Archbould Photography -

Sue Hall

We engaged Archbould Photography to take photos of work sites, people and finished projects. The photos we received are great quality, showing what we needed. They are responsive, and timely. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I’ve been lucky enough to have worked with Cathie since 2005, when she photographed my first food column for Up Here Magazine. Since then, we’ve collaborated on close to 100 magazine stories, five books and countless projects, a collaboration that is at the foundation of my life as a food writer—I would not venture on a project without knowing Cathie was there. She’s a great photographer, that part is easy to see, but what isn’t so obvious is her creative genius on location. She’s brilliant at creating an atmosphere where everybody shines, everybody relaxes and has fun, an atmosphere that makes it possible for all of us to do our best work. She has a knack for finding the story you want to tell, and then finding the props, the angle, the lighting that will tell your story the clearest, cleanest, most beautiful way. Cathie is calm, funny, great at taking calculated risks and coming up with ideas that surprise you, make you see things you didn’t know were there. A shoot with Cathie is always an adventure, always an exploration, and I leave each project eager for the next one. (Sometimes I make one up just to be able to work with her again.) I can’t recommend working with Cathie strongly enough, she’s simply the best.

Cathie is fantastic to work with from initial conversations, to planning, to execution, to final deliverables. When working events, she manages to both blend into the surroundings and be friendly and personable when interacting with others. Whether she's outputting stills or video, she produces quality and timely work. She is considerate and sensitive to cultures and environments with any project she takes on. She partners with others in the industry when projects require it and does so as a positive and cohesive team. It's always a pleasure to work with Cathie because you're getting someone who is invested in your project and is always striving for the best outcome to meet your goals.

I've worked with Cathie Archbould for the past 20 years, both commissioning original photography and reaching into her deep inventory for a wide variety of publishing projects. Cathie's work is outstanding. You only need that one word to describe it. She's fun to work with, too. I recommend her—without reservations.

I first met Cathie as a volunteer for the Canadian Cancer Society almost 20 years ago and a special campaign they were working on. Since, then we have worked on several projects together including a cocktail recipe book with "Free Pour Jenny" and Miche Genest, photos for Up Here Business and countless events in the Yukon.

I have also worked with Cathie for my own business needs including product photography, headshots and team photos. On the most recent shoot, my team members were nervous about being photographed, but Cathie made everyone feel relaxed with her humour, understanding and kindness. The shots were epic and totally on brand with our project.

Her love of the land and deep respect for the people comes through in every shot.

Cathie is a wonderful photographer! Loved the photos she took for me!
