WESTERN HEART

HI, I’M CAITLIN

GROUNDED BY
LOVE & WARMTH

In every passing moment

Hi friend — I’m Caitlin, the one behind the camera! Based in Southern Saskatchewan (but always ready for a road trip), I document love stories and life’s little in-between moments with a nostalgic, film-inspired feel. My approach is simple: real connection, soft light, a little bit of imperfection, and a whole lot of heart. I want your photos to feel like a deep breath; like a Polaroid that instantly transports you back to how it felt.

Photography has been a healing part of my journey. After unexpected health challenges shifted my path away from horseback riding (a passion that still weaves through my work) I found myself reaching for my camera and my favorite records. What started as an outlet soon became my way of connecting with others, preserving the honest, fleeting magic of everyday life. Whether we're chasing golden light, capturing quiet moments, or embracing blurry motion, I’m here to tell your story in a way that feels deeply you — grounding, emotive, and timeless.

A LITTLE ABOUT 

MY

WHY

The Story

Behind The Lens

If I’m being honest, photography was never part of the original plan. But life has a way of guiding you where you’re meant to be. My first love was horseback riding; the freedom, the trust, the quiet connection — but when unexpected health challenges pulled me away from that world, I found myself searching for something to hold onto. That’s when my camera quietly stepped in.

Looking back now, I can see how it’s always been about connection. Whether it was family vacations, sunsets at the cabin, or blurry house party photos with friends, I was always reaching for a way to freeze those fleeting moments. Music, photography, riding, they’ve each carried me through in different ways, all rooted in the same thing: slowing down, being present, and holding on to the beauty of right now.

Photography has given me a way to honor that.  To connect with people, preserve their stories, and create images that feel like little time capsules of the love and life we get to live.

MY WHY

WHAT'S ON MY HEART

music is a huge love of mine, so kitchen dancing & car-karaoke are daily occurrences. I’ve also played guitar & started singing when I was 12!

major horse girl, and also bird girl (quite the combo)

iced chai tea lattes - all year round

my love languages are words of affirmation  & gift giving - so a little handwritten card is the way to my heart

I was born on Friday the 13th
