About

Since I was a child my way of seeing the world has centered upon a bottomless and bittersweet awareness that no single moment happens twice. This knowledge has always roused a disquiet within that is harnessed when I seize a fleeting moment in its first, final, and solitary beauty by capturing it through a photo. This is why I love to take pictures; they allow me to eat up the world within view and taste every moment -- bitter or sweet.

Photography is the art of appreciation. Thus, I prefer an image that renders its subjects in all the splendor of their authenticity, that depicts whatever quality captivated my appreciation at first glance. Perfection doesn't enchant me; reality does. And so each picture I take allows me to capture what I find enchanting in its own right with the hope that later, when I re-view it, it will reveal itself anew and stir my heart to quicken.

I think the perfect wedding day requires a lot of laughter, a healthy dose of romance, and a ton of fun. I would love the chance to capture your day, your story, your memories in the making so reach out and say hello and tell me all about what makes your heart beat faster!

xo Carrie

Carrie is the absolute best! I was somewhat frustrated when I started looking for wedding photographers. Nothing I saw on photographers' websites got me excited to work with them. When I saw Carrie’s website, though, that immediately changed. Her pictures were crisp, her subjects always looked natural and comfortable, never posed, and, somehow she always seemed to find the most beautiful lighting and color combinations between her subjects and the setting. After we spoke to Carrie on the phone, we knew that she was our photographer. She was so sweet and accommodating. I had a long list of initial questions and Carrie took the time to answer each one thoughtfully and thoroughly. About a month before the wedding, we reviewed the details of the day, which was incredibly helpful to us in finalizing our day-of timeline. On the day of the wedding, Carrie was wonderful. We were behind schedule after the ceremony and Carrie did a great job of quickly getting through our many family pictures to get us back on schedule as much as possible. My husband doesn’t like to have his picture taken, but Carrie kept the atmosphere light and fun, which relaxed both of us, and the pictures came out beautifully! Despite the fact that I do not really remembering seeing her taking pictures during the reception, when we received our pictures, it seemed like Carrie had been everywhere! She did a great job of getting at least one picture of almost all of our guests. The pictures are gorgeous and they absolutely delivered on that style I liked so much about Carrie in the first place. Most importantly, though, Carrie really seemed to capture the essence of my husband and me, and all of our family and friends. You can almost feel the love and happiness jumping out of the pictures. I honestly cannot express how thrilled we are with our pictures or with our entire experience with Carrie. I feel privileged that we were able to have her be a part of our day.

Family Sessions

We booked Carrie for a newborn session and then again right before our daughter turned one for family photos. We are so happy with photos and Carrie has been a dream to work with. My husband and I don’t love posing for photos, but Carrie has a way of capturing moments without it feeling forced or unnatural. We are always amazed by the results. I will be booking with her yearly so she can continue to capture our growing family. Highly recommend!!

We love Carrie!!

I had seen a few friends post photos they had done with Carrie and loved them right away. I reached out to her to discuss an engagement shoot and we talked for an hour on the phone and I knew she would be the perfect person to shoot our engagement and wedding. She was so down to earth and easy to talk to and made me feel so comfortable right away. During our engagement shoot it was no different! My husband (who is not a fan of photos) and I had an absolute blast. We did photos in our home with our dogs first. We will cherish these photos forever especially after one of our dogs passed shortly after. We can’t thank Carrie enough for capturing those memories. We then did more shots in downtown Troy and she had a ton of ideas and spots ready to shoot! She uses light and angles so well and we were obsessed with every photo!

We then used her assistant for a small ceremony due to covid and had a great experience as well. After postponing twice we FINALLY just had our wedding July 10, 2021 and Carrie honestly kept everything together and running smoothly. I was a very anxious/nervous bride and she kept me sane and (somewhat) calm to get all the shots we wanted! She brings the best calming energy you could ask for on your wedding day and is so good at falling into the background and capturing every little moment. We couldn’t ask for a better day and Carrie was a huge part of why it was so perfect. We can’t wait to work with her for years to come!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
