Boudoir photos aren’t just about showing some
Skin.
There is so much
more
Boudoir photos aren’t just about showing some
whether you’re fully clothed or completely nude, the best photos have a way of beautifully capturing your soul in an image.
My goal is to help you see yourself again.
i want you to

beautiful
you are.
Know
For many women, that’s a “have to see it to believe it” kind of situation. My response? Challenge accepted.
I found my way into boudoir photography after a long period of having no voice and the rock-bottom self esteem that pairs well with silence.
I’ve come a long way since then, but photographing women—helping them capture their essence & sensuality—was a no brainer for me. Too many of us lose sight of ourselves in even the best of circumstances. From marriage to motherhood, and even the heavier, darker parts of life … little bits of who we are start to slip away.
“My purpose is to give every woman a chance to share their soul and beauty through their photos.”
I wish I could show you what I see in you—that’s why I do what I do.
During your session, it's about you finding & reconnecting with your soul again. No matter who you choose to share your photos with (or don’t!) my goal is that your session has a lasting impact on YOU—and that you walk away with more confidence and self-respect. Because you deserve it.

world
The experiences in my life that have knocked me down have given me a kind of strength I wouldn’t have known to ask for but wouldn’t trade for the world.
Like I said above, I became a boudoir to help woman discover their inner strength, and reclaim their outer beauty. I find much of my inspiration through music—I often can listen to a song and start to see your images in my mind’s eye.

As a plus-size woman who has struggled with my body and looks my entire life, I went into my session fully prepared to dislike many (if not all) of my photos. I can honestly say that I was moved to tears at my reveal, and I not only liked them but I loved them! Cate has an eye for detail and can capture your best qualities and features in a way that you cannot even imagine. From the private studio to the hair and makeup glam squad, to the client closet and payment plans available (seriously, take advantage of the payment plan!) Cate has thought of everything to make your session an experience you will never forget or regret!

"My experience in her studio was empowering and the results were amazing beyond what I could have ever imagined. I left my day with Cate feeling strong, empowered, sexy, and more full of confidence than I have ever felt before! Thank you Cate for making the art you create and showing each and every one of your clients that we are all goddesses! Keep up the amazing work, and I will recommend you to all my family and friends!"
