a surprise proposal, celebrating your love, or just want photos that actually feel like you, I’m here for it. Let’s tell your story together. 📸

Q&A

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

unfold fold
Firstly, I want to ensure that we're a good fit for each other. That's why I'll be asking you a series of questions—your expectations are important to me. A video call is ideal for this purpose. If we're a good match, I'll send over a contract outlining what to expect, including the number of pictures and their delivery timeline. A deposit is required to secure the date; this is to respect both your time and mine. I'm here to assist with outfit choices and location scouting if you'd like my input. I prefer discussing everything beforehand so that on the day of the photoshoot, we can have fun and be relaxed in front of the camera.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

I believe that a connection is key; your photographer should feel like your best friend during the photoshoot. Let's jump on a Zoom call to discuss all your questions and concerns. Also, pay attention to the portfolio, as there are numerous photography styles to explore. Photography is more than just "pushing the button," so having basic knowledge about composition, color theory, and more is a must
