-MT, Maternity session
"We know we can trust her to take amazing pictures (even if I feel like a complete mess), make us feel comfortable, and have fun with us too! She has taken all of our pictures from maternity to newborn to family to holidays to birthdays and more. Her photography skills are so diverse and that’s why we use her time and time again no matter what the occasion may be. We love all the wonderful moments in time that she has given us! Thank you for being awesome!”
“We use Carrie for capturing every milestone."
-HM, FAMILY session
"Let me start by saying Carrie is amazing! We are so glad we found her to capture our family portraits. She is fantastic with children and was quick to get our babies giggling. She made my whole family feel comfortable and relaxed during the photo session. And the result...THE MOST beautiful photos! It's evident Carrie is a sweet and genuine person who love what she does. It was a joy to work with her and we will continue to use her for years to come! "

I look forward to hearing your story and other dates which may be of significance to your family (Christening, first holiday, the possibilities are endless).
