I'm Carolina! Wife. Mom. Photographer. Off-roading, music loving, raptor chasing, I'll-do-it-myself kind of woman.
Before I began my photography business, I was a veterinary technician for over 10 years. It was my biggest passion to work with animals and be able to care for them whether it was in surgery or in recovery. It was truly a calling of mine; my father and I used to rescue injured birds, nurse them back to health and release them back to the wild. Life had another plan for me when I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and spondylosis. My vet tech days had to end, especially while trying to raise my newborn baby.
I picked up my camera and began shooting professionally, and haven't looked back. My passion is to make others feel empowered and embrace self-love.
When I'm not shooting, I love to head out on dirt trails to search for raptors, ancient ruins, and heart shaped rocks with my family.
I'm a bird nerd and often have binoculars glued to my face. I own 56 house plants and am always looking to adopt more, even though my husband says I have 'enough". (insert 'ugh' face here)
I've always been the type of person to want to figure things out on my own. One of my passions is working on my car and seeing what else I can do to it to make my adventures easier to get to.
