Well, hello there!

I'm C. Marie, but you can call me Carrie. I'm a proud mom of three amazing boys and I've been loving photography for 25 years.

I'm just a Midwestern girl who has been completely in love with photography for 25 years. I’ve seen a lot of changes in the photography world, but what I love most hasn't changed. People.


I love creating images that make you look at yourself and think, ‘Wow, I look Goooood.’


Whether you're celebrating your senior year, building your business, or simply want photos that feel like you, you deserve an experience that feels relaxed, fun, and completely personalized.

What Lights Me Up?

High School Seniors

I absolutely LOVE working with high school seniors.

After spending 10 years in youth ministry, I have a huge heart for the next generation. I love getting to know each senior, discovering what makes them unique, and creating an experience that helps them feel confident, seen, and celebrated.

Your senior photos session is designed to give you confidence and create photos that are totally you!

Female Entrepreneurs

I love working with women who are building something of their own. Your branding photos should tell your story, show your personality, and help your ideal clients connect with the person behind the business.

With my background in graphic design, I bring both photography and design experience to create a cohesive, polished brand presence.

Photography + branding + design = a whole lot of possibilities.
