I first saw Katya in a gallery of Jim Cassat's a long time ago and have wanted to photograph her ever since. I saw a Model Mayhem post of hers indicating that she was in her last two weeks of pregnancy, so I finally jumped at the chance. This shoot was a real "twofer". I think it was worth the effort. What a model!

All shots were made with a Nikon D800 shooting manual at 1/125 and f/8 (usually) with one or two Hensel strobes at Studioarto in Rockville, MD. Great model, great studio.
