Your moments deserve to be cherished! Photography is so much more than smiles and posing in front of a camera; I intend to capture all the raw, emotion-filled moments- the uncontrolled laughter, the teary-eyed joy, and all the crazy heartfelt feelings that come along with it! As I always say, It's not prom photos up in here- I provide prompts that truly let you be you. I want to showcase the intimacy, the passion, the joy between you and your partner. My goal is for you to leave the photoshoot saying," That was so fun!" With me, it's not just a session, it's an experience. 

Capturing authentic, intimate moments

"I can not say enough about Carter and what a phenomenal job she did capturing our special day. Throughout the entire process Carter was professional and was able to answer any (and all) questions I had. She was able to provide timelines and documents which helped our day run seamlessly. Most importantly she provided us with endless photos capturing the love of our day from start to finish. Without a doubt choosing her was one of the best choices we made when planning our wedding!"

I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT CARTER

Nikki + Josh

CARTER WAS SO GREAT TO WORK WITH!

"Carter was so great to work with! She was very accommodating when we needed to last minute change the date and location of our engagement shoot, and the photos turned out awesome, so we knew the wedding photos would be great quality too... SHE. DELIVERED! Carter drove all the way up to Cleveland for our wedding, was efficient and organized, and was constantly hyping me up the whole day, making me feel so confident when I'm usually shy in front of cameras. We got our sneak peek photos within days, and our entire gallery was finished in about 2 weeks! They're so beautiful, even better than we were already expecting. Carter is an amazing, talented photographer and I 1000% would recommend hiring her!"

"Connor and I are amazed by our engagement pictures! Not only did Carter answer any (and all) of my questions, but she also provided style guides and had so many great ideas for our engagement shoot. She was hyping us up the whole session. Carter is the sweetest and we're looking forward to working with her as our wedding photographer."
