About Me

Hey you!
I'm Katie Castaneda, and I'm hoping to be your photographer in our future shoot! I use she/her pronouns, and I am half Japanese and half Mexican. I'm bilingual, speaking English and Japanese.
I have a wide variety in what I shoot whether that'd be portrait, family, couples, editorial and sports. But specializing in portrait and sports/event photography, I feel the most consistent and creative in my work. I have gained well over 5 years of experience and 3 years of running a business with photography.
I have always been passionate about film and photography ever since I made my dad film a weather report with me when I was in 5th grade.
Although my school work and volleyball took me away for some time, I am glad to say that I have stuck with taking photos wherever I go.
Attending Western Washington University has allowed me to gain a sense of community and family, and I hope to do the same with my clients. My mission is for my clients to feel comfortable, confident, and fulfilled with the experience I provide during my sessions.
All I ask is that my clients be open to the experience I provide, and I hope to satisfy your cravings... for a fire photoshoot.
