I can’t say enough amazing things about Carena. She was incredibly helpful and attentive from start to finish, going above and beyond to make my sister and her boyfriend’s surprise engagement absolutely perfect. She didn’t just take photos she poured her heart into making sure every detail was captured beautifully. Her thoughtfulness, patience, and dedication truly made the moment unforgettable. We are beyond grateful for her talent and kindness. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your special moments as if they were her own, she’s the one to call!

Details: Couples portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

I can’t recommend Carena enough! Her photos truly speak for themselves—stunning, natural, and beautifully organic. Beyond her incredible talent behind the lens, she went above and beyond in every way. She arrived early, brought a warm and welcoming energy, and even provided gorgeous florals (available as an add-on). Carena’s professionalism and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. She truly did an outstanding job!

Carena was very easy to work with and flexible. She was proactive in communicating and offering ideas for our photo shoot. She was great at determining our expectations and our own vision for the photos we wanted. And she was flexible with our actual on-site photo shoot with the surroundings, light with the sunset and my family’s needs and desires for poses and shots. I haven’t seen the photos yet. But Carena’s professionalism and ability were very apparent and I expect they will be great.

Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.
