I'm Carly
Thoughtfully designed mini sessions for families and milestones, created with busy schedules in mind — without sacrificing quality or experience.
Meet your photographer
I’m Carly — a Pittsburgh-based family and wedding photographer with a heart for documenting genuine, meaningful moments. My mini sessions are thoughtfully designed for families and parents who want beautiful, professional images in a relaxed, efficient format that fits real life.
With years of experience photographing weddings and families throughout Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania, I bring a calm, guided approach to every mini session. From gentle direction to thoughtful planning, my goal is to create a stress-free experience that allows you to be present — even if photos usually feel intimidating — while I capture the moments that matter most.
Let's Make some magic together
Mini sessions are designed for families who want beautiful, meaningful photos without the pressure of a full-length session. With a relaxed pace, gentle guidance, and a focus on genuine connection, this experience is meant to feel easy, enjoyable, and stress-free — especially for parents and little ones.
