Cate Barry Photography

Hamden, CT
5.0

I’m queer; my partner is a trans man. We’ve been together since before he transitioned. He and I haven’t been able to take for granted that just any photographer would see and represent us accurately. As such, I focus on making ALL of my clients feel empowered and seen--and on making sure all kinds of people know they will be safe and honored in my presence. Photography is my soul work. I’m not here for the transaction. I’m here to help you see yourself as an integral part of the tangled, messy, wonderful whole of humanity. I’m here to document your joy, your emotions, and your love.
