Hi there!

I’m Caitlyn Ridenour, a traveling freelance photographer based in New Orleans, Louisiana.

I’m passionate about capturing extraordinary moments that tell a story, specializing in live music, events, portraits, corporate photography, and brand-focused work.

Live music photography is where I thrive. The energy of the crowd and the pulse of the music inspire me to capture those electrifying moments that make performances unforgettable. I also specialize in low-light photography, so I can deliver rich, atmospheric images even in dimly lit venues.

I enjoy collaborating with brands to highlight their most impactful moments. Whether it’s experiential marketing, corporate events, or brand-driven experiences, I focus on what makes your brand unique. I’ve worked closely with the industry, capturing everything from product launches and tastings to cocktail events and brand activations. My goal is to showcase the creativity and atmosphere that make your moments special.

Conventions and corporate retreats are another area I’m passionate about. I understand how important these events are for fostering connections and leaving lasting impressions. I aim to capture the energy and engagement of corporate gatherings, from keynote speakers to team-building activities, creating images that reflect the professionalism and spirit of your event. I'm also available to travel for events, so no matter where your gathering takes place, I’m ready to capture it.

When it comes to portraiture, I strive to reveal what makes each person unique. I want my portraits to be more than just a picture; they should tell a story and highlight the personality and beauty of the subject.

I’m also committed to using the latest technology to deliver your photographs quickly. From shooting to post-production, I utilize advanced tools to streamline my workflow, ensuring you receive high-quality images without delay.

My style is bold, colorful, and candid. I love playing with light, shadows, and dynamic compositions, particularly in low-light settings, to create images that leave a lasting impact.

Feel free to explore my portfolio! If you’re looking for someone to capture the essence of your brand, the personality in your portrait, or the energy of your event—whether it’s a convention, corporate retreat, or in the industry—I’d be delighted to collaborate with you.

Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to helping you capture those special moments!
