a gathering begins at the moment of invitation. it doesn't begin when people walk in the room

hi, i'm carisa

Golden Sunday Images

warmly, Carisa

i'm so glad you're here

get to know me

I'm a wife, mama of two, and a big believer in slowing down to soak up all the good stuff that's so easy to take for granted - the way he looks at you when you step into the evening light, the way their tiny hands wrap around your fingers, the way her eyes crinkle when she belly laughs. 

I started this work because I loved the arts, but I continue this work because as I get older I see how fast life moves. One day you're more in love than you thought was possible, and the next you're watching your babies grow up way too fast. I'm here to capture those sacred moments you don't even realize you'll miss until they're gone. I'll guide you gently, keep things light and easy, and deliver images that feel like you when you feel your best: warm, honest, and full of life. Whether it's your wedding day or just a regular Tuesday afternoon, I'm here to help you remember it all.
