who is Cate Kittlitz?

~ photographer, story teller, & lover of the oxford-comma ~

I am a lover of all things aesthetic; I have an eye for finding beauty in the ordinary. I believe everyone deserves to live a life they find meaningful; and so this is an honest documentation of leaving behind the hustle in pursuit of a slower, simpler, and more intentional existence. This is me rediscovering life’s beauty, alongside my husband Calin Charles, within the walls of our 1912 apartment.

Here I share my passion for sustainable style: a combination of thrifted fashions, things I’ve whipped up at my sewing machine, and any slow fashion brands I want to highlight.

Occasionally you’ll see us on adventures, always meandering, preferring slow travel that embraces everyday life wherever we go. There’s no rushing to check off bucket-list places; just gentle walks, time for memory-making, and lots & lots of coffee.

More often, you’ll find us sharing things at home, where we curate items we love, whether that’s marketplace finds or antique treasures. It’s a work in progress, a true labour of love. We feel that we’re stewards of our pre-war apartment and the many treasures within, and do our best to care for them.

Well-being is another area of interest for me, as I’ve always struggled with my mental health. I've read about, studied, gotten diagnoses, and tried many things throughout my life; and while I’m still figuring things out, I manage it better with each passing year, and I like to pass on my experience to you.
