Hey there! I’m Clara!

Wife, Momma, & Photographer.
Self proclaimed titles: Ice Cream Champion, Keeper of Snacks & Stickers, & Plant Novice
I am SO glad you found me! Here’s what to know about me: I am in love with my husband Eric. He's my best friend and favorite person to spend time with. He keeps me laughing and helps me strive to be the best wife and momma I can be. Together we love our babies Maryjean (5), Walter (3), Baby Meyer (on the way) & our pup Wrigley.
Our days are full of tractors & tutus, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Being their momma is a love I never could have imagined. The phrase “the days are long but the years are short,” could not be more true. Working from home with two babies is really challenging, but with the help of an amazing support system and A LOT of Hail Marys, I wouldn’t change it. I am a homebody who loves plants, a good book, walks with my lil fam, battling my husband in Parcheesi, reading to my babies, and spending time with friends and family.
I'm a believer in God, that laughter is the best medicine, and that my mom's chocolate chip cookies could cure the world's problems. I believe in strong and holy marriages and I believe one of my purposes here on this earth is to serve others. I love to serve couples and families by cherishing the moments they share with me. I’m a love story fanatic and it is an HONOR to capture your moments. From seeing your love for the first time on your wedding day to watching your chubby baby running to you in a field years later, I am here.
This job is… well… a dream turned reality and I am so grateful to be here.
capturing moments to spend forever with you.

Fun Facts ABOUT ME:
I am a master at sneaking food into the movies. Our favorite thing to sneak in is buffalo wild wings! Let’s just say it involves me being large going in to the theatre.

I’ve been obsessed with love stories and chick flicks for as long as I can remember. Whether it was Prince Charming searching the kingdom for his one true love or Jane in '27 Dresses' falling in love with the cynical wedding writer, I would fantasize about love. While I still love a good chick flick, I’ve become more obsessed with real love stories by witnessing my parents and grandparents' love. I've grown up hearing stories about how my grandpa prayed one Sunday to meet a nice girl and then met my grandma at a dance that night (the stinkin' sweetest! ) or how my mom was pushed to ask my dad to the Sadie Hawkins Dance in High School (there is something about dances in my family!).
Relationships are hard work and they are not just fairytale stories. It’s about your struggles and triumphs and how you got to where you are today. Your proposal at your first date location, your grandmother’s ring at your wedding, your grown babies all in one picture: it’s all part of YOUR love story and that’s what I love. I love to capture it and send it back to you with a little extra sparkle so it can spend forever with you.
