Hi, I’m Katherine, owner of Kaptured by Kat Photography, a Long Island-based Newborn & Family Photographer.

I’m often called the “Baby Whisperer,” and it’s a title that comes from the heart. With years of raising my own children and the experience of photographing over 1,000 newborns, I’ve developed a natural intuition for what each baby needs. I can always sense exactly how to calm a fussy little one, using gentle techniques, professional swaddling and wrapping skills, and proven tricks to help them drift into peaceful sleep. My calm, patient presence helps create those serene, beautiful newborn images parents cherish forever.

I'm a true artist at heart, with a deep passion for creating meaningful, fine-art portraits, not just of newborns, but with every family and subject I photograph. That same intuition and calm energy carries over into every session I shoot. When I'm capturing beautiful milestone sessions, my goal is to create a fun, playful atmosphere where children feel comfortable being themselves, resulting in genuine smiles and joyful images families treasure. I also love photographing maternity sessions, family milestones, events and other meaningful moments, where I create fine-art portraits that reflect the unique spirit of each person and family in front of my camera.
