Meet Katya—she's not just a professional makeup artist but also a fitness and yoga enthusiast, currently training for her first marathon this year! We've been a dynamic duo behind the camera for years, and collaborating with her to capture these images was an absolute pleasure. Follow her journey at @katyagudaevalife.
We shot these images in the early morning light of West Seattle, where the play of cool and warm tones reflected across the Puget Sound creates a magical atmosphere. As a photographer, there's something truly special about capturing athletes like Katya. Their hard work and dedication are incredibly inspiring, and it's an honor to celebrate their journey through my lens.
