About

PHOTOGRAPHER FOR ADVENTUROUS LOVERS,

SUN CHASERS, & CREATIVE SOULS

I've always had the desire to create. I passionately believe that these are more than just photographs, and using that passion to capture your memories brings me nothing but pure joy. Your pictures should bring out the best in you and capture the beauty of every moment. Plus we get to listen to music, drink great coffee, & explore some beautiful places!

I’m a passionate person -- I fight hard, love harder. I feel everything in a big way and I always have. That passion is a big part of what makes me so good at what I do, constantly working to grow and expand on all levels. The wedding community has historically shown one type of couple, and it’s time to step up and make a change, including in myself. I’m promising to do better, be better, at not only celebrating the incredible POC and Queer love I get to photograph, but lifting up their community of vendors within the industry.

Your love and your story deserves to be shared and I am honored to do so.

I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with you and can't wait to share this adventure with you.

Fun, Professional, and Talented

We had Cat take our engagement and wedding photos and it was an amazing experience from beginning to end. Her positive energy makes it so fun and easy in front of the camera, and she is also amazingly professional and did such a good job wrangling our families and getting through all the group shots on our wedding day. Our photos turned out so stunning, she captured every important moment and details I wouldn't have thought of. Absolutely hire Cat!

Tens across the board!!

Stop what you’re doing and contact her right now! We are so incredibly amazed and impressed by her quality work, professionalism, and kindness. We booked Cat for both our engagement shoot and wedding photography and we’re so happy with our decision. Before our initial meeting, she had already looked up our venue and had a portfolio ready with all her work that showcased her ability to photograph events with dim lighting and low natural light. Neither of us are very comfortable behind the camera but Cat made us feel like supermodels and directed us perfectly! Not only was she quick but she gave us so many photos! Every time we look at our gallery, it feels like we see another photo that we had never seen before. If we could, we’d have Cat photograph every event in our life. Thank you so much, Cat!

Flawless!!

Cat is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She takes the time to care about each and every picture, we were lucky to have her for the short time she was in Ohio. She bared the cold with us for 3 foot deep snowy engagement pictures. She was then there for every moment of our wedding day. Following us along for all of the crazy things we added to our day. She took the time to make sure my dress was bustled correctly and took the most amazing pictures that my husband and I could have ever dreamed of. Her kindness and experience helped em stay calm and take time to be in the moment. Everything was more special because of her and we could not have imagined our day more beautiful photographed!

Cat is amazing!

Cat was wonderful as a photographer. She made my husband and I, who are not typically picture people, feel comfortable and the wedding pictures were just stunning and she was respectful of the requests I had made prior to the wedding. We also had a meeting before had that was very supportive and relaxing. She got our pictures to us very quickly. I am so happy that I chose her!!! I look forward to working with her in the future for other life events!

Personable, Quality service, Gorgeous Photos

From start to finish I really felt like Cat cared about our wedding day as much as we did. She was highly responsive in all the before wedding coordinating, she gave expert advice whenever we had questions, made recommendations to other fabulous wedding vendors, and even shared in all the joy with us and our guests on our wedding day. She practically felt like a member of the family that day! To say we had extreme value for the price is an understatement. Cat really told a story about our day with our photos and made us all look and feel beautiful. These are photos I would decorate my home with. We even had a merchant request to use Cats photos for their Etsy shop of an item I reviewed with one of Cat’s photos.

An essential part of our special day

Honestly we can't say enough amazing things about our experience with Cat. She was extremely helpful, enthusiastic and supportive all day. She seemed to be one step ahead of us and it was so needed and appreciated as it made our day that much more smooth, seamless and enjoyable. And then the photos!!!! Cannot believe the level of talent you have Cat, just so beautiful and magical. Absolutely captured the essence of how love filled and perfect our wedding day was. We will cherish these photos and memories for the rest of our lives, thank you thank you thank you.

world's best wedding photographer

Cat is more than a wedding photographer, she is a magician and witch of capturing the most beautiful and breathtaking moments on the biggest day of your life. Every time I look at our wedding photos I want to cry seeing all of the emotion and beauty she captured from every minute of that day. Cat is a dream to work with, I have no idea how she managed to get all our family photos done as fast as she did (there's a lot of family and a lot of wandering kids!) but she somehow managed to get incredible photos of everyone present without taking time away from us enjoying our wedding. Hiring Cat is the best decision you could make for your wedding. She studies and reflects your personal style and taste, she goes above and beyond more than anyone I've ever met, and she treats every detail with precision and love. We'll be coming back to Cat to help capture every milestone that life brings us!

Cat is AMAZING! We connected instantly and her vision of photos is incredible. We received so many sneak peaks after our big day and when the album was done I was in tears! Her photos are so incredible and beautiful, she captured our day perfectly. So fun to work with, I super highly recommend her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
