Absolutely amazing experience! The photographer at Cat Island Studios is not only incredibly talented, but is also always warm and welcoming. She always makes us feel completely at ease, which is no small feat especially when working with my toddler!

If you’re looking for an unforgettable photography experience on Cat Island in the Bahamas, look no further than Yontalay Bowe! We had the absolute pleasure of working with this talented, warm, and charismatic photographer. From the moment we met, her outgoing and kind personality made us feel completely at ease. It was like spending the day with a longtime friend who also happened to be an exceptional photographer.


For our 10th wedding anniversary, Yontalay took us to so many breathtaking spots across the island, each one more stunning than the last. Every location felt like it was straight out of a postcard, and she had an incredible eye for capturing the perfect angles and moments. But the true highlight was how she timed everything perfectly so that we could experience the most magical Bahamian sunset. As the light reflected off the water, she captured photos that will forever remind us of that unforgettable evening and trip!


Her passion and dedication were evident in every shot, and she went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. If you’re considering a photographer on Cat Island, she is undoubtedly the one to choose. We can’t recommend her highly enough — thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Yontalay is my go-to photographer for my family and business events. What sets Yontalay apart is the ability to capture genuine emotions rather than just posed smiles. Each session feels like a fun family gathering rather than a formal photoshoot. My walls are covered with beautiful moments Yontalay has captured for us.

The attention to detail is remarkable—from suggesting the perfect outdoor locations based on the season to patiently working with my 5 year old granddauger who won't sit still. I've recommended Yontalay to my friends who have become loyal clients themselves.

If you're looking for someone who can truly capture your family's unique spirit and create heirlooms you'll cherish for generations, look no further than Cat Island Studios.

We were delighted with the ease and talent of Yontalay. She  made us all comfortable (even while sweating bullets on Cat island BAHAMAS). She captured precious memories for us so that we could simply concentrate on our event, our wedding, and leave the memory holding to Yontalay. She also quickly got us a few choice photos to share and the full set on a flash drive in a few days along with a few big prints.  Well worth the cost. We made great prints from the flash drive once home and shared digitally with family and friends within a day.

Highly recommend her for any special event you've got... you make the memories and she'll capture the moment.

Yontalay came highly recommended by our rental house caretaker. We now know why. Yonta is a high energy lady who loves life and what she does for a living.  What she does for a living is take exceptional photos and bring out the best in people. That makes her a gem on Cat Island. The time which she spent with us driving around to various locations to get the right atmosphere and background made it a fun and entertaining experience. We are thrilled with the photos she took of us and even happier that we got to meet such a wonderful person.

We wish her success and happiness!
