Hi, I’m Cat.


I'm here for your real, imperfectly perfect family moments.


I know what it’s like to feel nervous in front of a camera or worry the kids will meltdown halfway through (been there, lived it with my own three!).


That’s why I take the lead, from helping you choose outfits that flatter, to gently guiding you through natural-feeling poses that still leave room for movement and personality.


My clients tell me I make it feel easy.


And that’s the goal, to give you space to just be together, while I handle the rest.

You were so professional, warm and relaxed to be around. You were also so confident and calming with our 10day old bub and helped us not be so awkward in front of the camera!

Joyful family moments captured in white as parents embrace their newborn.

"You made all of us feel super comfortable and you weren't afraid to pull out all the silliness to get some big smiles out of my toddler when she was completely done with the shoot too. I will cherish these photos for life."
