A Note from Carlota


If you’re here, you’re probably deciding whether reaching out feels right. Most people who inquire end up booking with me, and I think that’s because I’m very transparent — about my pricing, my process, and the kind of work I create.


I love crisp images, beautiful color, and great light. I’m drawn to nature, pinks and greens, and that golden hour glow — and I’ll always ask what matters most to you so your photos feel personal and intentional.


I work full time as a user experience designer (I work on websites and Google Chrome Store extension designs), I’m a mom to a little guy named Kaden, and my husband Eric and I met way back in middle school. Photography is my creative outlet and something that brings me genuine joy — especially when I get to document meaningful moments like proposals, bridal showers, family milestones, and celebrations big and small.


When I’m photographing you, I want you to be fully present. You don’t need to think about documenting anything — I’ve got it covered. I’ll guide you, fix your hair, remind you to take your phone out of your pocket, and quietly catch the moments you might not even notice happening. I care deeply, and I photograph with intention. You’ll always receive a thoughtful gallery that tells the story of your day.


I’m deeply sentimental — I keep every card, journal often, and have far too many photos in my camera roll. The same intention and care I bring to my own life, I bring to every client who books with me. I work closely with you to create meaningful images of whatever you’re celebrating, and I’m a real person behind this screen who truly wants the best for you.


Many of my clients come back for life’s next milestones, and that means more to me than I can explain. When you book with me, you’re not just hiring a photographer — you’re inviting someone to walk alongside you as your story unfolds. I’ll always be rooting for you and documenting your life with care.


I’ve met some pretty amazing people by following my passion for photography, and I hope you’re one of them too.

Thank you so much for being here.

What stood out most was her ability to capture the in-between moments: the laughter between poses, the quiet glances, and all the little details that made our day so special. You’d never guess she was working alone — she was everywhere she needed to be, anticipating moments before they even happened.
