Hey All! I'm Carissa Stephens.

A snapshot of me!

I learned from a young age that capturing moments happening all around me was my passion. I have had the pleasure of working with amazing families, couples, and individuals from newborns to seniors for the past 10 years!

When I am not photographing, I am a stay at home Mama. I have an amazing husband, Zach and two incredible boys, Brantley and Ty.

I also have my adorable pups who I am slightly obsessed with; Scout and Mac!

I am very outgoing and will do whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable in front of my camera. I am warning you now, I will make funny noises at your children for a good laugh and bark at your dogs to get them to look my way for the photo. 

Let’s get a session scheduled and capture some amazing photos you can cherish forever.

“We take photographs as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone."

I will never go to anyone else for photography! I’ve worked with many different photographers over the years for different life events and nothing compares to Carissa’s photos. My family is in no way photogenic and she makes us all look amazing! She really does capture the moment. Looking back on old photos brings me right back to some of the most precious memories. She is also extremely timely with her edits, which we all can agree is crucial when wanting professional photos!

I can’t thank you enough for making senior pictures for my son (and daughter six years prior) such a great experience. You were very accommodating to our schedule and where we wanted to shoot pictures. You had suggestions on poses and was very open to ours as well. It’s not easy to direct a guy on poses sometimes, so the fact that you had samples photos to share with him made it easy to get great pictures. We got the pictures quickly and they looked great. It was very easy to view and download.

At the beginning of fall I met with Carissa and we shot around and talked and had such an amazing time. Carissa is one of the nicest, most outgoing, personable, enjoyable fellow photographers I have the pleasure of getting to know.

We couldn’t say more good things about Carissa and her work! She was a godsend the day of our wedding! She worked around our schedule flawlessly, ran around the venue getting pictures of everything she possibly could. She captured every moment that was important to us and so many more! We could not have been happier with the final product, quality and quantity of pictures and how quickly we got them back!

Every time I set up a time to have my family photographed by Carissa I am always so excited! She has been photographing my family since 2016 when I was married. Again in 2017 when my daughter was born and many more times since then! One of my favorite sessions was an in home Christmas session. She is so amazing with kids and always makes sure to get the best action pictures of them being themselves. I get so excited to get pictures back and I am never disappointed. Carissa never fails to impress me with go
