Meet Katya
Hi, I’m Katya, the photographer behind Big Rock Photo. Originally from Kiev, Ukraine, I moved to the United States back in 2007. I first picked up my camera in 2008 and haven’t looked back since. What started as photographing my friends for fun quickly grew into a deep love for capturing people from all walks of life—seniors, families, kids, models, live shows, bands, and more.
Today, I run a busy photography business that offers full-scale shoots both on location and in-studio, as well as a wide array of mini-sessions, perfect for those who want to stay on budget, but still get those special shots that stay on our mantles for decades.
“Above all, I love photography because I love people.”
For me, photography isn’t just about the perfect shot—it is a way to connect, to pause time, and capture that inner spark that makes each person unique. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping someone feel seen, valued, and beautiful, just as they are. Whether it’s a portrait session or a family shoot, I bring my whole heart to every frame.
