Our New Go-To Photographer!

Our mini photo shoot with Carly was fantastic! She is professional, fun, and her joyful personality kept us smiling the entire time. The session was effortless and not at all awkward. She picked a great location and perfect timing to catch the golden hour beautifully.

Carly edited the photos incredibly fast and sent them to us the next day! Because of her quick turnaround, I was able to order our Christmas cards right away and take advantage of a coupon I had. I love her editing style—I don't know how she does it, but the photos feel modern and vintage at the same time.

At the beginning of the shoot, she asked if we had a "good side," which was such a thoughtful touch! We booked the mini shoot using her Black Friday BOGO from last year (it was our first time working with her), and we loved it so much that we already bought another mini shoot using this year's BOGO for our 2026 Christmas photos. We'll never look for another photographer again!

Amazing proposal shoot

Carly was absolutely amazing. She captured the moment perfectly and we have not been able to stop looking at the pictures to relive every moment. The pictures could not have come out any better. 10 outta 5 stars!!!

My favorite photographer! And I know many.

As a wedding professional myself, I’ve worked with sooo many photographers over the years and Carly is absolutely one of the most talented in the biz! I’ve worked with her several times for both professional shoots and personal shoots and every single time, her galleries just blow me away. My most recent session with Carly was for mommy and me photos with my son and I was moved to tears when I received the gallery back. She has such a talent for capturing special moments, raw emotions, and personality within her photos. She is AMAZING at conducting her shoots - from helping you fix that rogue piece of hair before she snaps the next picture to getting a 4 year old energetic boy to smile, stay focused, and have fun throughout the shoot - and her turnaround time for editing and delivering the gallery is quicker than most. I cannot say enough amazing things about this photographer and I guarantee you, hiring her for whatever special moment you want to savor forever will be the best decision you can make. :)

Phenomenal Experience

I hired Carly to do a photoshoot for the bridesmaids of my best friend's wedding during our bachelorette party in Nashville. It was a little bit of an unconventional group photoshoot, but she did an amazing job. She was very responsive every time we spoke and very clear with all her directions. Once we met, she instantly made all the girls very comfortable with the camera. Carly was so very positive and complimentary which made our smiles very genuine. She came with a bunch of great ideas and locations for posing but was also open to our suggestions and helped recreate some past poses with ease. Her turn around in getting the photos back to us was very impressive and we were all able to see the photos before we departed at the end of the weekend. I would absolutely work with Carly again in the future and high recommend hiring her.

If I could give 100 stars I would!!

This team is AMAZING. They are both so kind and funny on top of being so professional and great at their job.
My Fiancé and I are terribly awkward in front of a camera, but with the help of their directions and eye for perfect photo opportunities, our engagement pictures are jaw dropping. I cannot express enough how good they are. They are also so honest and genuinely care about the people and moments they capture. Which calms your nerves and delivers a perfect outcome. I recommend them to everyone I know!!!

Fantastic!

Carly was so much fun to work with! My husband, my kids, and I enjoyed her energetic personality and loved having fun while getting pictures taken. She really knew the best places to get the best pictures. I don't think we could have gotten better pictures anywhere else. So very very happy we found Carly!
