Hi, I'm Catherine, an adventure photographer offering experience based photography & styled shoot workshops.

After finding my purpose behind rather than in front of the camera, I decided to open Lavybug Photography to help capture the beauty of life and all its big or small moments for others.

As my photography business grew, I became more aware of how important it is to have a safe space to try new techniques as well as diversify your portfolio. It is for that reason that I started Styled in the PNW. Styled in the PNW has been a way for me to connect with others and improve my skills while also being able to style fun concepts for others to also use.

WHAT IS STYLED IN THE PNW

Styled Shoots (also known as Content Days, Portfolio Days, Content Retreats, etc.) are events planned and coordinated by another photographer/host (in this case, me – Styled in the PNW) to give photographers and videographers the opportunity to build their portfolio, network with other creatives, and have fun all while getting creative! I will come up with a general theme or location, create multiple concepts involving these themes, meticulously search for and coordinate with models and vendors, and provide outfits, props, etc. All you as a photographer/videographer have to do is show up and capture it! I provide general guidance for posing, tools to use, and skills to practice during events, but always give ample opportunity for participants to direct for themselves.

MODEL STATEMENT

It is extremely important to me that my models reflect a diverse range of folks.

The photo industry often perpetuates the idea that in order to be worthy or beautiful you must fit a certain mold, which tends to be straight, white, and a size 00 which is harmful and untrue. With that being said I guarantee I will hand select an amazing group of talented models for each event who come from a variety of backgrounds and will blow you all away!
