Hi there, beautiful people!

—

My name is Clara and I currently live in Pinehurst, NC. I am drawn to finding beauty in the ordinary and strive to help capture genuine interactions between you and your loved ones. You will not find any stiff, awkward poses over here! I have been photographing families for over 5 years and have photographed over 400 families!

My goal is to capture you as you are. No uncomfortable poses or awkward moments. Just you and your kids playing, snuggling, laughing, and having fun. I get to know you before your session even begins so I can see the things that make your family unique and help capture the magic that is YOU. When you look through these photos years from now I want you to smile, not because everyone or everything was perfect, but because there was so much love.

I am originally from Upstate NY, however, my husband and I have lived in many different places over the past 10 years. We have called PA, TN, and now NC home! So many of my clients have become dear friends! I love exploring new areas and finding new places to document life + love. When I’m not at a photoshoot you can find me hanging out with my kids with a vanilla latte in hand. We love being outside so most of our days are spent at the local playgrounds and walking trails.

I have two kids who fill my days with so much light. Becoming a mom has significantly changed the way that I view each photo session. Capturing their childhood has ignited my passion for serving families from birth to beyond. My focus is now drawn to the simple moments: the way my son’s hair looks when he wakes up, his focus when playing with cars, how my daughter’s eyes light up when her dad finishes work, and the way her chubby little fingers wrap around mine. These are the things I want to help you always remember too. All the good + messy +mundane + BEAUTIFUL.

I would be thrilled to work with you and can’t wait to get started. Thank you so much for considering me to capture some of the best days of your life!
