I bring the experience to you — using years of natural light mastery and warm direction to create high-end photos in the comfort of your home or amongst the beautiful landscapes of Aotearoa.
Whether you're celebrating new life, growing your whānau, or just want to slow down and be seen — I’ll help you feel relaxed, confident, and truly connected in every frame.
Calm, considered, and created with care
With over five years of working exclusively with natural light, I know how to use it beautifully in all kinds of homes. You'll get polished, professional images — without the stress of leaving your space.
During your session, I’ll guide you gently and clearly. You’ll never feel unsure or over-posed. Instead, we create space for comfort, connection, and images that feel like you.
I keep my calendar intentionally light so every whānau receives the time and care they deserve. This is not about rushing — it’s about presence, softness, and storytelling that lasts.
Client Feedback
“Cat's genuine kindness and down to earth nature allowed our family to just be ourselves while she captured all the love and craziness and rare quiet moments in between. Her juggling abilities are next level, photographing 6 people and making sure we all felt comfortable and managing young kiddos is far from easy but she handled it perfectly! The kids had the time of their lives and were asking to go back, new fave person hehe. Thank you so much Cat!”
Client Feedback
“Every interaction with Cat felt so sincere and just that genuine kindness paired with the incredible mahi she produced has me dreaming of working with this gal for years! Another important thing to note, is that my eldest child has ASD. When she met my daughter, every anxiety and fear I had dissolved with how patient and nurturing Cat was throughout. Something else I appreciated was how smooth the booking process was. Everything was clear and easy to understand”
Client Feedback
“I was in AWE of how amazing Cat was with our toddler. She was kind, funny, interactive, and so understanding. She knew just how to get some amazing shots, all while keeping him happy and entertained at the same time. Truly amazing! Cat was so gentle with our newborn too, even down to changing her nappies and resettling her. All this contributed to making it an insanely relaxing and enjoyable experience. The photos we received are beyond incredible, we will cherish for the rest of our lives”
Client Feedback
“Cat is AMAZING!!!! We don't generally like to take pics but she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Loved the experience and would definitely highly recommend her. She's also very down to earth and the overall results and pics we got were beyond anything we could have imagined. Thank you again Cat!”
Client Feedback
“Cat made it so much easy and stress free for us. She was so patient with my son and was so mindful at the fact that we are having issues with feeding/latching which just made the whole experience so much nicer for both dad and I. We love Cat and are so grateful to have been photographed by her 3x”
Client Feedback
