We're all thinking it so I had to say it. An absolute classic.

If you don't know where the reference is from, I’m not mad at you for not knowing, just disappointed.

If you really don't know, it's from The Silence of the Lambs. Give it a watch!

Hello, Clarisse.

I get what it’s like to be on the other side of the camera, feeling a bit awkward or unsure about how to pose. Some photographers focus more on perfection, but I’m here to capture the vibe and energy that make your relationship special. I focus on you—how you connect, how you laugh, and all those small moments that tell your story.

Because at the end of the day, I’m like you—a person in love, wanting photos that feel as genuine and joyful as the moments themselves. My goal is to create images you’ll look back on and feel that same spark, those same laughs, and that same love over and over again.

Perfectly imperfect 

Shooting with me is more like a relaxed date—with your cool friend (that’s me!) tagging along to capture those real, unfiltered moments. I know the camera can feel intimidating, but trust me, almost every couple feels that way. My job is to help you feel comfortable so we can create images that reflect your true connection and personalities.

After being photographed with my own partner, I realized how much I wanted photos that felt real to us, not just pretty shots. I wanted to see our natural dynamic, our laughter, and the little in-between moments that made us, us. That experience totally reshaped how I approach photographing my clients—I’m all about capturing who you really are together.

A peek into my life & THE THINGS THAT MAKE ME, ME.

ME IN A NUTSHELL

I'm an Enneagram 7 and ENFP (your classic fun-seeker)
I'm a vintage girlie - I love thrifting and vintage clothes! 
I love karaoke (let's go to Redwing in North Park! Go-to song: Drops of Jupiter by Train - I will belt this from memory)
I'm a big Fleetwood Mac stan (and I have a tattoo to prove it)
Obsessed with my wife (hi bunny I love you) and our little dog Salem! We rescued him from The Animal Pad :)
I was nominated for "Best Sense of Humor" in high school (I didn't win, but I was nominated, and that's enough for my ego)

"If you are looking for a hilarious, talented, reliable, easy to get along with, and FUN photographer, Clarisse is your girl!"
