Meet Katie Michelle Oganezov
Chicago maternity, newborn, and family photographer, serving families across the Chicago area from her Arlington Heights base since 2023.
Hi there, I’m Katie! I’m a Chicago portrait photographer specializing in maternity, newborn, and family sessions. My style is timeless, light, and airy, and my aim is always to capture the authentic emotion and love in your family.
Photography began as something personal. In 2023, I rented a camera to photograph my twin daughters’ first birthday and fell in love with creating memories for my family. That love grew into Katie Michelle Photography, and today I work with families across the Chicago area from my home base in Arlington Heights, Illinois — meeting you on location or at a studio near you.
When I’m not behind the lens, I’m a mom of 4 (including twins) and a dog mom to two doodles. That means I know how to keep a session calm, playful, and comfortable, no matter how little your little ones are.
Professional memberships
I’m a member of the National Association of Portrait and Child Photographers (NAPCP), a professional community for photographers who specialise in newborns, children and families.
