Meet Katie, A Los Angeles Newborn Photographer

Welcome to the enchanting world of timeless baby photography! My name is Katie Katsenis, and I stand proudly as one of Los Angeles's preeminent maternity, newborn, and infant photographers. Allow me to share more about my journey and the passion I pour into capturing these precious moments.

As a Certified Professional Photographer, I distinguish myself in an industry where such credentials are rare. What sets me apart is not only my technical expertise but also the dedication to the safety and care of newborns, a commitment demonstrated through specialized training and posing classes.

With over 15 years of experience as a special education teacher in the Los Angeles Unified School District, my connection with families goes beyond the lens. This background instills in me a profound understanding of the delicate nature of working with infants, ensuring a nurturing and secure environment during our sessions.

For four transformative years, I apprenticed under the guidance of George Deloache, mastering the art of portrait photography. This mentorship laid the foundation for my distinctive approach, marked by a blend of traditional techniques and contemporary creativity.

Named after my beloved father, my business, "Panos," encapsulates the essence of family and legacy. Every photoshoot is a personal endeavor to craft images that transcend generations, leaving an indelible mark on your family's history.

My commitment to continuous learning led me to train with the renowned Ana Brandt in pregnancy and infant photography. This added expertise allows me to capture the essence of these magical moments with an artistic touch that elevates your images to heirloom status.

In my artistic process, I take pride in creating most of my own sets and props, ensuring a unique and personalized touch to every session. Digital painting is another skill in my repertoire, enhancing your images to become cherished highlights in your family's legacy.

Step into my comfortable, warm, and safe state of the  art  studio, where every detail is meticulously designed to provide the ideal backdrop for your baby's first portraits. It's not just about taking pictures; it's about crafting a visual narrative that immortalizes the magic of this special time in your life.

I am genuinely thrilled that you've chosen to explore the world of legacy baby images with me. Feel free to reach out, and let's embark on a conversation about how we can create enchanting memories for your family's future generations. Your journey into the world of newborn photography begins here.

I work out of my studio in Glendale, a neighborhood in Los Angeles. I have 2 dogs and a cat who I consider my family. People often ask what I do for "fun". The truth is, this second carreer as an infant photographer is my fun. I love so many elements about being photographer. I love the creative elements, I love the business parts (marketing and networking), and I really love photographing infants. I enjoy meeting and talking to my grown up clients and hearing their stories.

Photography is a social business with enough individuality to truly suit me.

Let's talk soon.
