About Me

Biography

Born in Ukraine and graduating from law school there, I, Katrine Moite, have traversed continents to call New York City my home. In the bustling heart of Manhattan, I've established my own photography studio, focusing primarily on capturing the timeless essence of maternity and motherhood.

My journey into the world of photography began with humble origins. Armed with little more than a camera, two lenses, and a handful of free shoots, I embarked on a quest to find my own unique style. 

Amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, I took a leap of faith and ventured into studio ownership, carving out a space for myself in the concrete jungle of Midtown Manhattan. Though the path to success was fraught with hurdles, perseverance fueled my journey, eventually leading me to my current, larger studio.

Luckily, my dedication to photography has not gone unnoticed, as evidenced by the accolades bestowed upon me.
