Cathy's blog is a living breathing thing - full of stories behind the portraits and moments she has captured through photography.

Many frequently asked questions are also covered in blog post for easy access.

Throughout this blog you will find great advise on how to make your session experience a good one but you will also read emotional and real stories about the subjects.  We plan to incorporate some video testimonials as well from the mouths of her clients themselves - there's nothing more powerful than a woman sharing her heart with others.  That is worth searching for...and then
