About me
CAROLINE BURKARD
— Photographer & Founder
I’m here for the messy, beautiful, unscripted moments
I’m a Midwest native who leans heavily into an East Coast aesthetic, creating images that are inherently colorful, light, and full of life. With a creative background that started in television news reporting, I specialize in a mix of unscripted moments and gentle direction. A session with me comes with a lot of sarcasm and plenty of jokes to keep things light and fun. My ultimate goal? Making sure you are completely satisfied, deeply happy, and obsessed with your final product.

FAQ
Your questions answered
How many images will we receive?
I prioritize quality over quantity, but you can expect a minimum of 20 to 40 carefully curated and color-graded images depending on the type of session booked.
How do we secure our date?
Once we've had a chance to connect and ensure we are a perfect fit, a signed contract and a deposit will officially secure your date on my calendar.
When will we receive our final photos?
I know how eager you are to relive the day. The complete, meticulously color-graded digital gallery will be delivered within 3 months for Weddings or 4-8 weeks for Lifestyle or Family sessions.
Will you guide us in front of the camera?
Almost every couple tells me this before we start. My approach is relaxed, candid, and natural - meaning I will never force you into stiff, unnatural poses. Instead, I provide gentle, art-directed prompts that allow your genuine chemistry and movement to unfold naturally.
