Get to know me more thru my blog - click here!

My taste is extremely eclectic: I've been known to like everything from R&B to opera, action movies to foreign, vegetarian meals to Indian cuisine, ballgames to ballet and everything in between!

I married my best friend who also happens to be a computer gee...I mean guru

I am not the crafty, domesticated type, even though I fail at every attempt I will never give up hope that one day my plants won't die, my cakes won't fall apart and my crafts won't be covered in glue!

The beach is what I crave
though I'm not sure why since I do not like swimming in the ocean

I am a mom to an elementary school aged daughter, a tabby cat and beagle-mix dog

I am a classically trained soprano who majored in theater

I enjoy quiet moments and can be quite the home body

My name is pronounced Car-Leese

I'm an open book, you can ask me anything!

I believe the connection and the emotion are the most important aspects of a photograph. THIS is why I do lifestyle and not traditional chain studio stuff. Don't hire me because I am a photographer, hire me because you enjoy my art and vision!

Keep in mind, every session is unique and different just like no two people are alike. I will cater to each person...backdrops, studio posed and the 'must look into the camera at all times' look is NOT what you will receive if you hire me!

'08 graduate of the prestigious New York Institute of Photography of NYC. Some of my key characteristics; patient, soft spoken and loving! I would describe my vision as up-close and personal, spur of the moment and natural. I get to meet fantastic people along the way: THANK YOU so much for this!!
