Cat and her team have always been fun as a partner. We’re an interior design studio, and our photos always show…there’s no better way to explain it…the soul of the space. It’s captured at a level that’s more than furniture and fabric. She has an amazing eye for capturing those moments. We feel they’re an important part of our extended team.

- Cam Tims

Working with Cat on many of our projects is an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Great photography of interior design work requires more than technical skill. It requires an eye for how light, texture, and composition tell a story, and that is exactly what Cat brings to the table.

Every space is captured with intention. Each project she photographs in a way that honored the details we spent months getting right. Her final images are exactly what we need to bring every project to life for our portfolio and marketing.

If you are a designer, homeowner, or business looking for a photographer who truly understands how spaces are meant to feel and not just look, I cannot recommend Cat enough. Five stars without hesitation.

Catherine was amazing to work with from start to finish. Not only are the photos incredible, but she made the entire process fun. We spent half the time laughing and talking while she worked, and somehow she still never missed a detail.

What impressed me most is how she captured my home exactly the way I see it. The photos feel elevated and editorial, like something out of a design magazine, but they still look real and authentic. Every room has a mood and a story, and she brought that out beautifully.

You can tell she genuinely cares about her craft and takes pride in getting it right. These are photos I will cherish for years to come, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how they turned out.

If you’re considering hiring Catherine, do it. She’s talented, professional, fun to be around, and the results speak for themselves. Thanks again, Catherine!

I met Catherine, on a photo shoot with the Scout guide and I was very impressed. In an extremely short period of time she could assess the spaces and see what would make for the best shots. I kept on asking her, "are you sure you have everything you need?", and she patiently responded with, "I think so", and showed me her photos and I was blown away. She is truly a gifted photographer.

Catherine was referred to me by a friend and I am in love! I can't begin to describe her patience, professionalism, and attention to detail. Catherine was able to make suggestions in a way that didn't offend us, while tactfully telling us why she would do it a different way. She would always ask before moving things around and even suggest ways to improve the photos, such as color suggestions that show up better in contrast. She wasn't just a photographer coming to do a job and leave, she took the time to learn about her clients and she taught us a lot about how to make the best session! Thank you Catherine!

- Ann Aylward

We hired Catherine to do a branding shoot for our company. Cat was fun to work with, creative, and totally understood our vision. The photos she delivered were way beyond expectation. If you’re looking for someone to help brand your company, Catherine Nguyen is a great artist!

- Gretchen Coley
The Coley Group-Gretchen Coley Properties

I started working with Catherine when she was based in San Francisco. I am a decorative artist and I have always found it quite difficult to capture the layers of our work with photography. I had heard of Catherine through another friend and I decided to have her shoot my project. First of all, the pictures turned out beyond what I had ever imagined. She was able to capture the depth, the layers, and the environment I was creating. I always thought the rooms looked great, but under her shoots they were incredible. Besides the photos being fantastic, the process was equally as wonderful. Catherine has attention to detail, can work under crazy deadlines, and is just generally a complete joy to work with. We worked together for years in San Francisco before she relocated to North Carolina. After she left, I worked with other photographers but never found the magic I was looking for. So I now have Catherine come out and shoot our projects once or twice a year.... that is how amazing we think she is!

- Caroline Lizarraga
Cat is a great photographer and easy to work with- a very collaborative effort. She got the photos back to me within a good timeframe too. Looking forward to working with her in the future photographing my interior design projects!

We reached out to Catherine for help in updating our websites to better reflect the guest's experience in our short-term rentals. She spent the time to understand the business problem that we needed to solve, and she produced. Catherine's photos exceeded our expectations, and we realized ROI from the costs within one month. The work paid for itself. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely hire her again.

Cat is the consummate professional. She shows up, ready to shoot and she's not afraid of what you throw at her. We drove around and shot five houses the first day, and the second day was a house with a lot of detail. Cat sent the digital files about a week later and we were blown away - they are crisp with beautiful color and really make our design work look even better! Can't wait to use her again this fall for another shoot.

I first met Catherine Nguyen last week to shoot seven of my clients' homes over two days. I have never met someone as energetic and passionate about her work. Her personality is electric and her follow up is impeccable. She delivered the finished photos prior to my expectations and has an amazing ability to capture the true details that make designing a client's home complete. Her photography is nothing short of perfection and I am truly looking forward to our next project together and for many years to come.

- Rachel Roberts

When we decided we need an architectural photographer we searched through the local photographers in the PRO section. We were impressed with her portfolio online and hired her to shoot three projects in one day. From our first meeting she was very professional, easy to work with, and when it came time to shoot she had a great eye for staging each shot. She delivered a great set of photos for each project very promptly. We even had a home that was under construction in an adjoining area but she was able to shoot a great set of pictures from the available angles. We look forward to our next shoot with her and continuing to build our project portfolio.
