Hi, I'm Caitlyn! I am an ICU nurse by night and a photographer by day. At the heart of it all, I care about people. I care about the relationship I build with you. Through this connection, my hope is that we'll create beautiful photos and art that will last you a lifetime.

I shoot a variety of portrait and lifestyle photography, including casual shoots, personal and family portraits, couple sessions, maternity photos, and pet photography. I have been featured in a number of magazines, like Color Shot Magazine and Shutter Up Magazine, and the Love Light Fine Art Photo Community.

hey guys, gals, & non-binary pals!

"We used Caitlyn Burchak Photography to capture our most precious moments of our son’s first birthday and we couldn’t be more happy! Even though my son did not take well to the cake smash, Caitlyn turned a crying baby into the most amazing memories! He looked absolutely adorable in all the photos! The lighting that day was not perfect, but you would never know because she did such a great job editing!!! I will also say that I don’t think I would have found anyone as dedicated to getting our photos to us as soon as possible! She is truly the person to take your life moments and turn them into forever!"

Caitlyn provided such a lovely experience! She was easy to work with and made my son and I feel so comfortable! She gave direction and also helped our ideas come to life! I honestly cried when I saw our gallery. She captured such beautiful images of my son and I and the love and moments between us. I've modeled for several photographers but I have never been in love with every single image like I was with Caitlyn's work! Highly recommend!
