Serving East Lyme & Niantic, New London County,
and surrounding CT shoreline towns
from Old Saybrook to Mystic
I’m a lifestyle photographer based in East Lyme, Connecticut, specializing in light-filled, natural portraits
for growing families along the Connecticut shoreline.
My approach is relaxed and connection-focused, capturing the quiet, meaningful moments that make having a new baby and raising children so special. Whether we’re documenting your newborn days at home or a family session by the water,
I use soft natural light and gentle guidance to create images that feel effortless, genuine, and true to you.
Inspired by the calm beauty of East Lyme and the surrounding shoreline communities, my work is warm, organic, and timeless. These are the moments that pass too quickly—the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms, the in-between glances, the feeling of being together—and they deserve to be remembered beautifully.
The result is a collection of modern heirloom images that reflect your story with honesty, softness, and connection.

I think sincere, candid moments make the best photographs, because they show the real you. Give me a silly grin over a forced smile any day! I strive to give you honest, beautiful snapshots of your life through sessions that are interactive and fun! All of my sessions take place either in your home or at a location of your choice. I am always happy to make suggestions regarding locations or props, and love to hear your ideas too. Every session is unique, just like you are!
I am a devoted wife as well as a mom to my two beautiful sons. Becoming a mom truly gave me a whole new patience for and insight into the world of children and families. And my passion for making beautiful images has never been stronger. Children change and grow so quickly...I blinked and both of mine are in middle school now! Capturing those fleeting moments along the way for you is an absolute joy for me!
When I'm not clicking away on my camera, I love tending to my ever growing (pun intended) houseplant collection, walking my big goofy Bernedoodle, watching true crime, reading chick lit, baking something yummy, and indulging in any kind of gummy candy.

Carrie was so gentle and went at our kiddo's pace to capture some incredibly special shots. The photos are filled with depth and texture, and reflect back to us this sacred time in our lives. Her style of newborn photography is much more organic and editorial than most; her professional training is top notch; her use of natural light is stunning. Highly recommend. working with her for any of your family photo needs. This is frameable, keepsake level kind of stuff.
'Carrie's creative vision for our newborn photo shoot was next level.'

Carrie has photographed my family annually for years. The images she captures are hung throughout my home and make annual holiday cards that get comments from family and friends alike. It is always a pleasure to work with her!
'She has an amazing way to capture our unique personalities with results we absolutely love.'

We had our family photos done by Carrie [and] the outcome was truly amazing. She was extremely patient and engaging with my children who were struggling to keep it together as their patience waned. Her editing style is also beautiful. We received many compliments when we used some of the photos for our Christmas card. We will certainly use her in the future for any photography needs. Highly recommend.
'She was so professional and had a keen eye for the right light and spots to photograph.'

As any parent knows, family photo sessions can come with big feelings and unpredictable moments…but she has a natural ability to connect with kids, gain their cooperation, and make the entire experience feel fun and relaxed (believe it or not)….bringing out the most genuine smiles and capturing personalities at just the right moment. Highly recommend!!
'She has a special magic behind the camera, [and] is always so quick to share proofs.'

We moved here 3 years ago and found Carrie to continue our tradition of annual family photos. Each year, she captures the best candid moments and provides such great memories of how fast our kiddos are growing. We also hired her to do a big photo session for our family of 3 generations as a gift for my parents. The photos are so beautiful and special to have.
'Carrie is patient and wonderful with children. She is a gifted photographer - HIGHLY recommend.'
