HEY THERE! I’m Catie.

If you’re looking for a photographer that wants you to force a grin and look at the camera then you’ve come to the wrong place.

I believe in creating moments, not faking them.

As your photographer, I want to get to know you. Let’s create memories that you can’t wait to look back on. Capturing the essence of you is what I do best.

“Not only is Catie great at what she does, but she is just a breath of fresh air...sweet-natured, unpretentious, calm but upbeat & so good with people of ALL walks of life. She has a way of revealing her subjects in the most flattering way/& capturing fleeting moments (of both action & emotion). You literally can’t go wrong with hiring her for any kind of portrait because she’ll nail it: newborn, family, wedding, boudoir, professional headshots etc.

When I like a product & I like a person, it makes me feel good to know I’m contributing to the success of their small business, especially for someone like Catie who has the kindest heart AND is an exceptional talent. You really will get the best of all worlds with her + gain a friend for life because you won’t want to let her go!”

I’ve been thinking a lot about the word peace, and how much it can be paired with. There’s a paradox in how peace can complement that which it contradicts, and I believe this is so perfectly exemplified in the mountains. An intense thunde

Window to another world. I find ice arches so mesmerizing. Like a rock arch, but evolving so much faster. Sculpted by the elements, and passing through phases of melting, shifting, rolling, and crackling. I was lucky enough to sit by this arch for
The Adélie penguin. Although these birds lost their ability to fly some 60 million years ago, they evolved to become incredible belly floppers. 🏷️ . . . . . . . #oceanwideexp #antarcticadventure #antarcticambassadors #thepolartravelcompa
When I boarded this ship, I had two goals: to photograph Antarctica, and to become more comfortable traveling alone. I’m a people person, so I figured some solo time would be a challenge worth taking. Plus, who needs humans when you’re su
I dreamed of making it to this continent for nearly two decades, and the little Texan in me still can’t believe her eyes. 📷 Dan Nahum Thanks to the whole @oceanwideexp crew & fellow travelers for any amazing experience.
I’ve been back in Argentina for two days, and yet the Antarctic still feels so close. I stand motionless, and I feel the movement of the Drake Passage. I sit in silence, and I hear the sounds of a glacier giving birth to icebergs. I close my ey
There’s something about a jagged mountain peak in the fog that makes my heart skip a beat. Waited all day for the clouds to part from this one and the view sure was spectacular.

The in-between moments on your wedding day will always be my favorite.
