Carlykins Photo • Pacific Northwest

Hey there, I'm Carly!

Wedding, portrait, and brand photographer serving Salem, Portland, and Oregon Wine Country and always down to travel. 🚗 ✈️

I document people as they actually are: connected, expressive, a little imperfect, and completely themselves.

My approach is relaxed but intentional. I keep things low-stress, organized, and moving smoothly without making it feel overly posed or rigid. I’ll hype you up when you need it, step back when the moment speaks for itself, and step in when it’s time to gather the group and keep things on track.

I’ve photographed over 150 weddings since 2013, along with countless engagements, seniors, families, and growing brands. I care about the in-between moments just as much as the big ones — the subtle glances, the layered details, the real laughter.

Based in Salem, Oregon (formerly Portland), I regularly photograph weddings and portraits throughout: Portland, Salem, Willamette Valley, Oregon Wine Country, The Oregon Coast and Washington.

All love is welcome here. I proudly support and celebrate LGBTQ+ couples and families. Your story deserves to be documented exactly as it is. <3

If you’re looking for photography that feels natural, elevated, and genuinely supportive, then you’re in the right place. Let’s create something that lasts.
