I have been photographing couples, families, and fellow sentimental souls professionally since early 2023. Photography was, initially, a creative outlet for me as I worked through a bunch of life changes like the death of my dad & nana, moving to a new state, and joining the corporate world. I discovered my passion for preserving authentic, meaningful moments, big and small, & dove headfirst into my photography full-time. And I've never looked back.
I'm driven by emotions and connection in my photography and it's all because of my most favorite photos (like the ones of me hugging my nana and dancing in the rain with my younger brother while listening to the High School Musical soundtrack). With a living room & basement full of photo albums and prints, I realized the most remembered moments of life are the ones captured in the images I keep on nightstands, hanging on walls, and preserved in albums. So my mission is to capture your authentic moments for your story to be displayed on your walls and desks and even your fridge.
As a wedding photographer in Port Huron, Michigan I love taking the time to meet for coffee, to connect with my couples on a deeper level so I can capture their story authentically and help them stay rooted to what matters: them.
is to capture authentic moments of connection and tell a sentimental story in images.
I’m pretty adventurous but you’d never guess it because I live for being home & cozy. I’ve been on a helicopter & hiked a glacier in Alaska, hiked (a small) part of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and parasailed in Florida.
I love video games. While I'm absolutely terrible at Call of Duty Zombies & Minecraft (but will totally still play with you), I slay at organizing my virtual farm and figuring out puzzles on Legend of Zelda & Super Mario.
We have a tuxedo cat named Willie Nelson that my family rescued when he was abandoned on the side of the road. We call him William when he's in trouble & he will 100% steal meatballs off your plate when your head is turned the other way. My husband is his best friend and I'm the spare human with the cozy heating pad.
I'm a fantasy/romantasy book girly. My top favorite will always be Lord of the Rings, but I also love having my heart ripped out repeatedly by reading Throne of Glass, Red Queen, and Fourth Wing.
I'm a big dreamer. My current dream, outside of being a wedding photographer, is to have a small u-cut flower field with all the colorful flowers and open a wedding venue some day.
FUN FACTS
-Loren & Lou
Our wedding day was chaotic, but Catie kept us on schedule & my family/friends loved her! Her photo style (light & airy) is natural & not overly color saturated! If you're on the fence, just do it because you'll be glad you did!
Where do I begin! Catie is phenomenal, plain & simple. I honestly don't know what I would've done without her.
-Kelly & Aaron
She was so kind to direct us but also gave us room to be ourselves and it really shows in our pictures! Catie was quick to provide us our gallery and I can truly say I love all of our photos!
Wow.. Catie was not only a gem to work with but her photos captured even more than I could have imagined.
-Alexis & Dan
Catie was amazing from the start. She answered all my questions in our first email. She was professional yet easy to talk to. We did engagement & wedding day photos with her & we will be using her again!
Catie made the day so special & captured every shot that was important to us. She was fantastic to work with.
-The Simpsons
I can not say enough about Catie! From making me feel comfortable & confident at my boudoir shoot to helping keep everyone & everything on track while also photographing our wedding, she has been FANTASTIC!
I will continuously recommend this woman for anyone looking to get photos done!
