Behind the Lens

ABOUT

My greatest joy is capturing images of people that make them say "wow, I look good". (Because you do!)

Your biggest cheerleader, total Enneagram 3, chasing "beach" as a career, traveller, and lover of the soft, glowing colors brought to life through photography. 

I'm carley

about

Hi, I’m Carley — the photographer behind Carley Ann Photography. I’m a published artist, loyal friend, fashion lover, and someone who values both elegance and authenticity in everything I do.

My photography journey began with families and children, where I learned to embrace life’s spontaneity and find beauty in honest, unscripted moments. That experience shaped the way I approach every wedding — with heart, intention, and a deep appreciation for stories that feel true to the people living them.

Now, I specialize in timeless, personal, and intrinsic photography that reflects you. My work is a blend of candid, joy-filled moments and stunning, editorial-inspired portraits — always with a calm, organized presence and a deep desire to make you feel beautiful, important, seen, and truly loved.

Clients often describe me as calm, organized, encouraging, and fully invested in their experience. Whether I’m guiding you through a wedding timeline or helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera, my goal is simple: to capture the kind of moments you’ll want to relive again and again — the joyful, the quiet, and everything in between.

Outside of photography, I’m a lifelong equestrian, travel enthusiast, and a self-proclaimed interior decorator. I bring all of that passion and intentionality into my work — whether I’m photographing a chic Dallas wedding, an intimate portrait session, or a love story somewhere across the world.

If you’re looking for a photographer who brings both artistry and heart to the table — someone who captures more than just the moment — I’d be honored to tell your story.

With love,
Carley

On a personal note...

Literally anything Mexican + a margarita. (Cocktail hour? Extra lime, no salt please).

FOOD

I love kiddos. In fact, that is really where my passion for photography started! I worked at a camp as a photographer one summer. I can't wait to start my own family!

guilty pleasures

It's too hard to choose just one favorite... I recently lived in Switzerland for four months so it holds a special place in my heart! I also love California... and my home state, Texas.
