I am so happy with the pictures and the whole experience. I was nervous beforehand because I am not comfortable in front of the camera. Cara made it not only comfortable but very fun! Kathleen did my makeup. She made me look amazing! She also was very fun. They made me feel so good it was a exercise in self image that was priceless. More...

Cara went above and beyond by scheduling our photo session on a Saturday morning to accommodate me. She listened closely and understood my photo needs before setting up and shooting. A true professional. I recommend Callalily Studios highly. More...

I was extremely impressed with Cara and Callalily Studios. Unaccustomed as I am with having photos taken of myself, she made me feel comfortable and really helped me in looking my best. She made it fun. I have already recommended her to other political candidates that I know and will definitely use her again! More...

I contacted Callalily Studios to handle professional profile photos for my business and career. I haven't done this often, and was a bit apprehensive. Cara's approach was perfect for me - she made me completely comfortable with the whole shoot and disarmed my tension with humor and wit. I really enjoyed working with Cara, she is extremely talented and I am thrilled with her photos. I'm already contemplating returning for a family portrait sometime soon. I would fully recommend Callalily Studios for any personal, professional or corporate photography need. More...

A few weeks ago my family had the pleasure of getting our pictures taken by the very talented Cara. We had no idea how much fun we would have. Cara made each of our daughters feel special and captured their unique personalities. It seemed effortless how she encouraged the girls to pose and enjoy their time in front of the camera. Cara had music playing and the girls just loved dancing and playing. They didn’t want to leave. The family pictures she took were also amazing! She knew exactly how to capture our family and had so many creative ideas in how we could sit or stand. The pictures seem so realistic and natural and we still can’t decide on just a few that we want to print. We recomend Callalily Studios ! More...
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Communication is the key to building a trusting relationship with your photographer which will produce the most appreciated photos.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Although I am happy to review a project via email, almost all projects require a phone conversation. As I work with both corporate and family clients, this conversation takes many forms. For portraits I always guide clients with clothing options. For events we review the timeline and important required shots. For anything advertising related, it is important that I understand your brand message so I can communicate it to your audience.
What do you love most about your job?
I enjoy collaborating with clients as we work towards their end goal and being able to share in important and joyful life moments.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After a 20 year career in Financial Services, I wanted to take my part time business full time. My corporate experience has made it extremely easy for me to work with high profile companies and non-profits. Discretion, professionalism and trustworthiness allow me to win repeat clients year after year.
