Caity is an incredibly talented photographer. She captured the most amazing lifestyle images for our small business. She is very professional, so easy to work with and made everything seem so seamless and natural. The photographs were exactly what we wanted and have been so important for the growth of our business. I highly recommend Caitlin and I look forward to many more fun and creative shoots with her.

I met Caitlin at my Sister’s wedding while she was second shooting with Stephanie Veldman. The moment I got engaged I did not even look for anyone else to photograph my special day. I just knew she was the one ! We went for a mini-shoot before our wedding in Cape Town with Caitlin and her Husband, Simon. It was as if we’d known each other for years. They made us feel so comfortable and at ease. We even went for a drink afterwards. I knew that we made the best decision when we received our photos. I can recommend Caitlin 100%. I hope to have the privilege to have her take our photos again one day.

Caitlin thank you so much for being everything we wanted and more. Caitlin was such a pleasure to work with, she was so calm and gentle and made everyone feel at ease it was so much fun working with he and we felt like we had known her forever. Caitlin was non-intrusive, yet everywhere at the same time and has a real eye for detail and managed to capture every single detail of our wedding. Her photography is so real, authentic, full of life and emotion and gave a true reflection of our wedding day - They are absolutely stunning. A day hasn’t gone by that we don’t look at our photos and reminisce our special day.

Your work possess an honest and 'sacred' quality that is incredibly rare. Somehow your photographs manage to capture the feeling/emotion of the moment. As a result I find your photos to be touching, authentic and real- the perfect keepsake of a special occasion. It has been a dream to work with you- your kind and confident nature brings 'calm' to any space or set up and I so appreciate that.

I absolutely loved having Caitlin Shoot our little family. She was so super accommodating with times and baby schedules and then during the shoot it felt so easy and relaxed, she was great with my little one and my husband (usually not so keen on being photographed) felt so at ease. Thank you Caity for such a lovely morning and for capturing my little family exactly how I want us to be remembered. I love every single image!

Our photographs from Caity made us cry with happiness. They were perfect. Caitlin is incredibly gifted, but the whole experience with her was more than just about her talent. Her kindness, patience and gentle manner made for an easy going morning and came through in her images. Having family photos taken was not something we thought we would do, but we are beyond thrilled that Caity could capture us as she did. It is without a doubt an irreplaceable experience and an opportunity that every family should consider doing with Caitlin.

Caitlin’s gentle approach will make any family feel comfortable in front of the camera, in fact, you can just do your thing and she will capture all the moments without you really knowing she is actually there. Our shoot with Caitlin had a few bumps in the road as most ‘ normal’ family days do, but being a mother herself Caitlin helped us go with the flow and be okay with the imperfections. She is truly a family’s dream photographer - a great sense of humour. Understanding, and her work is phenomenal Caitlin’s style and approach was gentle, natural and unobtrusive. She effortlessly captured intimate and special moments in our home Having mastered the art of painting with shadow and light, she illuminated mundane spaces and turned our house into a platform with pockets of gold resulting in images that speak honestly of our love, affection and real life.

Caitlin really has a gift in capturing beauty in the ordinary, messy, seemingly ‘mundane’ moments. As a photographer her framing and composition is truly unique. She includes small details, that others would overlook, and these details end up adding so much depth to her images. These details as well as the way she frames her images also make her photographs of you and your family feel so uniquely yours, full of your life’s details. She is calm, warm and gentle. She directs you during the shoot, to ensure she maximises on time, but does so in the most subtle way- never forcing anything or missing a golden natural moment. If you do feel nervous or unsure her presence and gentle guidance will certainly calm you right down, help you to be present, to laugh and to enjoy the time. In terms of the images we received, from what felt like a short shoot ( we chatted so much ) I was blown away at the quality and diversity we received. We received more special moments captured than we could have hoped for. Caitlin is incredibly professional in her work both on the shoot and in delivering the final product, yet the whole process felt relaxed, natural and fun. We will treasure the photographs taken by Caitlin forever, they are like no other photos we have.

Caitlin is an incredibly sensitive and intuitive photographer and person. She, almost effortlessly, manages to capture the gentle nuances of relationships in a timeless and truthful way. The images she made of me and my son are such a treasure to me, and they grow in personal value as time goes on. She sees beauty in the everyday moments that others might overlook, and she shares that beauty with the world through her photography.

I'd been following Caitlin from over in America for nearly a decade. Something about her style and mood resonated with me from across the Atlantic through her photos. They were thoughtful, joyful, full of life. But it wasn't just her images it was her entire persona. You know when you've never met someone, but you could swear you have ? That's Caitlin. I wanted to meet her just as much as I wanted her the be the one to photograph my wedding day. Caitlin and her husband Simon, hopped on a plane and flew all the way to the Scottish Highlands (while she was pregnant!) and spent the weekend documenting my soon-to-be husband and I, amongst 26 of our closest family and friends. The two of them fit so snug into our intimate group. It was such a treat to meet her, and to have her with me. On the day of, I was so comfortable sharing my emotional space with her. I hoped that I too, provided a creative space for her art, as I trusted her every move. We had some adventurous plans through out the day, and we left our photo schedule very fluid. Within that fluidity, her ability to document truthfully and organically was spot on. Our images were absolutely stunning. Perfectly honest to the place and time, just as I had been originally drawn to. Thoughtful. Joyful. Full of life. HIGHLY recommending Caitlin to be with you on your wedding day. She will allow you to remember all of the things you missed, in the most beautiful way.

Our morning with Caitlin was just wonderful. We walked in the garden, fed the kids, picked flowers and played so comfortably in her presence. It was more of an experience than an hour standing awkwardly in front of a camera. The photos are beautiful and I feel like we’ll be able to look back at them for decades to come and feel all the incredible feelings we felt on that day with our brand new baby.
