It all started with the orange point-and-shoot Olympus my mom and dad gave me in the early 2000s. I took hundreds of pics of my everyday life. Later during my college years, I did styled shoots with my friends.

Around 2012 I started freelancing, doing family sessions, weddings, birthdays, and events. I dreamt of studying photography, but I chose to pursue a corporate career in HR, worked for some awesome companies, and kept photography as my side hustle. When working in Boston I fell in love with a local bakery where I went to for lunch daily. I decided to email the owner and ask her if she would let me shoot some images of their yummy foods and the rest is the history. I fell in love with food photography and later discovered branding.

My husband and I own Kateryna Woodworks, which is a furniture manufacturing company here in Dover, NH. I am also the owner and designer at Kvitka Farm - a flower farm and a design studio. I am a part of the business community here on Seacoast and I am very passionate about helping small businesses like ours to grow and support each other. That's how I came up with becoming a full-time branding photographer.

After I found out I was pregnant with my second baby, I decided to pause my HR career and do what I truly love that will let me be with my kids more. I gave my notice, bought a brand new Sony camera, and went full force on growing my own brand here in Dover. I've been a full-time branding photographer since May 2023.

I am very lucky to do what I love for a living and be able to spend time with my family.
