Hi, welcome to my world

I’m Catrina Gardner.

 

The way kids reach for your hand without thinking, the quiet comfort between two people in love, the laughter, the chaos, and all the little things that make your heart warm up days after. My goal is to create a calm space where you can be yourselves, so I can help you preserve these cherished memories.


The kind of moments you’ll miss one day.

Catrina did such an amazing job. The photos came out great and were everything I wanted! She helped me work on outfits, look, and vibe. She instantly made us comfortable and get out of our comfort zone. Not only was she personable, but she was professional as well. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

We had an amazing experience working with Catrina for our maternity session! From the very beginning, she was professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making the experience special for my wife and me.


She found the perfect location for our photos—a beautiful flower farm that looked absolutely stunning in the pictures. She guided us through every detail, including the timing and planning of the session, which made everything feel easy and stress-free.


During the shoot, she was very dedicated to her work and paid close attention to every detail to make sure we got the best possible photos. You could tell she truly cared about delivering high-quality results.

Kind Words

From the beginning, communication was easy, responsive, and stress-free, which made the whole process feel seamless.


The photoshoot itself was so much fun. Neither of us are people who are naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us feel completely at ease. Nothing felt awkward or forced, and somehow she managed to make the session feel relaxed while still capturing the best moments.


When we got our gallery back, we were blown away. We absolutely love her editing style. The photos feel so romantic, soft, and almost ethereal, while still feeling like us.

Catarina was so great to work with and her photos truly blew me away. We did a last minute maternity shoot at our favorite place and she captured these special moments for us stunningly. She gave the best direction and made this super easy for us. 10/10 would recommend working with her and we will definitely be booking again for another shoot in the future!

We had a great experience! The whole process was super easy from start to finish. Our kindergarten graduation mini session was quick, fun, and perfect for my little one. We got our photos back so fast, and they came out amazing! We are so happy with them and would definitely recommend Catrina to anyone looking for beautiful photos and an easy, enjoyable experience.
