"If you're looking for an amazing experience with a photographer, I highly recommend Carly! My husband and I were looking to book a photoshoot for our anniversary when I stumbled upon Carly's Instagram page. Immediately, we were both drawn to the style and feel of her photos. From the beginning of the process, Carly was responsive, easy to schedule/coordinate with, and she even provided us with helpful tips on what to wear, parking information, and recommendations for makeup artists in Sedona. Upon meeting Carly for our shoot, my husband and I both felt like we were hanging out with an old friend. She made both of us feel very comfortable about being in front of a camera (we both struggle with feeling "awkward" in front of a camera). She was helpful in keeping my hair from getting in my face (it was quite windy haha) and she paid close attention to small details, which I really appreciate. Carly delivered our pictures in the timeframe that she said she would and we couldn't be happier! If I do another photoshoot in the Phoenix/greater area, I will DEFINITELY book Carly again! Thank you for the beautiful memories and we can't wait to hang them up in our home"

"Carly has been our go-to photographer for years and will always be my first recommendation to family and friends. Carly took my vision for our family pictures and made it even better than I could’ve imagined. I have been SO pleased with every gallery we’ve received back. She’s the easiest to work with and will make you feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera. Her editing style is perfection and gives a warm and cozy vibe while the photos still look natural. Thanks to Carly, I have so many pictures that I know I will look back on in 30 years and love just as much as the first time I saw them! Can’t wait to book her again next year!"

"I truly can not say enough wonderful things about working with Carly! She has such talent and vision and is such a joy. We got the opportunity to have her take pictures twice, once in Horseshoe Bend (which I HIGHLY recommend taking her up on) and in Sedona. I’ve used around 6 professional photographers now for different shoots with my husband and she is by far my favorite. The photos were sharp, edited beautifully, great composition, all of it. The experience was so fun and the photos are a treasure."

"Not only has Carly Rae's Photography followed me behind a camera lens for multiple life events now, she’s made me feel comfortable doing it. I never doubt how my pictures will turn out because she knows her angles and lighting; she’s willing to try my new ideas and you aren’t stuck on one expertise. I’ve been honored enough to have her walk through graduation, engagement, babies, and a wedding with me & would choose her all over again. Highly recommended!"

"Carly has been our photographer for all our major life events! From our wedding, to first family pictures, first birthdays, and updated family pictures! She is truly the sweetest and it has been so fun to watch her progress in her craft through our photos over the years. She is so professional & you truly feel like her only client during the sessions. She makes sure you get any photos you wanted, and always delivers above and beyond in the galleries. So thankful to have all these memories “frozen in time” from her—my most prized possessions."

"Carly is SO wonderful to work with!! We hired her for our engagement/wedding and our engagement pictures were a DREAM. My fiancé and I were able to relax and have fun with the session while Carly did the hard work behind the camera, she prompted ALL of our poses so we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Lovely lady, super fun to be around, great energy! Her editing style is beautiful and meshed perfectly with the vibe we were going for. 10/10!!"
