Kathleen Ivy Photography Opens on Main Street

Submitted by the Reading-North Reading Chamber of Commerce

Kathleen Ivy Photography in North Reading offers a natural light studio and on location photography services.

The business was created by deaf portrait photographer Kathleen Santeusanio. She specializes in newborn, baby, children, teen, family, and senior photography. Kathleen’s passion for photography began when her husband Chris, a self-taught photographer, showed her how to use manual digital cameras.

She then developed more interest upon reading photography books, as well as attending workshops for newborn photography and basic DSLR. In July 2014, the National Association of Professional Child Photographers (NAPCP) took notice of Kathleen’s work and featured a portrait of her son as part of their 4th of July Round Up.

Kathleen explains her fascination with photography, “I love capturing memories and people’s expressions. I am on a personal quest to create world peace through color, laughter, and pretty light-- one picture at a time.” Kathleen lives in North Reading with her husband and 4-year-old son.
