Hi, I’m Carly!
I work with the career-focused, the creative, and the camera-shy to make stunning images that boost confidence and create brand clarity. I’ve collaborated with authors, career coaches, designers, photographers, and more to create a wide range of images they can use to tell their story. Currently in Philadelphia and happy to travel!

I loved working with Carly! The photoshoot was a great time. She is the ultimate pro. From angles to lighting to posing she made me feel at ease 100%. I felt confident working with her. She is empathetic, warm, and a master of her craft. I had a feeling the final photos would be awesome and they absolutely were! 10/10 recommend Carly Piersol Photography.

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!

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. I appreciated her coaching and perspective during our session, was very happy with the session results, and would absolutely recommend her services to others!

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.

What do I offer?
OUTDOOR SESSION
The outdoor session is a great option if you want the look of a particular season: cherry blossoms in the spring, summer sunshine, or changing leaves in the fall. If you’re looking for a more casual headshot, dating profile photos, or great lifestyle content for social media, this package is for you!
studio session
The studio session is a dressed up version of the outdoor session. If you want to photograph multiple outfits in a more formal, controlled setting, a studio session is what you need. Perfect for professionals looking for a clean backdrop for their headshot. Bonus: this session can happen rain or shine!
PERSONAL BRANDING session
This session is an in-depth exploration of your business, what kinds of images you need, and how we can tell your story together. A questionnaire and pre-planning sessions will make sure we’re more than prepared to make all of the marketing images you need to promote your business and stand out from the competition. These sessions can take place in studio, outdoors, or both.
