KATHRYN SKVARLA

PHOTOGRAPHY + VISUAL ARTIST

BASED IN EVERETT, WA 

Hi there!

​

My name is Kathryn and I am an artist from Seattle, Washington. As a kid I loved playing and creating stories through photography and video and was often found filming and directing my friends and fellow neighbor kids in mini movies and burning them on DVDs for when we evidently become famous. This hobby became a way for me to nurture my creativity even into adulthood when I chose to study film studies in college and not something useful like accounting. 

 

Even though I am no Spielberg, I love to take inspiration of cinema and art and translate it into my own style of photography. I especially love to explore the human condition, spirituality, horror, fashion, nature, and fantasy. I am also finding joy in expanding my art to underwater portraiture to open worlds in unseen ways. 

​

I want to do more than just take your photo. I want to tell your story and have those conversations that matter. I want to help you create the dream you never thought you could see yourself in. Lets build a concept together and get weird with it.

Testimonials

As someone who specializes in conceptual portrait photography, I wanted to work with a photographer who would approach my maternity shoot with the same artistic vision and attention to detail that I bring to my own work. Kathryn of Skvarla Photography was exactly that and more. Her vision, creativity, and attention to detail transformed my Freyja-inspired session into something truly magical.

    Every photo feels like a masterpiece—capturing strength, beauty, and divinity in a way that is both powerful and timeless. Kathryn’s skill and direction made me feel confident and radiant throughout the process. If you’re looking for a photographer who brings artistry and care to every shot, I cannot recommend Kathryn enough. Thank you for creating work I will treasure forever!
