Katie Russo is a photographer working in Vernon, CT
“As a young woman, I found myself face-to-face with the challenges that come with the self-doubt, pressures and insecurities that tend to plague many of us. So, when the opportunity to unveil an exquisite woman’s divinity to herself arose, I knew that my calling was to hold space for her while working to uncover her strengths. If I can inspire surety and confidence, I consider that a true success.
To say that this process is so much more than a photo being taken would be an understatement. This is truly a magical experience, one that is filled with nurture, truth and empowerment. There is so much gratification that comes with knowing that the moments we create and capture together will be looked at in fondness when hanging on the wall of your space. “
