“Working with Ryan was a complete pleasure from start to finish! He helped me choose a location, provided me with many pose options, and produced incredible photos of my girls that I will cherish forever!!”
“It was an absolute pleasure working with Ryan on our family photos. From start to finish, Ryan was extremely professional, prompt, and very attentive to our needs. He 110% cares about you as a client. We will use Ryan for all our future needs. We highly recommend his services!”
“Having a professional headshot is a privilege. Particularly to those of us who are first gens, BiPOC. [...] I'm so grateful that I have a friend in Katsanes Photography, that has allowed me access to that privilege. The privilege to wear a bright top, sit on a red couch, pose in a way I never thought would flatter my body type and show all my piercings. The privilege to be me and to like what I see in those photos.”
“Such a talented photographer with a great stylistic approach.”
“I was floored by his process. He is so engaging! He instantly made me feel at ease. Even though I would not consider myself photogenic, he does an amazing job of working the session. He even caught me smiling!! He also does a great job editing the photos and is very interactive with you about the shots you like or what changes the shots could use! Great photographer, would use him again!”
