Testimonials

  • "I have worked with Cate for several years now. She has such a special and innate vision. Somehow, she always seems to know exactly what the shot needs to take it to the next level. Her flowers and table settings are sublime-- beautifully arranged while maintaining a looseness that translates perfectly on camera. Beyond her talents, Cate is a delight to work with. She is efficient and moves quickly, but somehow maintains a peaceful, calming energy. Over the years, we have found a wonderful rhythm when working together. She's always receptive to feedback, but luckily, I hardly have to give any because she just gets it and she gets me."

    Paloma Contreras, Interior Designer

    Marianne Simon, Interior Designer

  • "Working with Cate is an absolute joy. Her kind, soft, flower fairy aura, arriving with armloads of the most exquisitely sourced materials to punctuate your rooms would seem enough .. but she offers so much more. Cate's highly exacting eye is invaluable to a shoot, including her impulses on shot direction and perspective. She is unwavering in her attention to detail and her thoughtful and measured consideration of how to approach each unique area makes her not only a dream to collaborate with, but also results in a rich, sophisticated and authentic layer to your photography."

  • “Working with Cate is a breath of fresh air. Not only is she exceedingly collaborative, creative and thoughtful in her styling but she's also the most fun to be around for shoot days, never letting the energy drop. Oho's spaces are truly brought to life in her hands and I could not be more grateful for her skills."

    Melissa Oholendt, Interior Designer

  • “I am located in NYC, and flew to Chicago to shoot a large home in a single day. Our photographer recommended Cate, and I instantly fell in love with her portfolio. We knew time might be tight so Cate helped us map out the shot list, florals and accessories ahead of the shoot day. She even offered to bring in extra furniture and lighting. The shoot was so well organized that we had time for extra shots, and we were able to enjoy a calm and fun day. We are thrilled with the gorgeous styling and photographs, which have now been published in Elle Decor Spain and Rue Magazine. I am so grateful for Cate's amazing work, which completely elevated the spaces and images.”

  • First time I saw Cates work all I could say was wow! That is someone I really want to work with. When the opportunity finally came up she exceeded my expectations. And to top it off she’s a really great person!

  • Cate was involved with our project from start to finish. She skillfully arranged rooms to add depth and a fresh perspective to images. In addition to artful styling, Cate is a storyteller—her designs humanize spaces by offering visual clues about who lives there and how they live their life. This narrative quality is exactly what we were looking for. Cate was easy to work with and made the process fun. We look forward to the next collaboration.”
