Lighting & Storytelling Aficionado
Born to Cuban and French designers in Brooklyn, Katherine's multicultural background and life in the big city led her to learn to pay attention to the little details that others often miss.
Katherine received her BA from the prestigious Tufts University and trained in long-form narrative photojournalism under World Press Photo Chairman Gary Knight. While based in Rome working for the United Nations, she was hit by a car on her way home from work — what she calls her “Regina George” moment.
While spending a year in recovery at home in NYC, she began noticing how obsessively people documented every aspect of their life and participated in the world through a camera screen. Katherine has since become passionate about capturing those lost moments that make us.
Katherine has worked weddings and events worldwide - including Hong Kong, Italy, Kenya, Myanmar, England, Thailand, California, and more -- photographing past US presidents, celebrities, and other icons of our generation.
Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Cut, Martha Stewart Weddings, Rangefinder Magazine, and many more.
Editorial Vibes
"OMG is that us?!"
An approach that is both candid and editorial. No forced posing or cliche styling here. I always keep it fresh.
You can look epic in photos without it feeling forced or cliche.
I take an alternative approach to all of your portraits -- mixing in the fun candids that capture your personalities with the rad editorial photos that make you go "holy sh*t"
My inspiration comes from Harper's Bazaar editorials, old Hollywood glam shots, Caravaggio's paintings from the Italian Renaissance, and Tarantino films.
How It Felt To Be in the Room
Au Natural
No flash needed.
Say hello to truly cinematic wedding imagery.
When you look back at the photos from the night, they should feel like screen stills from a movie.
Beautiful true lighting, romantic motion that prevents the images from feeling static, and that true cinematic touch.
I photograph on a series of mirrorless cameras with lens adaptors so I can capture even the most dimly lit of spaces without needing a flash or compromising on image quality.
