I am Catherine… a mother, a wife, a devout friend, a lover of life & people, a loyal advocate of good works, a light seeker, a sun searcher, a film-loving book nerd, a road-trippin’ fool, and a dog lover. I have worked as a photographer for the past 18 years from Seattle to New York and almost everywhere in between, and have been a bona-fide business owner for the last 7 years. I am a lone photographer, but I work closely with my husband Michael, who is my partner in every way possible and the design genius & level-headed support behind everything I do… and I often shoot alongside our daughter Madeline, who is a photographer in training and can meter a film shot like nobody’s business.
Together we are CALIMA. weddings… portraits… lifelong memories.

We love to travel, and I love to take photos while I travel! Aside from Seattle, I’ll also be available for hire in these fine cities:
Mérida, Yucatán, México // July 20-22
Lake Tahoe, Nevada // August 12-16
Minneapolis, Minnesota // September 23-27
New Orleans, Louisiana // November 11-15
Phoenix, Arizona // November 18-22
Miami, Florida // December 9-13
…and more cities & dates, to be announced soon!
