Carrie Jo - Portrait Artist & Storyteller
This part should be the easiest part of this whole thing, right? I mean, who knows ME more than ME? I’ll tell you the parts of me that I feel are most important to you in choosing a photographer to create your special memories.
For one, I am a mother of four. Patience is something I have graciously and inevitably developed over the years. I will not rush you or your little ones through a session. I do not have any time limits on my regular sessions, I will photograph until I am personally thrilled with the images we have created. I somehow see beauty in everything and everyone. That’s hard to believe, right? (Trust me, I do and it can be a curse, too!)
My love for photography started as a child. It began with 24 exposures and a dream. Double prints to share with friends and family, finding that one image that lit up my soul and begging to have it enlarged to an 8x10. I first fell in love with nature photography, but I learned in high school that people paid more than sunsets on the bayou, snowy mountains, or fall colored leaves on trees hovering over a beautiful Arkansas back road. So, I shifted my efforts to portraiture, which I found just as much joy and beauty in creating as well. I believe that eyes are the window to the soul and I think you will see that in my work.
My style can also be seen through my work, however, please know I am always open, willing and so very excited to try new things and have creative freedom with you to create art TOGETHER. Inspired by you is more than just some words in my logo, it’s truly how I want each session to be, inspired by you, the client. So what are you waiting for? Let’s chat today about creating your dream session and portraits that you will love and cherish forever!
