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 home 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 home studio in Tujunga, 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.

My Why as A Los Angeles Pregnancy, Newborn and Baby Photographer
Welcome to Panos Photography, where every tiny detail of your pregnancy and the precious arrival of your newborn is beautifully immortalized through the lens. As a certified pregnancy and newborn photographer based in the heart of Los Angeles, I am often asked, "Why do you do what you do?" The answer is simple yet profound—it's all about My Why.
I believe in the miracle of each newborn baby. There's something truly magical about capturing those fleeting moments when a new life enters the world. From their tiny fingers and toes to their delicate features, every baby is a testament to the miracle of life itself. As a pregnancy and newborn photographer, I have the privilege of freezing these moments in time, allowing families to cherish them for generations to come.
But it's not just about the babies—it's also about celebrating motherhood in all its beauty and complexity. As a mother myself, I understand the joys and challenges that come with bringing a new life into the world. Through my photography, I strive to honor the incredible journey that mothers embark on from pregnancy to childbirth and beyond. Whether it's capturing the glow of an expectant mother or the tender bond between a newborn and their parent, I aim to highlight the strength, love, and resilience that define motherhood.
My journey as a pregnancy and newborn photographer is deeply personal. Growing up, I realized that I didn't always value my own mother as much as I should have. It wasn't until I became a mother myself that I truly understood the sacrifices she made and the love she poured into raising me. Now, as a photographer, I am driven by a desire to help others value and celebrate themselves as mothers. I want every mother to see the beauty and worthiness within themselves, just as I strive to capture it through my lens.
At Panos Photography, my mission goes beyond simply taking photographs. It's about creating a safe and nurturing space where mothers can feel seen, heard, and celebrated. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of your images, I am dedicated to providing an experience that is as special and unique as you are. Whether you're expecting your first child or adding to your growing family, I am here to document your journey with warmth, compassion, and artistry.
So why am I a pregnancy and newborn photographer? Because I believe in the power of photography to capture the beauty, joy, and love that define the miracle of life. Because I am passionate about celebrating motherhood in all its forms. And because I want to help others value themselves as much as they deserve. Thank you for considering me, Katie, to be a part of your journey—I can't wait to capture your special moments and turn them into timeless memories.
