Caitlin Louisa Eddolls is an award-winning documentary family and life event photographer based in Central New York with a background in photojournalism. Her journalistic work has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, The Democrat and Chronicle and The Wall Street Journal.
Drawn to vulnerability and love languages that make each family, couple, or individual uniquely their own, Caitlin’s work honors both the messy and the beautiful parts.
Whether photographing a wedding day, a weekend at home, or a birth, her approach is the same: Allow space, build trust, and help people to feel safe being fully themselves.
Outside of photography, Caitlin’s work has always centered around caregiving or the outdoors, sometimes a combination of both. She has worked as a backcountry trail builder in Colorado, an outdoor educator in California, a longtime nanny around the country, and a behavioral assistant working with neurodiverse children and adolescents in Maine.
She also spent several summers photographing internationally for student and adult travel programs, experiences that deepened her understanding of how families show up for one another across cultures.
Her background in photojournalism continues to guide her, grounding her practice in transparency, ethics, and deep respect for the people who invite her into their lives.
Based in Central New York, Caitlin is always eager to travel (especially during the winters…) and warmly welcomes opportunities to work with couples and families living abroad or planning international celebrations.
Most recently, her path has led her into hospice caregiving as a certified Nursing Assistant in Central New York.
