My story begins around my middle school years, when my grandma bought me a digital camera from a garage sale. As years went on, I “upgraded” to newer and better digital cameras, but no matter where I was or who I was with, I was always the girl that had her digital camera strapped to her wrist. It came with me to family functions, sleepovers, nights I snuck out with friends, you name it.

Fast forward to the year 2017, when 20 year old college Carris was gifted her first legit camera… a Canon Rebel T6.
It was in that moment that I was like, “Okay, I’m officially a professional.” 

Don’t worry, I’m laughing with you too.

However, since then I haven’t stopped taking photos for others. At age 10 and even now in my late 20s, I latched onto the idea of capturing really beautiful human beings and those unforgettable, candid emotions.

Long story short, I’ve come a long ass way since I first picked up a camera, but I wouldn’t be the photographer or the woman I am without every single milestone.

 Some other totally random things I adore about life include my sweet baby boy, Graham, vacations to the desert, ungodly amounts of iced coffee, eating Mexican food, snuggles with my cats, and learning about true crime through books or podcasts. And if I’m not at my studio, you can probably find me head-banging in the crowd at a heavy metal concert with my husband, Blake.

Did we just become best friends?

that got me here.
