washington based wedding & portrait photographer. documenting love stories worldwide.
My approach to photography is a lil different than the norm. I connect deeply with my couples & individuals and place the emphasis on you and your story. Whether it is just you two eloping up a mountaintop or with all of your loved ones gathered in your family’s backyard, your grad pictures or your first photoshoot as an engaged couple, I promise to capture you with intention and devotion as though you are my own family. Your memories deserve to be captured exactly as they are. Years down the road, I want your photos to bring back the feelings you have right now; to hold a sense of nostalgia, romance, authenticity, and that kind of love that makes your heart beat the hardest.

Documenting moments
Life is all about the little moments that happen organically. Don't stress about everything being picture-perfect. It isn't just about photos; it's about the journey, the emotions, and the magic of your special day. We'll create images that tell your unique story, in all its raw and beautiful authenticity. No cheesy or forced poses around here.
it's all about the lil details
You deserve photos that reflect your vibe. That celebrate you at your most alive, not just your most perfectly posed and put together.

"WOW! Carlyn is amazing at what she does! I discovered Carlyn’s social media while looking for someone to shoot some engagement photos for us. When I saw her work, I knew I couldn’t pass it up. She was super professional and easy to work with. She did a great job during the shoot posing and directing us. When we received our photos back we were blown away. We love them more than we ever thought possible! Carlyn was so kind, knowledgeable, and professional. We had such a great experience working with Carlyn!
"Carlyn is amazing! She took our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier with them. She made the experience so much fun and even played our favorite music. We were unsure how to go about with poses, but Carlyn was able to give us many different posing ideas that put us at ease and made everything feel so natural.
"Carlyn was absolutely amazing to work with, she made me feel so comfortable being in front of the camera (it was my first time ever having professional photos with my significant other). We were also unexpectedly late to our session due to weather and traffic issues, Carlyn was so understanding which helped alleviate stress on my end. And even though we were late, I did not feel rushed at all through the session. I got my photos just a few days after our session, as promised. I definitely look forward to another session with her!"
I love highlighting what makes you, you. I love taking risks and challenging the norm. I’m not interested in photographing a posed, fake, unrealistic version of who you are. I want to go beyond that, because after all this is said and done what really matters is your story, your personality, your beauty, everything that makes you, you.
This job is something I never thought possible for myself, but it fulfills my soul more and more every single day I dive deeper into it. I love capturing and giving back moments of time. I love the creating. I love the documenting. I love the sharing. I love the looking back. I love the connection. I love the art.
