ABOUT ME

Hello, I am Cara.
A lifestyle photographer based in central Illinois.

I received my first camera in high school. It brought me happiness to capture photos. I loved when something looked “right”, the lighting was on point, or a facial expression was good/funny. However, as time has passed, I see these, and realize the photos I’m looking at are moments, and I can not only remember the events, but feel the fun, love, beauty, and joy from that time.

As I have moved through camera after camera, to now my beloved Nikon - I’m still snapping away, and will continue to learn how to keep perfecting those images, get the light right, but capture the emotion all the same. I dedicated my professional career to the care of people, and their health, and am now wanting to dedicate more of my time to one of my first loves.

I’m honored if you would chose me to capture the moments that help you preserve the memories.

Blessings
