I protect the space around you.

I believe documenting memories should feel like a reprieve from the chaos. Whether it's on your wedding day, or your annual family photos, taking photos should be a safe place to laugh and cry and revel in all joy that happens when people come together in love.

I protect the space around my clients so you and your loved ones can breathe in the good stuff and ignore everything else. No groans, no worrying, no awkwardness.  

I also know that can only happen if I am someone you feel comfortable and want to spend time with. So first, let's be friends. 

This is a space of inclusivity. I strive to be a safe and nurturing place for all. I lovingly embrace all races, religions, sexual orientations and identities. You, your family and your loved ones will be seen, heard and cherished by me always. 

I can't wait to meet you. 


meet claire 

HI!
I'm claire.

Tell me more

I also answer to Claire Marie, CM, Mom, Mommy and DaDa (hopefully our youngest gets that figured out soon.) I'm the face and personality behind the business (and the camera) for the last 10 years. *waves*

I'm an outgoing introvert. Enneagram 8, if you're into that sort of thing. 

Interestingly, I'm probably one of the few photographers you'll meet who never planned on being a photographer. It found me. Some people find photography through the art, I found it through the story. I love a good story, and I use my camera to tell it.

I have always been able to see people. I notice what others may not and I love authentic relationships and I let that lend itself to the truth I capture with my lens. 

I have documented hundreds of beautiful celebrations, but what makes me the most proud is that, more often than not, I will also get to capture their family as it grows years later, or a friend of theirs. My business is entirely built on the relationships I have nurtured. I'm a for-lifer.
