About

Hi, I’m Cara.

I’m a couple, wedding and family photographer based in Virginia, working across Virginia, DC and Maryland. I studied journalism in college and worked as a reporter, and that’s where I fell in love with photographing real people and real stories. More than ten years later, I still shoot like a photojournalist: I watch closely, step in lightly, and wait for the moments that happen on their own.

I want my photos to hold more than how you looked. I want them to hold how it felt. And yes, I care about light and composition too. Real doesn’t have to mean plain.

I feel genuinely lucky to do this work, and I think that happiness is what makes the photos feel warm.

你好，我是 Cara，常驻弗吉尼亚，在 DMV 地区拍情侣、婚礼和家庭。大学读新闻传播，做过记者，从那时起爱上用相机记录真实的人和事，一拍就是十多年。我希望照片记录的不只是好看的样子，还有当时的心情。很多年后再翻出来，你还能被它打动。
