ABOUT

Hi! I’m Caitlin. I live in Costa Mesa, California with my husband Dave in our humble home. I'm passionate about learning, living simply, and capturing the beauty of the world around me. I am a freelance visual storyteller (photo + video) and consider myself a listener first and a storyteller second. I take a documentary style approach to all of my work, and believe you can only tell a good story as good as you can slow down, be present, observe, feel & listen. I love creating space for others to be themselves, capturing the beauty of their truth, and giving them space to reflect & celebrate what is most meaningful.

When I’m not creating, I love exploring new places, enjoying my city (ideally in the form of ramen, tacos, or coffee!), and getting lost in Spotify playlists.

I'd love to hear your story & create something meaningful together! To view my wedding videography work, please visit Iron & Fern.

MY APPROACH

If you’re here, you’ve done a beautiful thing – you’ve taken a pause from all of the ‘busy’ to marvel at the beauty of your life, celebrate and savor the ‘now’, and leave a tangible visual legacy for your children. This season (wherever you are) is beautiful, messy and fleeting – and your photos should reflect that. My approach is simple: I want to capture your truth, to make you feel like you’re hanging with an old friend, to invite you into moments of meaningful connection & reflection together (rather than merely “pose” you), and to create something that is beautiful together. I love hearing about the places and rituals that best represent what this season holds for you & dreaming up how we can incorporate these things into your shoot! Whether you’d like to go for an outdoor adventure for some dreamy golden hour shots or keep it simple by making a meal together and taking a walk around your neighborhood, I am honored to be along for the adventure and so excited to create with you.
