Hi,I'm Caitlyn

Photography has always been a part of me. What started as a creative outlet turned into a full-time career in 2020, and I’ve never looked back. Based near Salt Lake City, Utah, I’ve been fortunate enough to capture love stories across the country and beyond, preserving the heartfelt moments that make each celebration unique.

I believe photography is about more than just beautiful images—it’s about documenting the real, emotional moments that define your story. The quiet glances. The joyful tears. The way your partner looks at you when you think no one’s watching. My approach is a balance of artistic storytelling and genuine connection, so you can stay fully present while I capture the magic as it unfolds.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me traveling with my sweet husband, Trev, exploring the mountains, or spending cozy evenings with family. Those personal connections fuel my love for documenting yours.

“We asked her to photograph the day in a documentary style, and she really delivered. Every photo is somehow both candid and beautifully captured. They show unfiltered love, laughter, and dancing—moments with our loved ones we would have missed otherwise."

“Caitlyn did an unbelievable job with our off-the-grid cabin wedding of over 200 guests. She was with us from morning until late evening, handling the entire day solo, and managed to catch so many genuine moments without us even noticing she was there.

They show unfiltered love, laughter, and dancing—moments with our loved ones we would have missed otherwise. Her ability to navigate such a large group at such a unique location on her own was impressive, and the end results were exactly what we wanted. We look back through them all the time. We highly recommend her to anyone!”
