Meet Cat

Film Photographer taking self portrait

Cat is a photographer living and working in the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area. Her work is for the artist, the weirdo, and those who want their milestone photographed from a place of artistic intention, curiosity, + storytelling.

Her priority is bringing artistic value into her offerings along with documenting your day as it unfolds. Trust is essential to her creative process + quirkiness is always welcome.

As of 2025, Cat mainly photographs intimate weddings and elopements but is available for artful portraiture and documentary, in-home family sessions. Cat travels often and would be thrilled to meet you anywhere your story takes you.
