hey, I'm catherine

I'm a wedding & elopement photographer who loves her job through-and-through

My story really began the moment I finally said no. No to the desk job that didn't feed my soul.

My husband and I moved to Colorado in 2015, and I knew it was the perfect opportunity to pursue a career that truly lit me up. What started as a photography hobby quickly turned into a full-time business—and I’ve been photographing families ever since.

These days, I specialize in studio and outdoor family portraits, boudoir, and headshots. I shoot out of a beautiful shared studio space that I rent with a group of talented photographers, and I love the creative energy it brings. Whether we’re documenting your growing family, capturing a quiet moment of self-celebration, or updating your headshot, my goal is always the same: to help you feel seen, confident, and completely yourself.

My heart is kept full every day thanks to the love and support of my husband, Johnny, our son, Harrison, our daughter, Sloane.  I’m so thankful for this life and feel incredibly humbled to capture meaningful moments for families, individuals, and women stepping into their confidence. It’s an honor to do this work—and I don’t take it for granted.


My style in one word would be authentic, and my approach is photo-journalistic.

I strive to capture people as they truly are—natural, relaxed, and fully themselves. Whether it's a playful family session, a quiet, confident boudoir shoot, or a headshot that feels authentically you, my goal is always to create images that feel honest and full of life.

In short, creating is what I was made for. Getting to know the people I photograph, hearing their stories, and helping them feel seen through my lens is where my passion lives. I want to see the photos of your kids, hear what makes you laugh, and give you a photography experience that feels easy, fun, and genuinely you.


I became engaged shortly after I opened my photography business. The experience of being a bride helped shape me into the photographer I am today. My photographer was incredible, and helped me so much on the day of my wedding to feel relaxed and well taken care of. She not only delivered a beautiful gallery, but an amazing experience along the way.

And now i want to do the same for you.

My husband, Johnny, and I the day after our wedding in mexico

This is my husband Johnny. Our love story is both typical (met at a bar) and unique. I fell in love with him the first night I met him.  We forgot we arrived with our friends and spent the entire night talking to each other about our past struggles and future dreams. We share an energy that is hard to explain. He is the reason I had the courage to change my career and the never ending support to continue through all the hardships. 

My Baby,
Harrison

I can't share about me without sharing about my son, harrison.

Born in March 2021, he is the light of my life and has given me a reason bigger than myself to work hard and make the most of every single day.

providing for him is my why.

Photography is about light, composition, and most importantly, emotion.
