for capturing and preserving your family's unique story.

Having a newborn and family session at home eliminates the stress and hassle of packing and traveling with a new baby or young children. It allows you to stay in a comfortable, familiar environment where you have immediate access to all your toys, feeding stations, and snacks. This approach creates a highly personalized, authentic storytelling backdrop that reflects your family's unique personality and lifestyle, while also allowing your family to remain in their own space throughout the session.

I'm Carlie

 

hey there!

I’ve decided to adopt you as a friend.

 

 

 

Let’s be real—great photos don't just come from smiling on command. Warmth, connection, and probably a little bit of bribing —that's how we get the best shots.  I'm all about capturing the happy chaos of your life, because trust me, I have my own waiting for me at home! Let’s turn this new bond into a lasting friendship and capture the magic along the way.

NEWBORN SESSION

Whether it is baby number one or number four, in-home newborn sessions are pure magic. We’ll document it all—from feedings and snuggles to sweet moments with the whole family. Life is blurry, sleep-deprived haze with a newborn, so let’s freeze these special moments so they last forever.

FAMILY SESSION

 

Family sessions focus on storytelling and capturing the genuine, unposed moments as your family goes about their typical day. While the primary goal is documentary-style photography, I also dedicate time to gently guided lifestyle portraits, blending candid interactions with more traditional family poses.
