I moved to Montana in the spring of 2024, and it's been the most incredible experience. I've wanted to come here my whole life, so this opportunity was a dream realized. That said, no amount of beauty in the background (and we all know Montana has cornered the market on "picturesque") can erase the weirdness of some random person trying to pose you and take your photo. So I want to get to know you. And I want for you all to get to know me. Whether you're scheduling family photos, graduation photos, you're getting engaged or you just need updated headshots, I believe genuine understanding (and friendship, if we're lucky!) is at the heart of every good shot.
...so let's punch through some of the awkwardness.
Like I said, my name is Cate.
I'm 34 years old. Libra. 90s kid.
I grew up on the East Coast.
Bounced between Georgia and Virginia most of my life, but I consider myself a Georgia girl. (Go DAWGS.)
In 2014, I was diagnosed with leukemia. Just celebrated 10 years in remission.
My mother bought me my first DSLR camera when I got sick. I still use it to this day.
Starbucks is a large constitution of my personality.
My YouTube Music library doesn't make any sense, and I love it.
I am always singing or humming something.
I love horror movies and tv. I've watched through The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix eight times.
Halloween is my favorite holiday. (It's totally a holiday.)
Autumn and Winter are my favorite seasons. Especially here in Montana.
I am all about slouchy sweaters and Fabletics leggings.
My oversized reading chair is my favorite place to exist.
I'm an incurable optimist.
And I love love.
