About me
My approach to photography: Capturing life as it unfolds, unposed, unapologetic, and profoundly real.
I’m an Organic Portrait photographer for women and families living in East Sussex with my family, shaped by roots on Portugal’s golden shores.
My work is all about women reclaiming their space, their stories, and their power!
And if you’re thinking, “ugh, but I hate being in front of a camera” trust me, I get it. I feel exactly the same. But, I discovered that when I challenged myself to put myself first and face the camera, it was surprisingly healing and it changed the way I see myself.
Our sessions are designed to feel easy, natural, and never forced.
Whether it’s with your family, at home, outdoors, celebrating a milestone, marking a transition, taking a pause, branding images or just for yourself, we’ll make it feel easy, fun, and real.
No posing. No pretending. Just you, being you.
I’ll guide you gently so you never feel lost, but I won’t tell you how to pose or where to look. Instead, I create space and situations that allow the real you to surface, naturally.
“What a joy to find Catarina! She’s got the loveliest energy and way about her, no flashy pretence or forced cheer getting us all to be jolly. She’s warm, sensitive and relaxed and took our crazy family in her stride. I have no idea how she took such beautiful photos - the kids were so challenging - but she did! I’m so grateful to have them. It’s virtually impossible to get any pictures of the 4 of us together and I’m so thrilled to have these. It’s such a special and worthwhile thing to have proper photographs every now and then that really capture all of you and I can’t wait to book her again. Can’t recommend her highly enough!”
