Hi everyone!

Please note that this account is no longer monitored. If you have a gift certificate to be redeemed (outdoor sessions only), please email me at [email protected] to set up a booking.

Gift certificates will not be accepted after June 1st, 2025 (that’s just over a year after making our closure announcement), please consider this as an “expiry date”, and be sure to redeem any gift certificates before then.

Thank you all for so many years of capturing your beautiful memories 🥰

I’m writing this message full of mixed emotions.

Sadness, happiness, gratefulness, excitement.

I started this business shortly after my son was born when I discovered a newfound love for taking photos of my little guy. I also loved that it gave me the opportunity to stay home with him in the first few years of his life.

Since then, I have poured my heart, soul, time, creativity, blood, sweat, and tears into this business for the last 8 years. But… It’s time to close this chapter of my life. This decision was not an easy one, but it is the right one for me & my family.

I began a new business venture about 18 months ago doing house cleaning. I quit my office job and started working for a cleaning company. I absolutely loved the work, but not so much the paycheck. After much encouragement from my friends and family, along with my extensive entrepreneurial background from this business and others that I have created in the past, I thought what the heck, let’s give it a shot.

This business has flourished bigger than I could have ever imagined in such a short period of time. Not only do I absolutely love what we do, but it fits perfectly into this new chapter in my life. As some of you may know, my partner & I bought our first home last August. And let me tell ya, I sure did underestimate the time and effort it takes being a new homeowner - and parent to the 4 little ones between him and I. They are getting older and older every time we blink, and I want to cherish every spare moment possible with them.

I will be booking Sunflower Field mini sessions in August, and will continue to honour any outstanding gift certificates for the next year. Other than that, I will not be accepting bookings.

I will be keeping this page active for the next short while, so if you are interested in booking a sunflower session feel free to reach out for details. 🌻💛

I want to thank each and every one of you for making this business journey so memorable for me over the last 8 years. I’m so grateful to have met every one of my clients and capture their most cherished moments. If you are interested in continuing to follow me throughout my new entrepreneurial journey, feel free to give my page a like/follow Cleaned by Cait 💖

I love you all & thank you so much❤️

Sooooo 🫣

I have had a bunch of interest for Fall Minis the last few weeks, and I’m highly considering offering a limited amount of sessions.

They would be held at a location in Cobourg and would be one day only.

Like or comment below if you’d be interested & I will make a decision in the next few weeks 🧡
