Now Booking Sessions in Summer 2025
Hello! I'm Cathy!
Sacramento photographer based in Orangevale, CA!
Yup! That's me! I've had a passion for photography since I was young. From film to digital photography, I've loved learning how to capture amazing memories for my family. I opened up Cathy Kurtz Photography over 10 years ago and have met so many amazing families along the way.
Feel free to take a look around and see if you like my style! I love photographing families, seniors, and as an extension of that, I'm now offering personal branding sessions for entrepreneurs!
How it works!
Contact me
The best and fastest way to get in touch is by filling out the form on the Contact page! I usually respond within 24 hours. If you prefer texting, that works too! I'm happy to answer any of your questions or help you get started. You can reach me by text at (916) 425-2826. I can't wait to hear from you!
Pay a Retainer
A $100 non-refundable retainer is required at the time of booking, no matter the session type. Your session is not fully booked until the retainer is received. This fee secures your chosen date and applies toward your total session cost. Dates are limited and filled on a first come, first served basis - so don't wait to lock in your spot! I can take Venmo or I can send an invoice for you to pay online with a card!
Enjoy your session!
This is your time to relax, have fun and just be yourself! I'll guide you every step of the way so you don't have to worry about posing or what to do next. My goal is to make the experience easy, comfortable, and full of genuine moments. Just a quick reminder - any remaining balance of your session fee is due on the day of your session. Then all you need to do is show up and enjoy making memories.
View & select photos
Within 2 weeks of your session, you'll receive an email with a private online gallery where you can view and choose your favorite images. Full sessions include your choice of 10 edited digital files and if you fall in love with more, you're welcome to purchase as many extras as you need! You'll also have the opportunity to order high-quality prints and products to preserve your memories. There's no pressure, just pick what you love!
You'll catch me chanting, "It's all about the memories!" because I'm a firm believer in the magic of photos. They're like time machines, whisking you back to precious moments – like that messy cake smash at your baby's first birthday or the proud strut across the graduation stage. And let's not forget the power of family photos! Those heirloom snapshots proudly displayed on your walls? They're not just decor; they're anchors, reminding your kiddos they're part of something special. So, if you're up for capturing those heartwarming family moments, kids' milestones, or those epic senior portraits, count me in! I started Cathy Kurtz Photography to help you document some memories worth framing!
I serve the areas of Orangevale, Fair Oaks, Folsom, Roseville, Citrus Heights, Granite Bay, Carmichael, Sacramento & beyond. Contact me today to schedule your next session!
Why hire a family photographer?
This time with your kids is so important
As a family photographer, I'm not just here to snap pictures; I'm here to freeze-frame those fleeting moments of childhood joy and parental pride. Because let's be real, time flies faster than a toddler chasing a butterfly! These photos aren't just for today; they're heirlooms for tomorrow, a visual love letter to your family's journey. So let's ditch the cheesy poses and embrace the chaos and charm of your tribe – because messy hair and mismatched socks make the best memories! Let's make magic together!
