"Made me feel super comfortable" - ★★★★★

Carly was lighthearted and professional. She made me feel super comfortable during our session and captured a beautiful array of shots that gave me a lot to select from post photo shoot.

"She helped clarify the story I wanted to tell" - ★★★★★

Carly's warmth and humor ensured that the photoshoot went smoothly, plus it was so fun. I had a nebulous idea of the look I wanted, and I felt much more confident and excited after talking with Carly. She asked great questions to help clarify the story I wanted to tell with my photos, and she found examples in her research that perfectly captured the vibe I had in mind.

"An absolute pleasure" - ★★★★★

Working with Carly was an absolute pleasure. I'm usually not the most camera-friendly person, but Carly made the whole process a breeze. She was not only professional and supportive but also incredibly easy to communicate with. She put me at ease and truly understood what I was looking for - I couldn’t be happier with the photos!
