PHOTOGRAPHY
I'm so excited that you are interested in choosing me to document your big day! I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.
I believe in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come.
I began photographing weddings in 2012 after I bought myself my first DSLR on a whim. I'm grateful for that leap of faith, because I've met so many amazing people on this journey. Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.
Welcome
You've thoroughly combed through my website, blog and Instagram feed and you like what you see. Now it's time to tell me more about you two and your upcoming wedding!
Let's Chat!
You're engaged!
Once your date is officially reserved with a 50% retainer, I'll send over a few goodies to help you prepare for the big day. I'm happy to serve as a resource for vendor recommendations, timeline guidance and more!
Date Booked
Make it official
Sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few weeks before the wedding. I've found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos.
Engagement Session
I check in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else I should know about your big day.
Wedding Day Prep
It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. Just know I'm excited to celebrate and capture your wedding day. It's going to be awesome!
The Big Day
You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about three weeks of your wedding. At that time, I'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums.
They're Here!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Carla and 5 stars simply is not enough. Carla genuinely gets to know the couple, and cares about the work she delivers to them. I have heard from most people that they have a handful of favorite photos from their wedding day, with Carla, each photo delivered is a treasured story. In addition to being an excellent photographer, Carla's attention to detail is unmatched and very appreciated. She triple checks all items before your big day to ensure that everything is in place. As an added bonus, she is also one of the nicest human beings you will ever meet, and is certainly someone you want to capture your wedding day.
Attention to detail is unmatched.

Carla is the ABSOLUTE best!! From engagement photos to planning to the day of, Carla was amazing to work with and a quick communicator. She was extremely helpful in planning the timeline of photos and helped us keep on track the day of. She is laid back and has a positive fun attitude! We received our engagement photos back quickly and they were absolutely beautiful. Her editing style is timeless and natural! She was one of the best parts of our wedding team!

Carla made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She got the pictures back to us in a very timely manner and the quality of photos is excellent. Communicating with her was stress free and she maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the entire process!

REVIEW NO. 6 of 6
I'm a big believer that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day, most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
Think about this fact: fifteen years ago, if I had delivered you digital images, they would have been on a CD. With the fast updates to technology, you would have no way to access those images today. Even the online galleries I deliver will eventually fade away.
One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by ordering an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colors. These aren’t the same albums your parents' wedding photos came in. They’re modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on a coffee table.

DUPLICATE PARENT ALBUMS
Wedding albums are available a la carte or as part of your wedding collection.
After I deliver your gallery, I will work with you to design an album that will become an heirloom for your family with custom spreads, cover choices, etc.
Albums must be prepaid before design begins and typically take between 4 to 6 weeks to complete (including revisions).
With the exception of printing errors, all albums are non-returnable. Albums may be ordered anytime before or after the wedding day. The holiday deadline for beginning an order is November 1st.
Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. I do this for a living and I still always feel a little out of place when I have my photos taken every year.
I'm a big fan of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how I pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why
I've found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, I've taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few weeks before the wedding.
All of my wedding collections include a complimentary engagement session. A travel fee is required for sessions that take place outside of Sheboygan County. 40 miles of travel is included for engagement sessions.
