Meet Carly

Central Valley Photographer

Portrait photographer located in Patterson, Ca and serving the entire Central Valley region. As a mama myself, I have a genuine passion for capturing life's biggest milestones. With a mix of carefully crafted poses, natural prompts, and a warm and dreamy editing style, your photos will look like they popped right out of a storybook.

What I do...


01.


Families & Couples

Whether you are newly in love, recently engaged, or married with 5 children, your love story deserves to be documented.


02.

Maternity & Milestones

Pregnancy doesn't always feel glamorous, but I will ensure that you have photos that LOOK glamorous during this fleeting stage of life. Is your little one already here? Ask me about my milestone packages.

Senior Portraits

Graduation is a huge milestone in a young adult's life, which is why it's so important to document who they are in this very moment. My goal with senior portraits is to showcase the graduates individual personality, interests, and hobbies.


04.

Dance Portraits

As a former dancer, instructor, and choreographer, I am able to carefully pose and correct my dance clients to ensure proper technique in every image, and to showcase the dancer's individual strengths. This is more than a typical photoshoot, it's almost like a private lesson!
