Who I Am

Hi! I’m Cara. I want to put truly personal art on your walls. Crazy-beautiful, make your guests gasp, make you well up in tears every time you walk into your living room art. Art that features YOU.

I am a Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area photographer specializing in Newborn, Child, Family, and Senior portraits. My style is fun, fresh, and candid – I try to bring fresh ideas to every session. I am not the portrait-place-down-the-road, where everyone’s pictures look the same. I strive to capture my clients’ personalities, their quirks, their souls. (For more insight into my photographic philosophy, click here.)

When I don’t have a camera stuck to my face, I’m usually on an adventure with my three young kids, browsing Pinterest, or avoiding housework. I sometimes find time to paint, although not as often as I’d like. Mostly though, I’m playing with/snuggling/tickling the kiddos.

I am often asked how I got started in photography. It began with art. I was first an artist, trained in fine arts, with a degree in Graphic Design. I also had a few photography classes during my formal schooling, but it wasn’t until after having my children that I realized that my true passion is capturing the moments in the life of a family. Several years, some remedial classes, and lots (and LOTS) of practice shots later… and here I am. Honestly though, I still am creating art. Different medium, but art nonetheless.
