Voted Portland’s Best Fashion Photographer 2018-2019
by Portland Fashion & Style Awards
Hello!
My name is Myles Katherine. I'm an artist to my core and I am so lucky to have the opportunity to do what I love. I’ve been a full-time photographer since 2012 and my job has taken me all over the world! I'm originally from Lynchburg, Virginia but lived in Portland, Oregon from 2012-2019. In 2019 I relocated to Richmond, Virginia. I shoot both film and digital, though I have a deep love for film photography. Using cameras like the Holga (my favorite), Mamiya 645, Contax T2 and various polaroid and 35 mm cameras, I'm always searching for variety and magic. My work is constantly growing and changing and I'm excited to have you on this journey with me.
I also wrote a book! My first book, Temporary Beauty: A Memoir about Panic Disorder and Finding Purpose through Art and Meditation, is available here. :)
Can’t wait to create with you!
Love, Myles Katherine

“Myles was such a fun photographer. Our engagement photo shoot was such a blast. She never made us feel awkward or posed. Our pictures were so whimsical and light hearted. We really enjoyed the experience and would recommend her to anyone who needed a photographer. – Olivia Ludwick”
“I absolutely loved spending my engagement shoot with Myles. She takes her time with every shot and her passion for art comes through very clearly. When I received my pictures I was amazed at the quality and beauty and so was everyone else that saw them. My lifetime memories are perfect and I only have Myles to thank for that. Look no further than her and if you book her, you are one lucky person. -Oana Nita”
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Myles on numerous occasions. She’s an amazing photographer! She helps put you at ease during the shoot and makes the entire experience enjoyable. Her pictures are artistic and beautiful and her turnaround time for getting the photos back to me has always been super quick. I would definitely recommend her for any occasion you may have! – Jenn Abbott”
“Myles takes the most magical pictures! I love the way she sees things in a different light and captures the uniqueness in all her photos! I would most definitely use her when needing a photographer and would recommend her to all those looking for an excellent photographer! – Natalie Stowell”
