A little about me.  I’m a mama to my son, Leighton and wife to my husband, Jared. I’m a family, newborn and motherhood photographer in South Carolina serving Columbia, Lexington and surrounding areas. My family is my biggest inspiration and reason I do what I do.

The year 2020 changed everything for me, as i’m sure it did for so many people. But for me, 2020 gave me clarity on my brand mission. Having my son brought new life not only to me as a person but to my business. My desire is to provide you and your family with an experience that leaves you feeling cared for and relaxed. Us moms have enough on our plates so I want to take every task that comes with a photography session and handle it all for you. From booking, to helping in the styling of your family to picking out your artwork, let me do the heavy lifting so you can enjoy the things that really matter. Which, in this season, are your little humans.

I’m so excited to connect with you and talk more about how I can best serve you in the season of life that you’re in!

I'M CARLY

Becoming a mom is an extraordinary experience that can often feel overwhelming.

At the time of my son’s birth, I was still a full-time wedding photographer and hadn’t booked a newborn session. I ended up booking a 30 minute lifestyle session when he was already a month old. Although I do love those images, I wish I had photos of him wrapped up by a professional newborn photographer and had more time during the session.

I want to give an experience to mamas that fully meets her desires for capturing this beautiful part of life in a way that she can completely enjoy. Nothing fills my heart more than documenting your motherhood journey - from your belly, to your arms to their first birthday, let’s create magic together!

I believe THAT MOTHERHOOD SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED AND CELEBRATED
