Hello, I'm carissa

alternative Wedding &
portrait Photographer

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm really glad you're here. My style is a little moody and a little warm film style. I love playing with shadows and finding artistic ways to shoot, so if you're here for that bright & airy style, I'm afraid you've stumbled into the wrong place.


If you're looking for a photographer who:

  • thinks outside of the box...
  • is willing to try new things (like standing on ladders to get the perfect shot)...
  • runs purely on vibes, opportunity, and Diet Coke...
  • is maybe a little weird and eccentric...

then I may be the one for you.


I hope you choose to join me in capturing you and your loved ones on this wild adventure we call life. (I'm super fun at parties).

My approach

 

This ain't your 1999 Sears photoshoot (but we can do one if you want). I believe in taking real photos. Your hair was a mess because your partner attacked you with kisses? Love it. Your kid got a little dirty while playing outside before your shoot? EVEN BETTER. The laughs, the silly faces- I love bringing the raw and real moments into the light. They're not imperfections, they're who we really are. They're the proof that we're human and they deserve to be seen just as much, if not more, as a neat, perfect smile does! Candid, only-slightly prompted moments are my favorite. After all, your photo album should be a time machine, not a catalogue.
