Katie Nees

design a tivity is proud to present Katie Nees of Maya K. Photography.
When you have your child’s photo taken, you want more than just a record of their features.  You want to capture their quirks, their personality, their temperament — all the little things about them that give you so much joy every day.

I have found that the best way to do that is to approach kids on their turf and their schedule.  That’s why my “studio” comes to you, making your session as stress-free as possible and forever changing how your kids feel about having their picture taken!  At your home or another familiar place, I create a mixture of simple, striking portraits and artful candid shots, so that you end up with a sort of photo-essay telling the story of your children with images that are both beautiful and fun.

I love pictures because a photograph is never rushed.  You can see things in that motionless frame that you don’t have the opportunity to notice at the speed of your life.  I strive to let the atmosphere of where you are right now come through, so that whenever you look at that image, you’re right there in the moment once again.

I believe that children are the most beautiful gift we could ever receive. I feel honored to be able to participate in the lives of my clients. My job is to capture the magic and joy of childhood in the most poetic way, unobtrusively, honestly, joyfully.

Well versed in the latest portraiture trends and modern styles, I have boutique photography studio, geared towards a distinctive clientele. My approach delivers the perfect combination of timeless elegance and fresh, contemporary style.

I focus on capturing the innocence and individuality of each child trying to highlight the laughter, tears, and passion a family feels naturally. Understanding that each child is unique in their style, and personality, I produce images that reflect that individuality.

Jefrey Fiterman was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He became interested in photography at the age of six when his father gave him a 35mm camera
On a hiking trip.  Years later, armed with his passion for the camera, he packed up his ‘67 Ford Mustang and headed to sunny California to attend Brooks Institute of Photography.  Since then he has worked for clients from MTV to Seven7 Jeans and Venice Magazine.  Most Recently he was the official photographer for the Britney Spears Circus Tour.  He currently resides in Los Angeles.

The style of Goddess Incognito evolved during a Jungian Theory course in graduate school. Goddess images began to emerge from her mandala art work required for the course & from her note margins during lectures. She feels that we all have inner gods/goddesses, incognito and otherwise, and like her art, we all evolve, learn, change and grow through our life journey.

Amy’s medium of choice, “regular” color crayons, keeps her work expressive & to the essence of the nature of her true self. She does welcome commissioned work – either drawing, painting or mixed media pieces. She also welcomes comments, interpretations & meaningful conversation regarding art & the universe.”
