Before we get started

I take pride in helping people feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera. My goal for every photoshoot is to keep things light, easy-going, stress-free and fun. I totally get that being photographed can feel a bit intimidating. Don’t know what to do? Where to look? I got you!

Just show up and let me take care of the rest. I’ll guide you through any awkward moments, and together, we’ll capture beautiful, authentic, and unforgettable photos.

Got a silly inside joke with your partner that makes you both laugh uncontrollably? Let’s capture that! This is meant to be fun!

I love hearing your ideas, what you expect and your vision for the photoshoot, and I always encourage bringing along props. Hype-people are welcome too! Whether it’s a friend, parent, or having someone by your side can make the experience even more enjoyable and comfortable.

One more thing, I work quickly, so don’t be surprised if we wrap things up in less time than expected!

Carla was an absolute dream to work with for our SF City Hall wedding! From the very beginning, she was so flexible with locations and spent time ideating with us using mood boards to help bring our vision to life. On the day of, she brought so much joy and light. Her energy is truly unmatched. She had the BEST poses ready for us, made every moment feel natural, and was fantastic with our family. Carla has the kind of personality that makes everyone instantly comfortable; she kept us laughing while still being incredibly professional. Her turnaround time was unbelievably fast, and the photos... wow. Her ability to capture light and movement is magic. We're obsessed with every image. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, fun, and genuinely amazing to work with, Carla is the one!

Carla was such a pleasure to work with during our engagement shoot in Sutro Baths. My fiancé and I are not photogenic nor have we ever had our photos professionally taken but she made us both feel so comfortable from the start. It felt like taking photos with a friend around. She made an effort to visit the engagement spot a week before to get an idea of the area. We are so in love with how the photos came out and she sent us a handful of sneak peak photos the day of, 20 ish photos 2 weeks after, and our full gallery within 4 weeks. We'd highly recommend Carla for any photography needs. She is thoughtful, patient, friendly, and super communicative.

Carla was incredible to work with for our engagement shoot. My fiancé and I had never done professional photos before, but she made us feel completely at ease from the start. She was very organized, patient, and easy to work with throughout the whole process. What stood out most was how she listened to what I was hoping for, she took everything into account and went above and beyond what I was expecting. The photos came out to be so beautiful and the whole experience felt effortless and fun thanks to her guidance and energy. We're so glad we found her and couldn't recommend her more highly!

Before the Shoot

The purpose of the deposit is to lock the date & time in my calendar. Nothing is booked until the deposit is paid. 

Happy to change the date & time prior to 7 days before the shoot. If you cancel last minute or simply don’t show up the deposit is not refundable as I would not be able to book another shoot during that time.
