If you're looking for a gallery full of emotionless, perfectly-posed, everyone-staring-awkwardly-at-the-camera photos… I’m probably not your girl.

Now that we got that out of the way…

HEY THERE, I’M CARRIE!

Moments > Poses. Always.

That’s the heartbeat of everything I do. Whether it’s a quiet Tuesday morning with your pajama-clad toddler or a once-in-a-lifetime wedding celebration, I’m all about capturing the feeling. The connection. The fleeting realness. The messy, magical, unposed stuff that makes life actually beautiful.

Other photographers have told me I should pick a specialty. But honestly? That’s not me. I love photographing it all — weddings, maternity, families, headshots — because every chapter is part of the same story: your life, celebrated.

The best compliment? When a wedding couple comes back years later for maternity photos, family sessions, or fresh headshots for a new adventure. That kind of trust? Means the world to me.

Here’s a little about me:

I’m a photographer, mom of three amazing daughters (who happen to be international snowboard racers), wife to a pretty incredible guy, snowboarder, roller coaster junkie, and a former mechanical engineer turned math teacher turned full-time creative.

I once designed snowboard boots for Seal. Yes, that Seal.

I have a Ph.D., but I promise I’m chill.

I’ve lived all over, snowboarded and photographed in over a dozen countries, and learned that life is better when it’s a little messy.

I’m powered by chai tea, spontaneous adventures, and the weird faces I make mid-shoot. I dress for action — rolling in grass, wading into creeks, climbing trees — whatever it takes to get the shot. But don’t worry, I clean up (reasonably) well for weddings.

I have (lots of) tattoos — including a Totoro sleeve and an ambitious squirrel forever reaching for an acorn — because whimsy and storytelling belong on skin, too.

And here’s a personal favorite:
My husband and I celebrate our wedding anniversary every year by buying new Vans and eating fondue.
Cheesy? Yes. Delicious? Also yes.
It’s our thing, and it makes us happy.

I’m real. I love clients who are real. I believe in doing things because they matter to you, not just because tradition says you should.

That said, I also believe there’s deep beauty in tradition — in honoring where you came from, celebrating family, and weaving in the rituals that make your story uniquely yours. Whether you're walking down the aisle with your grandpa or breaking out the same dance moves your parents did at their wedding, I'm here for all of it.

I want to make the kind of images that bring you back — to love, to joy, to connection — even on the chaotic days.

Life is unscripted. Let’s capture that.
