As a photographer, Carlie strives to portray moments of authenticity, vulnerability, joy, and connection. She spent her childhood borrowing her mother’s camera so she could to capture the people around her. She studied photography in college at Lesley College of Art & Design and has been shooting professionally since then alongside her art museum-education career.
Carlie's photographs bring out the true feeling of an atmosphere and the people who make a community come together. She is interested in capturing local artists, makers, events, spaces, and communities. She has photographed at Boston-based organizations such as the Boston Center for the Arts, Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA/Boston), deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Bow Market, MIT List Center, The Feminine Empowerment Movement Slam, and many more.
She offers sliding scale and payment plans for those who find cost to be a barrier. She chooses to work with people, organizations, and businesses that prioritize anti-racism practices, equity work, and centering accessibility.
