Karlye Photography & Design

We adore Karlye! She has taken photos of us through different seasons of our lives. She is able to capture each person perfectly and her attention to the small details is impeccable. In addition to photos you can cherish, she makes each session special by adding a little something extra…sending you home with a few Instax or making some of your photos into a GIF. She is the best hype woman and will have you laughing the whole session! Could not recommend Karlye enough and we miss her so much!

Karlye captured our wedding day perfectly!! She was a calm, kind and fun presence to add to our special group of people. We look back on our photos fondly!

Where do I even begin?! Hiring Karlye was hands down one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. She is so much more than just a photographer, she’s a calming presence, a hype woman, a magician with a camera, and apparently, a fairy godmother with a needle and thread. I hired her for photos the day I closed on my house (ended up being my engagement photos, didn’t know it at the time) then again for my wedding day! At every photo shoot she made me feel so seen, celebrated, and beautiful. You can tell she truly cares about the person in front of her lens, not just capturing a good photo, but capturing the essence of who you are. And here’s the part I’ll never forget for as long as I live: when my wedding dress zipper broke—yes, BROKE—the day of my wedding, she literally sewed me into my dress. With her calm-as-can-be demeanor, she saved the day (and my sanity). Who else can say their wedding photographer literally stitched them into their gown?! She’s a dream, a talent, and someone I’ll be forever grateful to.

Karlye was an absolute gem to work with!! We worked with her for a fall mini session, and we were IN LOVE with our photos! It was our first time taking photos with our puppy, and she was so good with him and getting great shots. Not only is she talented, but she was so sweet and patient with us. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED KARLYE!!

Karlye is SO great! The experience is absolutely painless and smooth and the photos are always so good. She knows just how to get the perfect smile from everyone. Highly recommended!

Karlye is amazing!!! She has taken the best photos of our family over the years — including dogs and toddlers! Our daughter is very shy, especially while taking pictures, and Karlye does an amazing job getting her to laugh and smile. She works very hard to get good pictures! She always makes the shoots special by doing a little something extra, it’s more than we could ever ask for in a photographer. We love her style of photography, she takes timeless photos that we can display in our home year round. Love love love!

Karlye’s talent and joyful disposition make her an easy choice for a photographer! She took our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! Her personality makes each session so fun, she becomes an instant friend who’s cheering you on in your happiest moments! She made me feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We will always be grateful to her for capturing that special time in our lives.

Karlye has been our family photographer for several years and has done an amazing job capturing our kids personalities and always making all of us feel comfortable. We love her work so much we’ve hired her for parties and her work is just as amazing capturing candid shots as well as how she gets our family photos together. We love her so much we’ve talked of flying to Spain so we don’t miss a year of her photographing our family!

Karlye was amazing to work with, she made us feel so comfortable, and the photos she took really captured us as us. She’s incredible!

I’m Karlye’s husband, and after being by her side for so many years, I can confidently say she is one of the most talented photographers out there—truly exceptional at what she does. Her deep care and commitment to her craft inspire meticulous attention to detail, often leading her to go above and beyond to ensure her clients are happy and satisfied. Karlye has a gift for turning photography sessions into genuinely fun experiences, allowing people to feel at ease and express their true, unfiltered selves—always resulting in the best possible images. Everyone who comes to her to capture their most meaningful life moments leaves with more than they ever expected.

I cannot recommend Karlye enough! She took both my college graduation and couples photos, and I was absolutely blown away by the results. Karlye is not only incredibly talented behind the camera, but she also made the entire experience fun, comfortable, and unforgettable. Her eye for detail and ability to capture genuine moments is unmatched. I loved every single photo! I was so impressed that I’ve already booked her for my upcoming trip to Italy to shoot my master’s graduation pictures. I can’t wait to work with her again! If you’re looking for someone who’s professional, creative, and genuinely passionate about what they do, Karlye is your girl!

We had an amazing experience with Karlye the three times we have used her. She captured stunning shots of both our business and our family—with incredible artistry and a talent for making even our grumpy kids light up. Truly gifted and a joy to work with!
