Hi, I'm Cathi Cenatiempo.
I am an award-winning, published photographer, who resides in Gilbert, AZ. Throughout my lifetime I have explored many creative paths, but have found that photography is where my true passion lies. I love that I am able to capture life's special moments for others, allowing them to be fully engaged in the moments of their lives.
If you ask me what my favorite thing to photograph is, I will say without any hesitation, KIDS! Kids give you real, genuine emotion, and sometimes you have to work extra hard for that smile. But I don't mind one bit!
When I am not behind the camera, I can be found either tending my garden, caring for my chickens, hanging out with my husband or playing with my cute grandchildren. All of which bring me so much joy! That's what life is all about, right?
