hi hello
my name is caitlin

I have a love for being behind the lens - for capturing moments in a heartbeat, and encompassing all things as beautiful as they are in their moment. Natural, authentic, and real. I love photographing a bit of everything, but focus mostly on capturing lovers in all stages of life, and businesses. 

I'm currently based in Katoomba, The Blue Mountains NSW, on Dharug and Gundungurra country, and visit Newcastle and its surrounds often on Awabakal and Woromi country, but am able to travel as far as need be! I love to photograph people, love stories, small businesses, musicians, creatives, food, as well as adventures and lifestyle. I love meeting people whilst working, so if there’s humans involved, I’m keen!

I hope to meet so many different types of people and capture what they need the most (whether that’s memories from their wedding or elopement, or content for their business).

Let's meet someday!

a bit more about me

If I’m not dancing my way through beautiful weddings and elopements with lovers and legends, or standing on furniture to get ‘the shot’ for local businesses, I’m most likely outdoors rock climbing and adventuring with my partner, friends, and the ever-so-accommodating climbing community. I’ve been rock climbing since 2016, and never looked back. It’s such a magical and big part of my life, so much so that it influenced me relocating from Newcastle to the Blue Mountains back in 2022. Living among the heritage-listed national park, with hikes, trails, waterfalls, climbing areas, canyons and so much more at my doorstep, I am always off adventuring when I don’t have a camera in my hand.

Currently, during 2024, I am living a big dream of mine - living on the road in Europe and climbing to my heart’s content! I’m still ever present on socials and emails, so please feel free to reach out about any potential bookings!

When I’m not climbing, I’m perhaps out for a cold swim, regardless of the time of year or how cold it is. Some of my favourite cold swim spots are Minnihaha Falls, Asmodeus Pool, and the Centennial Glen Grotto Canyon spot. All great for jumping straight in and getting cold as heck.

While we’re on the topic of favourites, here’s a few more!

Favourite musician: Devin Townsend.
Favourite animal: Cats. Always.
Favourite colour: Orange. If it’s not obvious hehe.
Favourite pastime: Climbing. Who would’ve guessed.
Favourite food: Anything pastry related!
