portrait photography

meets soulful and bold

Chicago | Italy | France

 

I am Karlie! Portrait and wedding photographer. I started photography career in Europe and brought my passion and expertise across the ocean to capture couples in love.

Wife, story-teller, and travel enthusiast.

As your wedding photographer, my role is to capture the authentic essence of your wedding day and turn it into keepsakes for generations to come.

Based out of the Chicagoland, most of the weddings I capture take place in Chicago, West Coast and Europe.

weddings

in Chicago and Italy!

Wedding photography is about more than just hiring someone to take pictures. Wedding photography is about carefully crafting and capturing the moments of your big day in a way that beautifully tells the story of your relationship. I try my best to capture photos in a natural way that doesn’t feel staged.

Kind words

 

Cristina and Andrew. We are so ridiculously in love with these photos.

All I can say is WOW.  We are so ridiculously in love with these photos.  Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for capturing exactly what we wanted and needed. The editing is absolutely perfect - and I am SO glad we made it to the riverwalk because those are some of my favorites!!! I received so many compliments of how professional you are, easy to talk to.  Some of my girls even called you their "HYPE GIRL".  I love it!  Really, I am so glad we chose you to be our photographer.  Thank you for being on this journey with us!
