“Carrie photographed us in Big Sur and we are thrilled both by the experience of the photo shoot as well as the images she captured. After arriving on a foggy day, Carrie was more than happy to lend her knowledge of the area to find the perfect spots for our photos. Her easy-going vibes helped us relax-despite the fact that we are both sometimes stiff in front of a camera-and we felt at ease and were able to be present with each other during the entire shoot. The images turned out better than we could have hoped and Carrie was a pleasure to work with through the whole process of setting up the details of the shoot to the delivery of the images.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • You'll receive your photos as high-resolution digital images in an online gallery. From here, you can download your images as many times as you want, share a link directly with loved ones, and even order prints through the attached print store.

  • I guarantee a minimum of 35 images per hour of shooting, however final galleries typically include much more than that. I don’t put a limit on number of photos — you’ll receive all the best ones from the day!

  • Your final gallery will be delivered within 2 - 3 weeks from your session date.

  • I will do minor blemish removals (for temporary marks like pimples, small cuts/scratches, etc.) but I do not make edits to change your body, hair, or makeup.

  • Part of the experience I provide is carefully reviewing everything captured and pulling the strongest images to edit and deliver. You will receive a complete, polished gallery of the best moments, and from there you can choose any favorites for albums, prints, or sharing.

  • We embrace it! Something as out of our control as a little rain is nothing to stress over - we can go for a full “Notebook” vibe or make use of the clear umbrellas I always keep on hand.

    If we have the flexibility to bump our session time, I’m always open to that as long as my schedule allows. And of course when absolutely necessary (in the case that it would be dangerous or damage to my gear would be unavoidable) we will find a rescheduling solution that works for all of us.

  • You can bring as many as you want, as long as your coverage allows the time it takes to change. In general, I don't recommend more than 1 outfit change (2 outfits) per hour. Accessories and layers that you can easily add / remove are a great way to get more variety in your photos without needing to do a full change, which can take up a chunk of your coverage time.

  • This will depend on how far apart locations are, how much time you'd like to spend at each one, and lighting at the locations. Reach out with your ideas and I can share specific advice! In general, I recommend 1 hour per unique location.
