ABOUT ME

MY STORY

Photography became a form of therapy for me. I was never great at writing or saying how I felt, but behind the camera, I found my voice. It became the way I expressed myself quietly, visually, honestly. Over time, I found a passion for creating art with other creatives and a deep joy in crafting imagery and design that tells a story.

I never felt like I looked good in photos. But I was always drawn to fantasy worlds full of beauty, magic, and meaning. Eventually, I realized I could bring those elements into real life through photography.

Now, I use my work to help others feel breathtaking and seen. The magic isn’t something I add it’s already in you. These sessions often become transformative, a way to reconnect with who you are and how you want to feel.

I earned my BFA in Photography from Utah Valley University, and I’m continually inspired by the power of imagery to shift how we see ourselves and the worlds we want to step into.

“I only trust Karly for all of my photography needs — whether that’s product shoots for my small business or getting new family photos done. I can always expect professionalism, the highest quality and great communication in what I’m wanting so I always have my expectations met and exceeded. Most other photographers will give you a lot less edited photos in the end, but I’m always impressed with how many awesome pictures I get from our shoots.”
