The best
Cari did our family photos we had a 2 year old and newborn. The toddler was not having it and I was so worried we weren’t going to get any good pictures. Even with all meltdowns we got so many good photos and you could never tell my toddler was throwing fits the whole time. Cari is patient and really good at what she does. I highly recommend!

Family Photo Session
We recently did a family shoot with our baby boy and it honestly couldn’t have gone better. From the start, everything felt easy and relaxed which is saying a lot with a little one involved. Cari had a way of making us feel comfortable and caught the sweetest, most natural moments between the three of us. It was super fun and we all had a good time. The photos mean a lot to us! 10/10 I totally recommend.
Senior Photos
cariraquelphotography is just great, her heart to deliver a customers vision for their dream session is just perfect. She is more than just a girl with a camera. She did our family portraits and my son’s Senior portraits which were both perfect! Will definitely book another session soon.

Loved our mini session, amazing communication between us and the photographer, made us feel very comfortable and took the awkwardness out of pictures! Great turn time with the results!
Daughter's Cotillion Pictures
We had the privilege of having Cari take our daughter's pictures for her 15th birthday celebration. It being a very hectic day, I appreciated that Cari was very prepared, had all her ideas in order and was super organized at the event. She was always very kind and helpful to our guests as they took pictures, and went out of her way to capture some very special moments during the ceremony. Upon receiving our pictures we were equally pleased as all the pictures were very well edited and delivered promptly after the event. I would highly recommend Cari as a photographer.
Highly recommend!
Cari was fantastic! It was very chilly outside the day of our shoot (and I had a tiny 3 month old) and she was so accommodating with letting us take car breaks to warm up. She had great pose recommendations and made us feel at ease. Her editing style is beautiful and really made our family photos come to life!
Highly Recommended: A Talented Young Photographer to Watch
We have used Cari on multiple occasions. Working with her was an absolute pleasure. Her talent, creativity, and professionalism are truly impressive. She has a sharp eye for detail, a natural sense of composition, and a unique ability to capture genuine, meaningful moments.
What stood out most was her passion and dedication — she came prepared, made everyone feel at ease, and brought fresh ideas to the shoot while remaining open and collaborative. The final photos were stunning and far exceeded expectations, delivered promptly and beautifully edited.
I have no doubt that Cari has a bright future ahead. Highly recommended for anyone looking to work with a rising star in photography!

More than a picture ✨
Cari is seriously the sweetest person ever! She made me feel super comfortable and safe the whole time. I usually feel a little shy in front of a camera, but she made it so easy and fun.
She really knows what she’s doing and helped me pose in ways that looked natural. And the pictures came out perfect! I couldn’t believe how good they looked.
If you want someone kind, fun, and amazing at taking photos, she’s the one for sure !
