Behind the lens.

Hello friends, my name is Cathy. I’m a professional photographer based in Roswell, GA and I specialize in portraiture, wedding, & event photography. Also, I’m a professional wanderer, and when I’m not capturing someone’s beauty, I’m probably photographing the sunset from your nearest parking deck rooftop.

I’ve been doing photography for over 10 years. I got my start with the Athens Banner Herald via the Spotted Internship, and eventually have branched out into my own photography business. I served the UGA Redcoat Marching Band Staff as their Sideline Photographer from 2014-2021, and captured the finest band in the land Between The Hedges in Sanford Stadium and around the country. Finally, I am the owner of Downtown Athens Georgia, LLC (@downtownathensga + @plateathens on Instagram), a small social media marketing company and print shop.

Currently, I am enrolled in the Google UX Design Professional Certificate program. I am enjoying learning about UI/UX design and am excited to enter this new field once I complete certification. I’ll still be taking pictures, don’t worry.

Outside of my career, I am a World Marathon Major runner. My last race was the 2017 New York City Marathon, and I am currently working on qualifying for the Boston Marathon. I love bringing my camera abroad and capturing life around the world in future marathons. When I'm not running around with my camera or around the world, I'm at home with my little birds, Cheek and Claude, either reading a book or playing Pokemon.

My favorite part about the art of photography is being able to capture people+places and representing them in beautiful light that I see them in. Also, I’ve loved meeting so many wonderful people through this art- that’s the best part.

Photography has humbled me in many ways, and helped me see the world more clearly.

I want to use this art to make people feel beautiful and help people see how magnificent the world is. 
Thank you for stopping by and learning about my story. Hopefully, I'll get to photograph yours someday.

Stay infinite.
