Hi, I’m Caitlyn, a Freelance Painter and Portrait Photographer

Let’s get to know each other

Born and raised just 30 minutes outside of New Orleans, I grew up around my fair share of local artwork, be it craft fair paintings in Olde Towne or murals on Rampart St. Currently, I dedicate myself to portrait photography, realism painting, and other miscellaneous works to help bring people’s visions to life. Before becoming a college student at the illustrious Howard University, I started Caitlyn’s Collective in the summer of 2023 with hopes in the future of opening my own gallery and studio one day.

It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter.
