“Carla is a true artist, with an amazing eye for catching those special moments. She took the time to sit with us prior to the wedding to get a feel for us as a couple, as well as what the day might be like. She captured our day beautifully being observant of those intimate moments and relaxed candid shots of us and our guests. Carla also added her own artistic approach and caught images of our day through her creative lens, and from literally every angle! We were so pleased with the photos, and the time invested to meet and greet our guests, to help them relax and find those one of a kind images. It was a gift to see the wedding later through her eyes. On a decision such as this, we are feeling blessed and grateful to have had Carla there for our day!”

Working with Carla was so much fun!
She made me feel so comfortable and even challenged me to push my edges a little bit which resulted in some of my favorite photos!
Carla has a passion for her work and it comes through in what she does, how she does it, and the final products with her photographs. I would recommend working with Carla to anyone who is hoping to capture their authenticity to bring into their work.
I have so many options to use for my website and am so grateful for the time, energy and effort Carla put into her work!

I have been blessed by the opportunity to work with Carla a couple of times, and I have been absolutely blown away by the magic she sees and brings to life with her portraits.

The first time she photographed me, I was scared, shy and nervous – I felt so vulnerable! She deftly and smoothly soothed my fears, calmed my nervousness and gently coaxed out this brilliant Goddess from within me that I didn’t even know existed. With a skillful combination of encouragement and timing, she held the space for me to let my guard down and really be SEEN in a way I never had been before. I began to feel sacred, special and powerful standing on the other side of her lens, empowered even.

When I saw the images she’d gotten from our first session together, I cried tears of healing and relief. They were so beautiful! She has a unique ability to peer deeply into the soul of her subject through the lens of her camera, and it is reflected in her poignant, powerful work.

If you’re looking to be transported, transformed and treasured, I highly recommend you book yourself a session with Carla. Not only will the experience be beautiful, you will have treasured memories to look back on for years to come.

“I recently had a photo session with Carla for my business. I described to her what I was looking for physically but also emotionally and energetically and she 100% delivered! Carla has a knack for making the most photographically challenged and/or nervous of us feel at ease being the center of attention. Our session was playful, creative and with a sense of being on a relaxed adventure together. I was thrilled with my pictures and have nothing but positive feedback on them. They truly capture the essence of my business. Using them has already positively impacted my marketing reach. I highly recommend Carla for any of your photo needs.”

Carla captures powerful, moving and intimate moments with sensitivity, grace and a deep respect for her subject matter. When you experience her visual creations, you can not only see but also feel the skilled eye behind the camera that intuitively combines composition, color, angle, beauty and the sweet perfection of that instant into a snapshot of artistry.  As a committed photographer, one must completely surrender to the moment and transform the shapeshifting, dynamic and unpredictable energy into an timeless image that provokes a sense of connection, reflection and awe. She accomplishes this rare sense of alchemy with true mastery…
“Carla has taken photos at my yearly immersive retreat for two years. The results were wonderful. She captured a combination of action, contemplative and artistic images that we still continue to use for our advertising on all different platforms:  websites, all types of social media and printed material. She is skilled at photographing those perfect moments between people and their environment that are rich, engaging that capture a great representation of the atmosphere of the event.
She also takes wonderful candid and posed shots of people of all walks of life. If you are considering a skilled photographer for group events or single portraits (personal or business) that can offer a sense of artistic style and professional quality then I highly recommend her. I have worked with many photographers over the years for headshots, events, workshops,  as well as personal and family events… She is among the best…”
