Get to know ME

And that’s you! I have a unique ability to relate with just about anyone. It’s probably because connection is my love language. I became a photographer because I believe photos have the power to preserve relationships and bond us to experiences otherwise forgotten. My favorite thing in the world is to see you living in the moment, carefree and relaxed, genuinely enjoying the love you share. And, bonus, with me there, you have pretty photos to remember it by! 

I believe in heartfelt conversations (preferably shared over a glass of wine or two!)...Most of all, I believe in creating images that tell who you really are, from the quiet moments to the ones bursting with joy. I believe your legacy deserves the whole story. 

But my friends call me Cathi…

I’m Catherine
