Sarah Cattan Photography, Louisville

Sarah Cattan likes to follow her photography clients from life-changing moment to moment. By building a rapport with her returning subjects, she can expertly frame the romance between engaged couples, the festivities at a wedding, and the joyful progressions of parenthood. Her sense of ease around newborns allows her to nab cherished keepsake shots, and her affinity for outdoor locales—particularly the beach—means that prints often contain real gulls instead of flying m-shapes drawn in during postproduction.
