About Carianne
My Personality
My Philosophy
I live by the Golden Rule...treat my clients how I want to be treated. I give them an experience they won’t forget, exactly the way I would want. My beliefs define my values and guide my actions, which makes working with me a unique and special experience. I build quality relationships by putting the needs of those I serve at the heart of every decision I make and action I take.
This means I:
* Take time to listen and understand your needs and wants.
* Actively discover your individual story.
* Find ways to make you feel valued.
* Seek to build lasting relationships.
* Provide a personal touch.
The connection and experiences that I've created with my Stargazer Couples lasts far beyond the wedding day, and I believe that’s exactly how it should be! Being a Stargazer Couple isn’t your typical photography experience, it’s so much more!
I'm excited to share a little about my life and what it's like to work with me! Scroll down to get all the tea!
If you were to ask my best friends to describe me they would say I am a cross between Tigger and the Energizer Bunny, a ball of energy always on the go, which is what makes me your best hype girl! My years in education have made me flexible and adaptable to any change. I am extremely organized and have a keen eye for detail (I should have been a detective). I still have a great "teacher's voice" which comes in handy when I have to manage family portraits and large group photos.

MY WHY |
IT’S MORE THAN JUST A JOB
MARRIAGE
CHILDREN
SERVICE
I believe marriage and deep relationships are some of life's greatest gifts! I know that my role in my Stargazer Couple's lives is not only to deliver a beautiful final gallery but to be a support and encouragement for their new marriage!
My children mean everything to me and I want them to see, through my example, that it is never too late to chase their dreams, find their purpose, or fulfill a passion. I want them to understand how to use their talents for meaningful purpose!
My spiritual gift is serving. I have always enjoyed doing things to help others, and I love serving my Stargazer Couples and making them feel valued and loved. Forming a relationship with them is more important than a transaction!

About Carianne
Associate Photographer
I'm your problem solver, hype girl, boutonniere pinner, and bonus bridesmaid. My clients love my honesty and transparency. One thing they always say is that I made them feel comfortable and at ease. I spend my days editing your photos with a glass of wine in hand and my dog at my feet.
Patrick was my husband's videography student several years ago. He was originally hired as our videographer but, as time went on, he started taking more interest in photography and decided he liked that more. He has been my only associate photographer for a few years now and it's been the best decision we both made!
