“If I could write a 10-page essay on how amazingly talented Carly is, I would! Carly is our wedding photographer (lucky us). We decided to do an engagement shoot with her so we can meet her and get a feel for her working style. Carly BLEW US AWAY. Not only is she so sweet and funny, but she is so professional and knows exactly what she’s doing. She made us feel so comfortable and guided us the whole way through since it was our first time doing a shoot. We had an amazing time and couldn’t believe taking pictures would be so fun. Carly delivered the most dreamy gallery only THREE DAYS after our session. Every picture is perfect, truly. She captured our essence so well and honestly I don’t know how we’re going to ever top these pics, that’s how good she is! I would 1000000% recommend Carly. Run don’t walk if you’re thinking about working with her! We loved her!!!” — Marie Elena

“I never thought I would be the one on a review saying I wish I could give more than 5 stars…… but seriously, Carly blew every expectation out of the water with our wedding photos! To start off, I booked her blindly after just doing some research on Instagram. I liked her page, inquired, she was super friendly and helpful to understand what she offers. Her prices are great and worth every penny, giving a lot of options for what you need for your photos. After an easy booking process, Carly stayed in touch, and I felt like we were friends before my wedding day even arrived, and before we even met! The wedding day was perfect, Carly kept us on track with time, helped me to stay calm, remembered my photo wishes for me, and brought every single vision to life with the photos she took! She was fun to be around, got so many perfect photos… and her turn around time SERIOUSLY INCREDIBLE! Around 2 weeks after the wedding and Carly already has our gallery to us. I am so grateful for everything she has done, she truly played a huge part in making our wedding as special as it was. I am so happy that I booked her! You will not be disappointed!!!!” — Sammi

“Carly is absolutely AMAZING! I cannot say enough great things about her. We hired her to capture our engagement and our wedding day. She was extremely communicative and is willing to give assistance with timeline creation and any advice for your day of that she can! My husband and I have never done professional photography before working with her and she made us feel super comfortable and made the entire experience fun! On the day of our wedding, it’s like she was a fly on the wall but was able to capture more than we could have even imagined and all the emotions that come with it. She's super quick getting your photo's back to you and even got us FOURTEEN sneak peeks THE NIGHT of our wedding!! Her husband was our second shooter on the day of our wedding as well and the two of them worked so well together. So glad that we booked Carly and will always recommend her to anyone who wants/needs photography done for any life event. Don't look any further, just book! Highly recommend!! Thank you again for helping make our day so wonderful!” — Emily

“Carly was our photographer for our engagement photos and our wedding day and she went above and beyond in every aspect for us. She helped us with any and all questions, made sure we got the photos we wanted, stayed later than expected when the timeline changed. She sent us our wedding sneak peak photos the same night as our wedding, which was not expected at all but so amazing to have. We live down state and Carly was our go to girl with anything we needed. She is kind, empathetic, easy going, and incredibly passionate about her work. From the first time we met Carly, it felt like we had been friends with her for years. She is the best! I could not have imagined a more amazing photographer and person for our big day!” — Lauren

“We absolutely loved working with Carly! She helped stage and pose us perfectly and we had so much fun taking photos with each other and Carly too! She also got our engagement photos back to us so quickly which was a huge blessing. We are so excited to have these hung up in our future home. I can't recommend Carly enough! Carly did AMAZING on our wedding photos and we were so happy with how they turned out! Her quick turnaround is so impressive (we got our sneak peeks THE NIGHT OF OUR WEDDING!!) That was so exciting and so appreciated! She captured our love so well and we could not be more happy with our wedding photos that will forever be in our home!” — Brooke

“Since we moved to traverse city 2 years ago, we have worked with Carly MANY times. Individually and as a family. She not only did shoots for me for personal brand work/business, but she also did our pregnancy announcement, maternity, homebirth, newborn shoot and summer family photos. She is so sincere, gifted and full of love. I can’t stop recommending her to people looking for an amazing northern Michigan photographer!!!” — Madie

“Carly is great to work with, so sweet, patient, and quick to deliver! But even better than her cool vibe, is that she is truly meant to capture humans in love; whether its an engagement, a wedding, or family photos, i promise you’ll see them and be awestruck at how everything you wanted that moment to feel like comes together effortlessly in the photos she takes! You will not be disappointed!” — Kelsey

“Carly is amazing! She is so kind and we felt like we just had a friend at our elopement taking pictures, even though it's the first time we met her. She's very easy going, and very efficient! We are in love with our pictures. I'm a photographer myself so searching for a photographer was a very difficult task, as I know what I like and am picky when it comes to photos. Carly's work is stunning and we're so happy we were able to book her!” — Kristina

“Carly is absolutely AMAZING! I am blown away by our beautiful wedding pictures! She communicated so well throughout the whole planning process, and was so organized and knowledgeable the day of! It was such a huge relief to have her as a part of our special day. 10/10 the best! Highly recommended. We can’t thank you enough for making our day a memorable one.” — Jenna

“Carly’s work is phenomenal! I chose her based on viewing her quality of work and working with her proved it’s not just about the quality of her work but also the experience. All her poses and ideas were spot on. She was efficient and patient with us and our dogs. We would choose her over and over again! Carly, you have pure talent!” — Tara Jo

“My husband and I never had nice photos together and really wanted some unique and GOOD photos. Carly exceeded our expectations! I found Carly while planning a weekend trip to Traverse City for our anniversary. I was looking at traverse city hashtags on Instagram to get ideas of things to do. I came across several photos I thought were super cool and well-done and realized they were each done by Carly! I messaged her immediately to set up a session during our trip. My husband (who isn’t a fan of taking photos) admitted he had a lot of fun during the shoot. Carly does not take boring photos and gave us clear directions during the shoot. She had us get in the water, do all sorts of poses on the sand, and it was everything we wanted from hiring a professional photographer. In the past, we paid too much money for completely outdated photographers and the results looked like something we could have taken ourselves and we were given the raw photos. Carly’s work is “cool”, fun, and “instagram-worthy” :) the editing was everything. We are obsessed to say the least and plan to set up more sessions in the future.” — Lisa

“Carly was incredible. She is creative and thoughtful, in addition to being warm and very fun to work with. We wanted to take anniversary photos on our trip to Michigan and Carly was a wonderful guide - suggesting locations and giving directions to a place we would have never found or been able to experience ourselves. She also got us our photos back within 24 hours which is out of this world! The photos themselves are our favorite photos we’ve taken - the editing is flattering but not overdone and the shots are candid and genuine, not posed. She listened to the ideas we had for the pictures and really made them come to life! We could not be happier!!!” — Lydia

“I’ve worked with Carly multiple times and she is THE BEST! She makes everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera, so even those who usually shy away are able to get high quality, amazing photos. Her directions are always clear and helpful, too. On top of the great experience during the actual photo shoots, Carly’s editing skills are by far the best I’ve seen. Each photo turns out incredible and is something to cherish forever. Highly recommend her services!!!”— Peyton

“My family had last minute plans to head up to traverse city so on a whim I reached out to Carly she rearranged her schedule and made things work without a blink. It was stress-free and she let the kids kind of do their thing as well as providing some natural prompts so we didn't feel to posed. She provided the gallery well under the time frame she had mentioned and we were just blown away! As a mom time is flying past me and Carly froze time with these pictures! Can't get them printed quick enough! We will be booking again! Highly recommend her!” — Taylor

“Our family loved working with Carly! Her peaceful spirit made pictures fun and easy. We were blown away by the quality of the photos as well. We truly couldn’t believe how a stranger could so accurately capture our family in this season of our lives. Thank you, Carly!” — Danielle
