I’ve traveled the world taking photos, and bring that experience to every session to keep things fun, creative, and collaborative. My goal is to co-create images that feel like you—authentic, emotional, and timeless.

My husband & I had the pleasure of working with Cari this morning for our maternity shoot, & I couldn’t wait to write a review because she is so deserving! She took her time with us & made us feel so comfortable. She did not rush the shoot at all, and even waited for the sun to hit the perfect spot in order to get the best photos and lighting. We will absolutely be using her in the future!

I hired Cari for a baby product shoot, she was engaging, professional and patient. ( babies have a schedule of their own!) not to mention the photos turned out amazing! Couldn’t ask for a better photographer- HIRE her if you get the chance, you will not be disappointed!

We had the most amazing time with Cari. We hired her to take some family photos for my mothers 75th birthday. Could not speak higher of a photographer. She was fun and playful putting everyone at ease which in turn made for some awesome photos. She made great suggestions for photo location and time. Would highly recommend to anyone and will use her again!

Cari was incredible! I found her for a maternity shoot while on vacation in Miami and am so glad I ended up messaging her. She showed me a little preview of the photos and I am in love with them. I can’t wait to see the rest!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I work with each client on an individual basis. No two visions are alike and I align my time, effort and the client’s goals and expectations to come up with a fee that makes sense for all of us.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I worked on the ocean for the past 4 years. I had the opportunity to travel the world. During this time, I became very interested in documenting my journey through the lens of my camera. I enrolled in photography and photo editing courses during this time to learn and grow as I traveled. Now that I’m land-based it has felt natural to transition with my skills as a photographer.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I can’t tell you how thankful I am for the individuals I’ve gotten to photograph. I’ve cried on the other side of the camera watching proposals firsthand, I’ve witnessed a glowing mother hold onto her growing baby belly - then taken newborn photos once that baby has arrived. I’ve watched newly engaged couples smile and cuddle up in front of me, proud and excited to start their life together. There’s so many moments, and people I’ll never forget.
