  Carol Anne was amazing to work with for our engagement photos. She immediately made us feel very comfortable. She took time at the beginning of the shoot to ask us what we were looking for from the experience and what our style was. She made the whole experience pretty effortless for us, and we ended up with great photos. Carol Anne has an eye for detail, as well as the big picture (no pun intended) and how to compose a great shot. She captured some special moments. I loved that she let us come up with many of our own poses, but when we were out of ideas, she jumped right in with a variety of her own. She was reasonably priced, very easy to get ahold of, and she had our photos back to us very quickly! Overall, I highly recommend her. She’s very easy to work with (which makes for great photos), very flexible, and an excellent photographer. I know I will be using her again!

  I got married in Carlsbad, November 18th and could not be happier to choose Carol Anne as our photographer. She is very sweet, trustworthy, talented, with a great taste and easy to talk to. She worked within everything we wanted and the process was smooth. She worked together with other vendors through our timeline perfectly. I got the photos in my email 2 days ago and I love it! The lighting is perfect! She captured all the moments and suggested pictures that turned out beautiful. I highly recommend Carol Anne as your event photographer!

  Carol Anne was an absolute pleasure to deal with for our daughter's wedding - she was very professional and friendly, had great ideas and the photographs are just beautiful. She captured a perfect mixture of staged and candid photos, and managed to make the camera-shy couple relax. Carol Anne also did an engagement shoot at Balboa Park - it was a great way for our daughter and her new husband to meet Carol Anne and to be become more relaxed in front of the camera before the big day. Every image was beautiful (460 edited photos!)...very creative, very special.

  Carol Anne was a pleasure to work with in every aspect from start to finish. She answered all of our questions in a timely manner. On our wedding day she showed up early and was very flexible throughout the day. We love all the pictures from the most important day of our lives. We are looking forward to working with Carol Anne again soon!

  Booked Carol Anne for my engagement, 8 hr wedding, AND an additional post wedding photoshoot bc we loved working with her so much. She is so easy going, motivated, extremely adventurous & willing to try new ideas, professional & polite with her interactions, and is quick at turning around the photos. With Carol Anne, I felt like she was my friend, and she made me comfortable to be honest with her about how/what I wanted/expected without feeling hesitant, which a bride should never feel when you're hiring a photographer to capture your event. She was always quick and responsive to emails, and available to talk on the phone to go over ideas. She gives every photo careful consideration when she edits, ensuring you have the best and most beautiful images. What you can depend on is Carol Anne's consistency with the quality of her photos (3 sessions to prove it). Please visit her website and look through her portfolio to see her fresh, bright, natural, soft and timeless collection of photos. I look forward to working with her in the future.

  I can not say enough wonderful things about Carol Anne. She captured our wedding day beautifully! She is a true professional. Day of she was on time, ready to get us started to stay on the timeline we created together months earlier.
  Leading up to the wedding she is very responsive to emails and is also always willing to chat on the phone to hammer out details! We met up at the venue about two months before to walk the grounds where we picked must have shot locations and so Carol Anne would have some ideas for day of.
  
  She made us feel very comfortable and it was effortless for us to get really amazing wedding photos, with Carol Anne giving us a variety of ideas that came out beautifully! Her turn around for our photos was incredibly fast, her pricing was very reasonable for the quality and professionalism she delivers, you can't go wrong with Carol Anne. Highly Recommend.

  What an amazing experience – she was such a pro! She had a great location to recommend, a plan of attack, tons of styles and backgrounds to pick from, took our ideas and had her own AND made us feel really relaxed/natural (which is really saying a lot for me). She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we were very happy with her style, editing, and overall talent. Can't say enough about her!
