Capture Timeless Moments with Katsanes Photography

Hi, I’m Ryan

Sessions with me are light-hearted. It’s how I am around everyone, friends, family, and clients. My personality tends to get along with everyone. I generally find it easy to discover shared interests or experiences, and I use those to break down any nervousness or apprehension about the session.

Testimonials

“Ryan more than exceeded my expectations. […] The entire gallery turned out incredible. His artistry beautifully captured the love of my daughter and my relationship, as well as our personalities. His use of light and texture gave the images a warmth and feel of photos I have dreamt of having my entire life. He and his assistant (wife) were a pleasure to work with and listened to translate my vision perfectly. I highly recommend Ryan and will most certainly hire him again.”

“Ryan did a FANTASTIC job with my daughter’s senior portraits. I would *HIGHLY* recommend his service to fulfill your photography needs. He is very professional and has a great eye for the perfect shot.”

Jay M.

“I hired Ryan Katsanes to do headshots for business use. I needed to have professional-level shots for LinkedIn, interactive resume, and networking use. 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!! Ryan is super accommodating of requests, I used a variety of coats and asked for different views. He also does a great job editing the photos and is very interactive with you about the shots you like or what changes you think the shots could use! Great photographer, would use him again!”

“I loved working with Ryan and I couldn’t be happier with how my photos came out. It was a wonderful experience.”

Kleio M.

“Ryan responded quickly and was flexible and made us feel at ease and confident in our choice. He provided clothing suggestions specific to our location and anticipated weather. He spent over an hour with us and took hundreds of shots. He provided us with an online gallery and supplied us with a very easy process to contact him and pay for services online and through email. He took the time to be thorough and listen to our needs and wants and provided appropriate feedback to help us achieve our goals.”

Dane H.

“I had a great experience with Ryan and was very pleased with his attention to customer service and with the finished photos.”

Donna R.

“Ryan took our family photos at our home. We are thrilled with how they turned out. He captured some wonderful, unexpected moments and the personality of our family. He was great (and motivating) for my 6-year-old to cooperate! After the fact, my husband (who is not into getting his photo taken) even mentioned how comfortable it was working with Ryan.”

Why I Became A Photographer in Vancouver, Washington

Having spent just under 20 years in IT as an engineer and then as a consultant, I was burnt out. Since moving to Vancouver back in 2008, I’ve developed a sense of pride in “our side of the river”, and I wanted to join the local business community. For over 15 years, I wanted to do photography full-time instead of just part-time, so in 2018, I decided to go for it.
Today, I aim to provide excellent customer service, refined products, a phenomenal experience, and fantastic photography for my customers in Vancouver and the greater Portland metropolitan area.
