hey there, i’m cara!
real, raw, life is beautiful.
in all the highs and lows i am forever grateful that Jesus has been my closest friend, teaching me to see. i hope that speaks through all that i do. i love getting to be behind the camera, preserving some of these little moments… that really are the big ones. it would be the greatest honor to get to do that for you!
as a pediatric occupational therapist and photographer, i feel so grateful that i get to spend my days with cute kids and families. i love being creative and on my days off you will most likely find me wandering the aisles of the nearest thrift store, or watercoloring. I live for road trips with the perfect spotify playlist and some good coffee stops and gas station snacks. i love national parks and have a goal to hit all of them in my lifetime. i love card games with my family and takeout at the park with my friends. it’s the simple things that make life full of joy!
i want to meet you! let’s chat about how to capture some special photos of you and your people! reach out below for more!
what people are saying:
“Cara is simply a dream to work with. After witnessing her photograph the wedding of a friend, I knew she’d be the first person I’d reach out to for my own wedding. We spoke several times before the wedding to discuss timeline, pictures or looks we wanted, and several other logistics. We had many family pictures requested and had decided not to take any before the ceremony. Magically, Cara was able to get every picture we wanted with enough time for us to enjoy almost the entire cocktail hour. She was always present when a picture was requested and even sent me a few preview pictures within 24 hours of the event. I could not recommend Cara more and am so thankful to have had her talent & kindness that weekend.”

my values:
-
legacy
it’s so important to me to preserve real life in photo form. i love capturing images that communicate how special your family is. the kind of photos that you’ll show your grandkids one day, those are my favorite.
-
emotion
these aren’t just posed photos, these are interactions between the ones you love captured in the moment, on film.
-
playfulness
i’m a pediatric occupational therapist by day & value play as well as the importance of joy in normal life. expect to get a little silly when you book a session with me.
