Hi, I'm Cate Augello, Connecticut based photographer specializing in lifestyle family, portrait, and newborn photography.

Hi, I’m Cate.

I’m a lifestyle portrait photographer for families who want photos that feel like them. That means no stiff poses, no awkward smiles — just real connection, real color, and real moments.

I’m calm, patient, and never in a rush. I keep things light with prompts, games, and space to just be yourselves. I’ve been photographing families since 2018, and the best part is always hearing, “I didn’t think we got anything good — but wow, I love these.”

If you’ve ever dreaded family photos, I’m here to change that.

I'd love to get to know you better as we plan your custom made photo session, it's highly likely that we will become friends in the process.

Cate
