Welcome to the World Sweet Boy!

When I entered the home of the Abdillah family, I was greeted with such warmth and welcome. The joy of bringing a new baby home was displayed on the proud parents and grandparents faces. As I typically do, I use my set up time to learn about the members of the family. There were stories of world travels and living abroad, and I immediately began to see the great love of adventure in this family. These new parents may be stateside, but their biggest adventure has just begun!

My goal in my work is quite simple. I aspire to briefly stop time’s passing through photographs and create visual memories. Hearing this new mother describe how much her son has changed in 48 hours reminded me of the purpose of these photographs. As her son grows, she will be able to look back on these photographs and remember his first days. They will visually bring her back to his tiny toes, forehead wrinkles and delicate fingers. Most of all, she will not remember the sleepless nights and tears and will only remember the quiet early morning hours spent holding him. In addition to providing beautiful photographs for the home, they are memory holders.

Sunshine After the Rain!

After what seemed like 100 reschedules due to rain, I finally had the pleasure of meeting the Deng family! The joy in this couple was evident as soon as they stepped out of their car. Their smiles and excitement were even more refreshing than the feeling of sunshine after our many weeks of rain.

The arrival of a couple’s first child is a special, and brief, period in the course of their lives. These nine months are filled with anticipation, planning, preparing and wondering. Wondering what their child will be like, who they will become, what have they gotten themselves into (only kidding). Through all the questions and fears, what brings peace to future parents is knowing they have the most perfect teammate by their side. Watching how attentive and loving this father to be was toward his beautiful bride was nothing short of inspiring. There is no doubt that their son will feel nothing short of loved and adored.

Maternity sessions are such special sessions, because they capture the couple in this intimate and emotional time. Many times I hear that women do not want these sessions, because they are insecure about their appearance. My goal is to not only make the mother feel beautiful and confident, but to showcase the joy within this precious time.

Taisler and Lewis Engagement

Warmth of Love on a Winter Evening

I had the honor of meeting Kayla and Sam last year as I photographed their proposal. Sam is an active member of the military, and therefore has spent a large amount of the past year overseas. While he was stateside, I had the pleasure of capturing their engagement photos. What I love most about engagement sessions is the way each looks at the other. As a photographer, I can feel the excitement of the couple to just be in the presence of the other. For this couple in particular, their reunion after a long separation made them even more grateful for this time together. The purity of love in this stage is so refreshing and uplifting that I never leave an engagement session feeling anything short of excited. This location was both stunning and perfect for the session. The contrast of the rough and worn stone against the softness of this couple’s touch was beautiful against the golden hour light. Engagements are just a brief period of time, but they are a truly special and sacred time in a couple’s life. I was so pleased to be another small part of this couple’s love story.

Welcome Baby Evanell

It is hard to believe that the new year is here! I have so much in store for 2018, and could not be more excited about what is to come. This year is going to be about pushing limits and refocusing my energy. I want to break through my creative limits to discover new ideas and new inspiration. I also want to return my focus to my true photography passions, maternity and newborn.

It was wonderful to start 2018 by photographing the precious Antrim family after they welcomed sweet newborn Evanell. I loved having her big sister by my side, both watching over her newborn sister and demonstrating the amazing mind and curiosity of a child. We both couldn’t stop smiling as I answered her questions and captured her newborn sister’s sleepy smile. The bond between those little girls will be so strong, and I felt extremely privileged to witness the beginning of it. Even beyond the bond of sister’s though is the bond between a father and his newborn daughter. Capturing the delicate features of a newborn girl next to the rougher features of her father’s shows his strength as her greatest protector. The newborn session for this family truly contained every aspect of why I love newborn photography so very much!

The Beginning of Something Great

November 4, 2019August 19, 2016 by Catherine LaChance

First of all, I’d love to say Hello and Welcome! I am so excited about this new website. It’s the start of something big for me. I am a self-taught lifestyle photographer and after having my daughter, I began to realize how quickly that time truly passes. As she grew, I found myself taking more and more photos. I began to treasure the ability to capture some of these most precious moments with my daughter and my family in photographs.

As my love of photography grew, my once hobby became a new career.

My true passion is capturing people and emotion in their truest forms while pushing myself to continue growing as a photographer. I strive to make each session unique to the client and environment to help bring out their most authentic features.

I invite you to look through my galleries of photos and even take a look as some of my favorites here. If you’re interested in seeing more of my work, tap any of the images below to see the full gallery.
