In my own words
Katya Goodman
Vitebsk · America · Motherhood · Beauty · Everyday lifeI am Katya Goodman. I am from Vitebsk, Belarus, and now my life also includes America. This is a portrait of the places, people, work, and ordinary moments that make up my life.
01 · Vitebsk
Where I come from.
I am from Vitebsk, Belarus. I see my city here in winter, in familiar interiors, and from high above—looking out from the tower of the Town Hall museum.
02 · Motherhood
Motherhood, at the center.
I am Mark’s mother. These photographs hold both the formal portraits and the easy days we share. Motherhood is not a separate role in my story; it is part of its center.
03 · Beauty / work
Beauty as ritual and craft.
I see beauty as pleasure, patience, and precision. I bring that same attention to my own rituals that I brought to learning lash work in 2024.
04 · Everyday life
The life between occasions.
I find a lot of life at home: cooking, making things, and exploring new places. These photographs hold the quieter rhythm of my days—the moments that do not need an occasion.
05 · Us
A life shared, in the frame.
These are a few photographs from the life I share: studio portraits, candid moments, and places experienced together.
