Celebrating 10 years in business this week, Canberra-based professional photographer Katrina Burgers loves to empower women through photographic sessions that see their confidence skyrocket.
Tell us about your career path. What led you to where you are now?
“Photography has come full circle for me; 22 years ago I did my Year 10 work experience at a local print lab in a country town and from that point on I was photo obsessed. I worked in other areas prior to having our three children but nothing ever lit the fire inside like photography. A friend loaned me her camera when my second child was about six months old and it went from just being a hobby, to photographing friends and their children, to gaining clients, to being a full-service professional photographer. My amazing clients not only get a high-quality experience but they get beautiful archival quality albums and wall art so they get to admire their photographs every day in print.”
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
“I get to empower other women every time I have them in front of my camera. That is hands down the most rewarding thing I do. I get to show them their true essence through either their Boudoir or Glamour session; to see them arrive feeling nervous and then leave here ready to take on the world after seeing themselves in a whole new way is absolutely the game-changer for me.”
It’s also life-changing for the women she photographs – and lots of fun!
As well as creating a positive, transformative experience, Katrina is driven to deliver high-quality photography and high-quality products, so having the best Australian-based suppliers is vital.
“A photo doesn’t make the cull if it’s not perfect; I want my clients to have the best!”
