Hello and thank you for visiting my website!

I'm Carolyn, a portrait, documentary and lifestyle photographer based in San Luis Obispo, California. I'm passionate about documenting people - individuals for their head shots, artists and makers for their websites, and families. I am grateful for the opportunity to capture your special moments and honor you in this process. 

I also create daily images of flowers, seeking to capture the beauty I see around me. I sell art prints and products through my studio as well as photo cards through our downtown art museum, the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art where my work has been exhibited in seven group shows. I sell my prints in different sizes, framed and unframed and I showcase my work in a traveling exhibit with different businesses that participate in SLOMA's Art About Town program. My images are printed locally and are Archival Pigment Prints.

I've dedicated over a decade to the non-profit sector, and am a co-founder of GleanSLO, a program of the Food Bank Coalition of San Luis Obispo County. We harvest local produce from generous farmers and backyard growers who donate their produce to people in need in our community. I stepped down as the program manager to pursue my creative pursuits but remain on the GleanSLO steering committee and continue to offer my photography skills pro-bono. Check out gleanslo.org to find out more about this program. 

Please don't hesitate to inquire about hiring me to take your portrait, or if you have any questions.

Thank you!
