humanitarian work…
Kat Stiennon photographs with her heart. Professional dancers are photographed either gratis or at a very minimal cost. Her fine art ballet prints have raised thousands of dollars, via silent auctions: for dance, disabilities, women, and children’s charities. Kat began her charity mini sessions in 2020 with "The COVID Ballet Project," supporting American Red Cross COVID relief. She has donated her time as a photographer for Make-a-Wish Wisconsin. Kat has volunteered with various dance and art organizations. Moreover, she is a photography educator and mentor. All done with love.

She creates a really calm and safe space while you're working with her. And her reaction time is insane and the moments she captures are breath taking! I highly recommend working with her - You will be impressed.” - Michael Knight (Kanopy Dance Company Member) via Google Reviews

I feel so relaxed knowing she knows how to make the dancers’ lines look good and I can really focus on my artistry when i pose.
