HI! I"M CARLY!!! The face behind the camera at Carly Stopp Photography. I am a nurse, wife & mama to the sweetest little girls, Margot + Jillian, who are the inspiration behind everything I do. 

I am a chaser of the perfect sunset, lightning bugs, lover of naps & country music, coffee addict, + craft beer lover. Unlike a lot of photographers around me, I wasn’t always “called” to be a creative, but I’ve never felt more at home with a camera in my hand. I am that one that friends + family are often annoyed by because I always need "just one more" picture. I am all about capturing those moments that only last for a few seconds, so you can look back on them for years to come. I became a mom in early 2021 + that’s when I KNEW. I was constantly taking photos of my daughter with everyone else. I’d put her to bed + look at the photos I’d taken that day + the one thought I always had was, “where am I?” My driving force is getting moms back IN the photos.

After becoming a mama, I quickly learned how quickly time passes, + how important it is to capture every moment possible. I strive to not only capture those moments for you + your family, but to create a genuine connection with each + every one of you.

xoxo, C

I want you to have photographs that FEEL like you. I also want you to look back on the photos + how much fun you had during your session with me.

With skills in composition, lighting, and storytelling, these captured moments are not just pictures, but windows into the past that evoke feelings + nostalgia. 

Remember paging through the photo album on the coffee table at grandma's? Yeah, let's make sure your grandkids have that, too!
