My name is Catherine and I was born and raised in San Francisco. I am a wife, mom to four kids and in addition to photography, I am Birth and Postpartum Doula.
My favorite drinks are a cappuccino and champagne. I spend most of my free time in the yard, journaling or listening to a podcast because kids keep me busy and I NEED alone time.
I love taking photos because it allows varying perspectives of what life looks like. Photos hold an empowering force that captures beauty within hard changes and documents the hope in the unknown. It keeps record of the good, yet tiring seasons; but reminds us that we've survived. Photos are a way to look back at a moment and all of a sudden be at one with that emotion again.
The emotion when life was added, the feeling when circumstances changed; the thought that "I am not enough". Through a new perspective, you're looking at your baby, child, or maybe yourself overcome by a feeling that only you'll know and understand. Somehow it's full of joy, complex and extremely, victorious.
