I’m Caitlin and I live in Wellington NSW. I have a boyfriend, I'm a perfectionist & I've loved photography for a long time. I am fun, outgoing and living life. One year ago I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. For a while it felt as though it was just something happening to somebody I knew. It didn’t feel like me. How could it be me? I worked through the shock, the denial, the tears, and the self-pity. I am now positive, strong and I love life. I appreciate the small things. I have a new respect for the art of photography. Life is too short. I want to capture as much of it as I can. It will be my storyteller. Photography gives me strength and motivation to get up in the morning. It is the reason I now see everyday things as beautiful with their own story to tell. The emotions are right there within the frame, tugging at your heartstrings. I want to capture these moments. Photography means following my dreams. My life dream was to travel and take photographs. The best feeling for me is the happiness that swells in my chest when I have captured a moment for somebody that they will treasure for years to come.
