My priority is to deliver images that capture the designer’s vision by carefully planning the composition, using selective lighting techniques, and paying close attention to every detail in the frame.
I use a combination of ambient light and flash exposures that are pieced together to create outstanding images that look natural (where the exteriors are apparent yet slightly overexposed).
Clients are encouraged to work side-by-side on location to style and craft images that they can proudly showcase to grow their businesses.
I began photographing nearly 20 years ago with the intention of documenting my surroundings and capturing the best in people. I was blessed with referrals and wonderful friends who allowed me to photograph portraits and significant moments in their lives. After joining Professional Photographers of America (PPA), I learned portraiture and lighting techniques that I still use today. Fast forward a few years, my professional focus shifted to interior photography, where I find it extremely rewarding to collaborate with other creatives.
Working on multiple projects makes life more interesting for me. I chase the challenge of learning new skills, whether in photography, design, or arts in general. When I’m not on location shooting or editing, I’m likely engaged in other artistic endeavors, or better yet, spending time with my family!
faq / about booking a session
As soon as you can estimate the project completion. I can set aside two tentative dates since we all know project deadlines may change.
After our initial conversation, you will receive a link to a booking proposal or invoice that will allow you to submit a session deposit. A deposit is required to secure a session date.
The cost of a photo shoot varies considering that each project has different goals, specs and needs. A budget conversation will determine the amount of time that can be allocated for shooting and editing. It is a time saver for both of us to know if we are a good fit early on. You can also maximize your session budget with savings up to 30% when you and other parties share the cost of your photoshoot.
We can discuss your options based on your particular project and session expectations. Contact Catalina to schedule a call.
Absolutely, please let me know in advance if you would like to share the cost of the session/licensing rights with a third party.

Absolutely! This guarantees that all the angles/areas the client considers crucial are photographed. Many clients leave this decision up to the photographer, but please know that we can come up with a list together on-location or in advance (Feel free to send me quick snapshots of the project).
Yes, we can preview the images on an iPad while remotely connected to my camera. I welcome feedback anytime.
