I'm Cate, the heart and soul behind Simply Cate Photography. My photography style, which I call "Western Whimsy", blends the raw, authentic moments of life with a touch of dreamy nostalgia. From golden sunsets to tender moments in the pasture, I capture the essence of the Western way of life. Whether it's a wedding, a couple's shoot, or a family, I strive to preserve the joy and romance of each moment with warmth and authenticity. Ready to create some magic?
A Western Heart Capturing the Authenticity of your Life + Love
about Me
Growing up surrounded by the rugged beauty of the country, I found my passion for photography early on. The golden sunsets, endless fields, horses running in the distance, and the timeless charm of cowboy life inspired me to pick up a camera and never look back. Each click of the shutter is a love letter to the landscapes and people that make this life so enchanting.
My Style? I call it "Western Whimsy." It's all about blending the raw, authentic moments of life together with a touch of dreamy nostalgia. From couples sharing tender moments under a setting sun to families laughing together in a field of wildflowers, my goal is to create images that are as warm and genuine as the people in them.
There's something magical about preserving a moment in time. Photography allows me to tell stories- stories of love, joy and the simple pleasures of life Whether it's a cowboy's candid smile or a cowgirl's playful twirl, I strive to capture the untamed spirit and the heart of those I am capturing.
When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me roping and cowgirling with my husband and raising our two little cowgirls. We live a life full of adventure, laughter, and the simple joys that come with living the cowboy way.
- Favorite Time to Shoot: Golden hour, when the Earth is bathed in the soft, warm glow of the setting sun.
- Favoite Food: My husband's Gumbo.
- Favorite Color: Blue
- I suck at swimming.
- I prefer to drive a standard pickup.
- I actually hate wearing boots to rope in.
- I'm allergic to Rye grass.
- We name most of our horses after food groups. We currently have a French Fry & a Juice Box.
- My kids run around like feral pigs when they're getting their pictures done.

I cannot express enough how fantastic Catie is at what she does! I am eternally grateful for the moments she captured for me. From start to finish, Catie showed off her creativity and expertise. She truly made my vision come to life!!! But even better than I could have imagined.
Catie is the sweetest person and I feel like we should be best friends. She helped me feel comfortable in front of the camera and told me how to pose. She delivered sneaks to me the day of and the full gallery SO fast!
I absolutely recommend Catie! Her talent, professionalism, and dedication to making beautiful photographs is evident. I am beyond grateful for the beautiful memories captured, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I had the absolute pleasure of Catie taking my graduation photos for Nurse Practitioner school. First of all, she is absolutely precious and has the most beautiful smile and energy. She made me feel comfortable throughout the entire session- and let’s be honest, taking photos of yourself can be awkward at best. I truly enjoyed being there with her and appreciated how hard she worked to capture my vision. I knew she did a great job because hey, that’s why I chose her, but she blew me away with the end result. Cannot recommend her enough! Thank you, Catie!
-Amy M.
