what will they see

when they look back?

Childhood memories documented are memories cemented.

What will your family remember?


 

I help your kiddos remember they were loved, supported,

and free to be themselves.

I help you remember they were little, life-affirming, and,

for a moment, yours.

 

 
 

if you…

Treasure true emotion

find magic in tiny moments

Value your people above all else

then,

let’s tell your family’s story

hello!

For more than a decade, I have been refining my vision of artful storytelling. I work to blend my training as a journalist with a natural ability to capture a sincere moment in time, draw my collaborators out, and put them in the best light – in every way possible. The place where beautiful meets honest is where I always strive to land.

 
 
 

“Anyone can snap a photo, but not everyone can capture moments the way she can.


Carly is a true rare talent. She's professional, kind, creative, patient and easy to work with. Every gallery delivered makes my heart burst and eyes fill with tears. Carly so beautifully captures us in photographs that really feel like a time capsule of that season in our lives. She takes the stress out of family photos and fills it with fun, laughter, & magic.”

Sarah D., two-time Don’t Blink Project client

 
 

session details


The place where my child-centered story of family meets your real family is where the most magical photos happen. I am a hands-on participant in each of my photo sessions, using my 11 years of experience as a childhood photographer to create a space where everyone feels seen and safe to be exactly themselves.

“In my eyes, Carly is a miracle worker!

With 3 rowdy little boys, I'm always amazed by the great photos she's able to capture. She makes our family feel so comfortable and is able to get the best candid shots. I love seeing our family look natural in pictures and the way she's able to show everyone's personality.”
