About Close Enough Photography
Hi! I'm Katya, a portrait photographer who takes the job of framing your future memories very seriously. I've been calling myself a photographer for 11 years, worked with people for the last 8 of them, and took on building a photography business half a year ago. I have extensive experience and am now in the sweet spot that allows me to deliver dozens of pictures you will cherish for many years while prioritizing your comfort and ease during the shoot and offering a sliding scale with a low starting point. The name Close Enough comes from a famous quote by Robert Capa, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough". While I strive to offer a wide variety of pictures after every shoot and challenge the limitations of my photographic style, I will always take some time to get close enough — both decreasing the physical distance between my camera lens and my subject and finding an emotional connection that will help me create meaningful shots. I love candids, underexposed portraits, emotional close-ups on hands, eyes, lips — and I will always listen to your ideas and implement them as much as I can. By education and during the day, I am a childcare professional with training in child psychology and working with children with autism. I have a deep understanding of how to make a family session with a baby or a young child work best, happy to talk in depth about possible accomodations, and I absolutely will sing nursery rhymes as much as needed :) I would be honored to capture this moment in your life: your senior dog, your newborn, your graduation, family reunion, concert, first home, engagement — just reach out! I will help you find a perfect place, you will have a wonderful time, and we will laugh, or even cry. It will be worth it. *lgbtqia+ owned and friendly, immigrant owned, always welcoming clients from marginalized communities, always offering affordability. "Art is not business! Art is food.

Working with Close Enough Photography was an incredible experience and we will be working with her again. She is very accommodating and the photos are spectacular! She was able to capture our first ever family photos in such a beautiful and organic way. Thank you!!!
Katya was AMAZING. She was everything we could have asked for and more. They had an exceptional talent for selecting the most suitable prompts, poses, and inspirations that perfectly aligned with our vision. While accepting a last-minute photoshoot request wasn’t an easy task, she truly went above and beyond to transform this shoot into a dream come true. Thank you so much for your exceptional service!
We had such a wonderful experience with Katya!She was very professional, friendly, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the photoshoot. She captured every moment beautifully, and the pictures turned out absolutely amazing. We truly loved how natural and beautiful the photos look. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and wonderful photographer
Wonderful experience! I had made the realization that I had wanted newborn photos of my son 5 weeks postpartum, and felt that I had missed the train. Working with Katya, I feel like everything worked out perfectly! We found a time quickly, and she was exactly on time. She was patient with our son and us, taking her time to find the best moment to capture her photos. We are very happy with the photo album, and could not have asked for a better experience.
We had such a wonderful experience with Katya. She was so kind and professional and captured beautiful posed and candid moments at our son’s birthday. We would highly recommend her!
Katya has exceeded my expectation of my home photoshoot. She did a great job in both candid portraits and landscape photos. She gave us a lot of time, listened to our ideas and even sang a song for my son so that he smiles at the camera. We are very happy with the editing too. The pictures came out perfect. She arrives on time, and delivers the photos on time too. She is great!
My boyfriend and I were looking for an affordable and kind photographer and Ekaterina was exactly that. We are high school students so flexibility was huge for use and she was flexible in so many ways throughout the process. She was super friendly and helpful and we overall had such a great time. The photos were EXACTLY what I pictured them being and more.
"We had the most wonderful experience with Katya for our 6-month family and baby shoot! She was incredibly professional and made the whole session feel relaxed and enjoyable. What really stood out was how naturally she connected with our baby — keeping them comfortable and happy throughout. She worked quickly and efficiently without ever making it feel rushed. We couldn't be happier with the experience and would highly recommend Katya to any family looking for a photographer who truly understands how to work with little ones!"
