HI, I’M CARLY!

A Traverse City native proudly based in Northern Michigan, but my passion for storytelling takes me wherever your love leads—worldwide. While moments may be fleeting, photographs are timeless. It’s an honor to preserve your most meaningful chapters through my lens.

One of my favorite things a client wrote in a review was, “Carly was truly meant to capture humans in love,” and I couldn’t agree more!

 

Featured Testimonial

“If I could write a 10-page essay on how amazingly talented Carly is, I would! Carly is our wedding photographer (lucky us). Carly BLEW US AWAY during our engagement session. Not only is she so sweet and funny, but she is so professional and knows exactly what she’s doing. She made us feel so comfortable and guided us the whole session. We had an amazing time and couldn’t believe taking pictures would be so fun. Carly delivered the most dreamy gallery only THREE DAYS after our session. Every picture is perfect, truly. She captured our essence so well. I would 1000000% recommend Carly. Run don’t walk if you’re thinking about working with her! We loved her!!!”
