Hi there! I'm Carol and so happy you're here!


In 2023, my family and I made the move to Colorado to embrace a new chapter filled with fresh experiences and stunning mountain views. My days are fueled by the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the crisp mountain air, and the magic of breathtaking sunsets. I truly believe in celebrating individuality and the incredible things we’re all capable of achieving.


Choosing a photographer for one of the biggest moments of your life is a big deal—it’s so important to feel a connection with the person capturing your story. If you’re in the Colorado Springs area, let’s meet up for coffee and chat! I’d love to hear your story, learn about your vision, and see if we’re the perfect fit to create something amazing together.

Let's work together to create the photographic memories you deserve!
