About Family Photo shoots with Carly

Family photo shoots should be fun, relaxing and most of all about capturing your beautiful family in that moment! A moment to be treasured.

  Carly was magnificent. She photographed my wedding and she was so friendly which made it really easy to work with her. She made us feel really comfortable and really went above and beyond.

  Carly did a personal branding photo shoot for me, and I'm so glad she did! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and absolutely love the photos. Carly really took the time to understand me and my business before the photo shoot, and as a result I felt she really captured who I am, what I stand for in my business and how I want to present myself. I felt truly honoured and nurtured throughout. Her passion and interest for this is so apparent. She brings an incredible energy and enthusiasm that makes the whole experience so much fun. I am beyond happy with the huge range of photos I got and will use them for years to come. Thank you so much, Carly!! 🙏💜

  Carly is a fantastic photographer, but importantly, she made us feel extremely comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day. We would like to say a big thank you to Carly for all of her hard work and for being so warm and enthusiastic! The photographs she took of our wedding were stunning and we were so happy with the way that she captured our special day! We were very excited to receive our photobook, which turned out to be even more amazing than we had hoped - we are truly grateful that we chose Carly to photograph our wedding :)

  From our first meeting with Carly we felt at-ease and confident that she would capture our wedding day in the natural photography style we prefer.

On our wedding day, Carly was both warm and professional and the time we spent having photos taken became a special part of our day.

The photos are stunning and exactly what we hoped for.  Carly's service after the wedding was excellent - we were able to enjoy a preview of our wedding photos on our honeymoon.

We would highly recommend Carly as a wedding photographer.

  I was lucky enough to win a competition with Carly. Carly treated my family and I to an amazing afternoon in McLaren Vale - wines and apple juice at Loom Wines all while being chauffeured by the lovely folks from Kombis4U. That treat alone was enough, but of course there were photos taken too.

With 4 young kids in tow it's not always easy to get the best snaps - but Carly did a terrific job of keeping our kid's interested and photo ready. We were really pleased with the quality of the photos that were taken and the way in which they were presented was fantastic too.

Even though we had won a competition Carly treated us as full-paying customers. Thank you Carly for capturing such beautiful memories of that day, your generosity and enthusiasm has won you a new customer for years to come!

  Carly is a fantastic photographer and it was an absolute pleasure having her photograph our wedding. Having a photographer with a beautiful personality helped make the experience that much better, in fact we were that happy we had her take photo's of our new baby boy recently. Would give her 6 stars if it was possible!
