Hi! I'm Carmel

My first digital camera was a gift from my dad back in middle school, and I’ve been hooked ever since. There was something magical about capturing a moment and seeing it instantly, even if it was on a tiny, pixelated screen. That early love turned into a passion for photographing everyday magic, especially here in Sitka, where the scenery feels like a storybook.

As a first-grade teacher and photographer, I’ve found my sweet spot working with young kids. I know how to turn shyness into giggles, wiggles into joy, and ordinary moments into something unforgettable. With 12 years of local knowledge, I know where the best light hits and when the tide will make the perfect backdrop.

Whether you live here or you're just visiting, I’d love to help you slow down and savor this season with photos that feel real, playful, and beautifully you.
