    "Carly is a joy to work with! So far, I’ve had an excellent experience at a group photoshoot (for a magazine article, with five of us being captured in individual and solo shots.) Carly felt comfortable giving direction, which we all really appreciated, and helped the photos to look natural and beautiful. She’s also captured several of my artwork pieces! I have a clothing branding shoot coming up in the fall & can’t wait to book her!"
