About Girl of the Vine Photography

Hey there! My name is Catalina. I’m a photographer from Jackson, Michigan, now living in Ferndale, a suburb in the Detroit area. Here’s a little about me: Over the past 15 years, I’ve grown from a published commercial photographer to a published journalist, and now into a portrait photographer. It’s been such a beautiful journey. Blending my love for the precision of a perfect shot with the documentary style I developed in journalism, I’ve discovered my own personal approach to photography. It’s felt like relearning myself—almost a metamorphosis. My work has often been described as cinematic, as if you stepped into a time machine to witness the moment firsthand. As you explore my featured projects, I hope you feel inspired. I hope you can see the care and intentionality I bring to every photoshoot—and hopefully to your story. --- Important Note to Clients: I do not offer videography services.

From the first contact to the photo delivery, she was a delight to interact with. Her demeanor and work were both fun and professional. We felt so taken care of throughout the process and would absolutely hire her again!

Catalina was so much fun to work with! Would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding day photographer. She has an incredible eye, is friendly, professional, and a pleasure to be around. Our sneak peak photos are everything I could’ve hoped for. I’m so happy she was there to capture our special day.

We had an amazing experience with her! She was incredibly professional, creative, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire session. She was also extremely flexible and even stayed later than planned just to make sure we got the perfect shots. Her attention to detail and dedication really showed, and the photos turned out even better than we could have imagined. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and the memories she captured. We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and caring photographer!

Catalina did an incredible job with my pet portrait photos! They are genuinely so well done and fantastically shot and edited. She got exactly what I was hoping for and took the time to look at my Pinterest board. She was professional and kind and made sure my dog and I were both comfortable during the whole process! Highly, highly recommend.

Catalina was fantastic in everything she did for our engagement. She helped me find a location while I was several hours away, was super communicative through the process, and took stunning pictures. The shoot was a lot of fun, she was able to capture a lot of great views for us and made the experience so much fun. Cant recommend enough!

Awesome! Helped me with an out of state proposal and made me feel so comfortable in arranging my proposal. Scoped out the location and gave me a plan that made the day much more relaxing for me. 10/10

She was not only so talented, professional and friendly, but really engaged with my crazy/unusual ideas and helped materialize my vision!

I cannot recommend anyone better than her for your event. She went above and beyond and helped me plan my proposal. Her photography skills are exceptional and she is extremely patient with awkward posers help pose.
