Embracing Life's Intimate Moments and Bold Adventures: A Photographer's Odyssey
hey there lovely! if you've made it this far, i'm already convinced we'd be best friends. I'm carly rae, a storytelling photographer based out of mississippi.
If you're new here, I'm a bold & emotional storytelling photographer based out of Mississippi. Travel & adventure have always been engraved in my soul, & my hope is that it translates into my art. Motherhood holds a special place in my heart and through my camera.
I'm a mother to a crazy & energetic 4 year old that has my entire heart. When I'm not chasing around my son or editing galleries, I'm running my other business designing branding & websites for female service providers. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing someone's vision come to life - whether it's through a photo gallery, a logo, or a website. I'm so honored you're here & love the art I've created as well. Take a look around & learn more about this business - and experience - that I built for you!

Carly's eye for not only detail, but storytelling is astonishing. She guided my girls and I during the entire shoot which I was incredibly thankful for! Not to mention, her stunning wardrobe in her client closet! She took the guess work out of what we needed to wear! The shoot was a blast and the final result was more than I could have ever asked for. From the rich, bold, and dramatic edits to the emotion and love that she captured so perfectly, it was nothing short of incredible. I can't wait to display these images in my home and I will definitely be using Carly again in the near future!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
Carly is by far the best of the best! ✨
Does anyone else get antsy and overwhelmed about what to wear for a photo shoot? Definitely ME. ✋🏼
Not only does Carly give suggestions on color palettes to choose from, she has her OWN client closet y’all. The options are priceless. She has different styles and different colors of the most beautiful pieces. GOOD QUALITY too. Everything she has been hand picked by her.
While I’m telling you about her style of clothes, let me tell you about her style of photography. I’ve not seen anything like it. Between her editing skills and creativity I can not recommend her enough. Carly’s creativity and passion for photography definitely shows. The entire time during our mommy + me photo session (with a 5 year old) lol was so much fun!! She was patient and encouraged my daughter and I to be ourselves and just have fun. Everything felt as natural as she is. 🫶🏼
Thank you, Carly so much! We can wait for our next shoot!
Super flexible with scheduling, spent lots of time helping me pick out the right outfits for my whole family, and was super patient with my uncooperative toddler! 100% recommend if you want someone who understands your crazy life and wants to capture it for you!
