i believe:
so let's RELEASE perfection AND EMBRACE ALL THe honest and AUTHENTIC pieces that make your SWEET FAMILY, yours.
After working in healthcare for 6 years with children with special needs & abilities as a pediatric occupational therapist, I have developed a skill set that ties wonderfully into my work as a photographer. Patience, an intuition for who needs what in every moment, and an ability to build rapport that leaves your kiddos asking, "Can Caitlin come over to play?!" The best part is that once you arrive to your session, or I arrive to your home, you are completely off the hook. All I ask is that you are ready to play and soak in each other's love, and I will take care of the rest. We'll keep it moving, let the laughter and emotions flow, and follow your children's lead. I will capture all those little details about you and your people and the love you share, to serve as a constant reminder through the tough days of why it's all so worth it, and why really, it's all that truly matters. Deal? Deal.
Nothing brings me more joy than documenting your family through the many seasons of life. My style is artful, joyful, sincere, and effortless. I believe that your family is perfect, just the way it is. Yes! Craziness and all. Come as you are and let's create stunning artwork to be hung on the walls of your home, serving as a daily reminder of all your blessings. I am based in Pasadena, California, but open to travel anywhere.

“It was an all around 10 out of 10 experience for us."
- the choi family
"The photos were the best we've ever gotten."
- the shannon family
"I want more than the classic holiday card photo."
"I want to feel moved by my family imagery."
"These moments are passing by too quickly - I wish I could freeze time."
"I deserve to be seen, too."
I believe that parenthood is the most important job on this planet, and hope to have the opportunity of honoring you through a collaborative, creative process. It's time to feel real joy, not stress, in the process of your photo session, & in absolute awe of the art we create together - guided by someone who just gets it (and is low-key a practicing child whisperer, too).
I won't be the cheapest photographer in the neighborhood, but that's because I believe captures of your love are far too valuable.
