What to expect?
passionate, clear, and PROMPT communication.
When choosing me to be your photographer no matter the event you can expect clear and prompt communication from the start. You will be met with excitement and a genuine interest in who you are, and everything you are planning. I love hearing about all of the details of who you & your partner are, about your dreams and wishes, and all the details you want to share with me.
Get to know your photographer & new bff!
Hiii!!!! I am Carly Elise (she/her) and I am so excited you have found my little corner of the internet where I share beautiful, timeless, candid images of people just like YOU!!
Here's a little run down on me;
- I am 25 years old
- I am a mama to three beautiful kiddos
- I am married to one of the most amazing men on this planet
- I am obsessed with 7Brew
- A lover of the outdoors and all things LOVE
In my spare time I am full time mommy haha so you can catch me with my littles at our local Target, at the park, or at our home watching movies on Disney+.
I am your perfect mix of extroverted and introverted - and an extreme empath.
I'm easy going, caring, and sentimental.
A small background of me.
I grew up an extreme feeler of all emotions and drawn to movies about love, think The Notebook and Dear John. Or you could find me on YouTube watching (and sobbing over) wedding videos. I got my first camera in middle school from my uncle and found myself drawn to beautiful flowers or landscapes. Funny how I still find myself drawn to both of these, but now capturing love within beautiful landscapes. I grew up dealing with significant mental health issues like, depression and anxiety. At some point within adolescence taking photos took a back burner to my mental health and I took priority in taking care of me.
how did i get here?
Truthfully, throughout the years I thought about photography and how I should just try again, but FEAR. Fear of not being as great as the people in my town or the people online were - this held me back for years. Until, I had my son and I suffered with borderline PPP (postpartum psychosis). I made it a point to finally try photography again, I needed something for just me. Something that brought me joy. And BOY did I find that. I am so glad I finally put fear to the side and allowed myself to finally TRY again. Going through extreme PPD (postpartum depression) and PPP, scared me and gave me new perspective. This is how I am here.
where am i going?
I have taken this new found joy and truly made a passion based business. I plan on capturing love stories near and far, where ever your love may take me. My family is complete now with our three beautiful children. I have the most supportive husband on earth it seems, and we are beyond thrilled with where photography has brought me and our family.
Now the real question is - where will YOU take me to capture YOUR love?
