Lifestyle & Portrait Photographer based in Phoenix, Arizona

Hey, I’m Carla. Nestled right in the heart of Arizona, I'm a creative thriving in the vibrant energy of Phoenix. With a lens in hand and a heart full of passion, I'm on a mission to paint genuine moments of life and love that resonate deeply. I believe in crafting images that evoke true emotions and tell stories that matter.

Graduating seniors stepping into new horizons, families basking in their bonds, couples lost in love – my passion lies in revealing the genuine emotions that weave the tapestry of your story. Much like an artist at an easel, I delicately paint each frame with authenticity, and every photograph is a brushstroke in the masterpiece that is your life.

Being rooted in my hometown of Lake Havasu City and having lived in Flagstaff for college allows me to intimately understand the soul of Arizona – its colors, textures, and rhythms. It's not just about the photographs; it's about the journey we embark on together. Your moments, your connections, and your stories – I'm here to capture them all, authentically and beautifully.
