Karly is an absolute dream to work with! She made my husband and I feel so incredibly comfortable and captured the joy of our wedding day beautifully in a way that felt truly authentic to us. She captured every photo we were hoping for and then some, seamlessly. She has such a calming, positive presence.

"A Dream of a wedding photographer!"

- the duckwall family

Karly is simply amazing! She has this way about her that makes you feel so comfortable and 'at home' from the start. She gets bonus points for being so funny, which makes for a laid back and just outright fun session! Karly is pure magic behind the camera.

Wonderful experience working with Karly! She is fun, welcoming, and understands kids! She really invited us to laugh, have fun and enjoy our kids during the session. We loved working with Karly and recommend her for anyone hoping to have a blast taking beautiful family pictures together!
