Carissa made our photo shoots natural and fun!

Carissa made our engagement/wedding photo experience the absolute best! If you hate having your picture taken because it feels awkward and not natural, Carissa will make it a completely different experience for you! She does such a great job of making it a natural and fun experience! Luckily we chose her to take our engagement/wedding pictures and we will continue to choose her for all of our phot needs in the future!

Overall 10/10, AMAZING!

Where do I begin?! Carissa is more than willing to go the extra mile to get the best shot she can. She makes everyone feel like a natural in front of the lens. Carissa did our engagement photos, which were amazing. Then she did our wedding and when I didn’t think it could get any better...it did! I honestly think working with Carissa is amazing. She is genuine and caring and truly wants what’s best for her clients.

Absolutely wonderful!

Carissa played such a major role in making our special day so special. We had to cancel our wedding because of the pandemic. Our family and friends helped us to make a special celebration; Carissa, however was able to capture the day in a way that was not only special to us, but frankly in a side by side comparison showed a superior quality to other wedding photos we saw online. She was a professional who was able to guide & direct us in a way that made us feel comfortable and understood. Carissa’s photos have been the envy of all! We plan to hire her again for a vow renewal in the future.
