About

Hello! I am a natural light portrait photographer based in Thousand Oaks, California. My love of photography started at a young age. When I had my own children, I began to appreciate even more the lasting value of photos and the beautiful memories they help preserve. I have seven year old boy & girl twins who had an early start in the world. They were born 10 weeks early and spent almost two months in the NICU. They are trhiving now and I’m so thrilled with the amazing individuals they are growing into. I honed my trade taking headshot photos of my children for the entertainment industry. The goal there is to use natural light and have the true beauty of the individual shine through with little distractions in clothing and backgrounds. I have translated this to my portrait photography. My style is very organic. I love to focus on my subjects and their interaction with one another, so I use few props and hold sessions in natural settings or the comfort of new baby’s home. My patience with young children and my background in marketing are assets my clients value. Please check out my Yelp page for client reviews and like my facebook page for current events and samples of my latest work. No two families are alike, and every photo session a different experience. We can come in with ideas in mind, but we leave with a beautiful creation that is uniquely yours. I would welcome the opportunity to meet you and help you celebrate your milestones or your everyday! Please call me for appointment availability and pricing details.

Sincerely, Carrie
