My children who inspires me to capture moments because they sure do grow up fast.

Who's that clicking? I am a mother of four whose passion for beautiful photographs is stemmed through wanting to capture those fleeting moments. As my children grow older, I find myself not remembering how my son looked when he started walking or how my daughter danced when she was one. Photography stops time, and helps us remember those precious moments. With my photojournalistic style of capturing genuine moments and a mind and heart of a mother and teacher, I can preserve your memories in a beautiful way. I want to capture your child's unique personality and non-posed expressions, your genuine relationship as a family, the beginning days after your baby's birth, or the beauty of your baby in your belly. My desire is to photograph authentic personalities and relationships, that is why I go to your home or your favorite place. I thank God for blessing me with my desire, skills, and excitement of photography. I hope I get to share my passion and talents with you.

Testimonies:

Cathy took our maternity photos last month and she was fantastic. She is very flexible and worked with my crazy schedule to find a time for our session. She had great suggestions about what to wear, where to go, and how to “pose” to best show off my growing belly. I felt like a natural model when working with her even though I’ve never had professional pictures taken before! We loved all of the photos and had a really hard time deciding which ones to order. Her prices are very reasonable. We can’t wait for our little one to arrive so she can come take our newborn pictures! Thanks Cathy, we’re so glad we found you!

This was our second experience with a professional outdoor photographer, and our first had left us somewhat skeptical. We won a free session with Cathy, so we figured we had nothing to lose. We were very pleasantly surprised when we met Cathy out at Gilsland Farm for our shoot. She immediately put us all at ease, and was great with our easily distracted and rarely cooperative two-year-old son. As soon as we got outside, he took off running - away from the camera of course. We were worried, but Cathy got in front of him and started singing “Elmo’s World” and stopped him in his tracks :) She was so great with our son, it’s clear she has lots of experience with kids, both professionally and personally. Our photos came out great, very clean and professional. We ended up ordering lots of prints, and Cathy stayed in contact and involved throughout the process. She was very concerned with our satisfaction, and even ordered some reprints at no charge when we didn’t quite like the cropping (though there was nothing wrong with the prints, just personal preference). I never see this kind of exceptional service anymore, Cathy is a true professional and a genuinely sweet person. Thanks Cathy!!

We had the pleasure of meeting Cathy on a breezy afternoon in Camden, Maine. After a 2 hour car ride by children (2 and 7 months) were not as cooperative as they usually are, but Cathy paid that no mind. She even sang my son’s favorite song to him to capture a good smile! The session went by so fast, it felt like we were just playing with our kiddos in the park, there was no rigid direction or forced posing. She had some adorable accessories for my 7 month old daughter, which only made the pictures that much more unique! It was hands down the most relaxed photos I have ever had taken, with or without children. We really enjoyed the experience so very much, and the photographs are unbelievable beautiful. She really captured who we are as a family. If you want an relaxing session and beautiful images, Cathy is the only choice.

Peekaboo has been collaborating with Cathy Clicks on several projects since last summer. Some of you might have seen her photography show at Peekaboo; or have attended our Halloween party; or spent time with your children during our 2011 Photo Shoot. Cathy was there, capturing happy moments at play. When you meet Cathy, you will get to experience her extraordinary work ethics and radiant personality first hand. I don’t have to mention the beautiful work she does — just look at the photos on FB and her blog!

If you are looking for someone to capture beautiful memories on camera, then Cathy is the photographer for you. Cathy is professional, has great customer service, and helps make you feel comfortable and at ease. Cathy took newborn photos of our third child; our first two are 2 & 4 years old (and not always cooperative), yet Cathy was great with them! She was so patient and relaxed, which helped make the whole experience very pleasant and much less stressful. She took a wide range of shots and really captured our children’s personalities. To top it off - her prices are very reasonable! We really enjoyed our session and highly recommend Cathy.
