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

Catherine has beautifully captured a number of projects for Colorful Concepts Interior Design.

Catherine will also go the extra mile to be sure that all our needs are met and that the final results are exactly what we’re looking for. Catherine is always a pleasure to work with, and we look forward to the opportunity each and every time.

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!

- Jill Perry

Cat is a pleasure to work with. Her photos are absolutely stunning and they capture the space so well. She manages to bring in so much natural light and truly showcase the spaces. I am always so impressed to see the final product.

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.

- Carole Marcotte

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.
