A LITTLE ABOUT CARRIE: I’ve been a bride and I remember the stress and joy of this day! I LOVE love! Each wedding reminds me of the beauty and partnership of marriage. I’m still happily married. We have twin boys who are quickly approaching their senior year! We have a daughter who rocks our world and an extra chromosome (Down Syndrome)! This is my family! We have fun doing life together! They are my why!
A FEW FAVORITES: VACATION SPOT: Maui, but I’m up for finding a new favorite! COLOR: Depends on the day and purpose. I tend to wear a lot of black. SWEET TREAT: Dark chocolate all the way! BEVERAGE: Water or my pink drink! FOOD: Home cooking! Nothing beats it! LENS: 70-200mm for seniors or my 105mm for wedding details. HEELS OR FLATS: Flats! I’m short and I’m totally ok with it. ENTERTAINMENT: A comedian and laughing until you can’t breathe! CONVENIENCE: My iPhone so I always have a camera with me.

WHAT TO EXPECT: EXPECT the unexpected. You’ve planned your wedding down to the last detail but I promise you, something will be forgotten or lost or need a last-minute change or even go not-accordingto-plan. You are probably the only one that will know or notice and it will be ok. The purpose of the day trumps everything else. You are marrying your best friend. Relax and enjoy! EXPECT to relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera. I’ll guide you so we get the best expressions and most flattering portraits of you and your beloved! EXPECT to chat. I love learning about you, your interests, work, school, activities, future plans, family, etc. It’s even better when we discover we have a something or someone in common! EXPECT calm and laughs and fun and kindness as we document your special day! TIP 1: Pick someone kind and helpful to act as your personal assistant on the day of your wedding. You’ll be thankful for the dedicated help!
SCHEDULING: I am a boutique style photographer so I take a limited number of weddings per year. This allows me to give personalized attention to each couple.
PAYMENT: The non-refundable retainer and signed contract are due at booking to reserve your exclusive date. The remaining balance is due in full 30 days before your wedding day.
TIP 2: Stop and breathe and enjoy the day. Take a moment to really take it all in. Enjoy the people who have come to share this time with you. This is a day for family and friends and love.
STYLE TIPS: Choose a gown that flatters and fits your body type for optimal beauty and comfort. Bridal professionals are able to guide you toward the best style and fit to help you look your very best on your special day. Have a trial run for your planned wedding day hair and make-up. To get the most from this trial run, plan for engagement photos or a special date with your fiancé or both!

FAQs Q: May I have ALL images from my wedding? A: Yes. I professionally cull your session to remove undesirables. The rest are all yours! Q: Do you edit all images in my gallery? A: Yes. Basic edits have been completed on all gallery images. Skin retouching, braces removal, head swaps and such can be completed per image for an additional fee. Q: Can I make my own prints? A: Yes. Print permission is provided so you may print as many as you like in the sizes you need. Q: Will you travel for a session? A: Yes. Locations within 60 minutes are included at no charge with purchase of all full session. I will happily travel further but additional fees will apply. Q: What methods of payment can you accept for my retainer and balance? A: Cash or good check or I can invoice you conveniently and securely for each through PayPal Me. Q: What do you mean by life-inspired images? A: Good question! Traditional portraits have the subject looking at the camera and smiling. We’ll capture that eye contact and smile, but we’ll also capture some movement and personality that may or may not have eye contact with the viewer. I’ve included examples of both in this Welcome Guide.
