PNW Photographer, world traveler, and chronic over-romanticizer.

I’ve always loved taking photos. Of friends, landscapes, the textures of a new city, or a dinner table after a good meal. I’m constantly inspired by the people I meet, the films that stay with me, art, and the music that becomes the soundtrack to it all. I live in Southwest Portland with my husband, Corey, and blue heeler, June. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably traveling or daydreaming about where to go next.

Before starting CarlyCas Photography, I spent years working in sales and customer success, learning how to connect with people from all walks of life. This year, I finally decided to lean into what’s always felt natural: creating and documenting full-time.

My work is rooted in a natural, nostalgic style, balancing candid storytelling with gentle direction. Creating images that I hope feel honest, effortless, and artfully composed. Always with a focus on storytelling and connection.

Let’s create the kind of photos you’ll still love ten years from now. Send me a message to start planning your session.
