More than just photography

 

Not only do I help capture your unique space with professional photography, but I'm here to help market it, too! Short-form video is one of the best ways to showcase your destination to new audience, and help them imagine their potential experience at your property. That's why my packages include not just professional photography, but edited short-form video and b-roll footage as well! View my social media portfolio below.

Behind the lens

Let's get to know each other
A black and white series showing a person resting on a beach with a dreamy, contemplative mood.

Hi there! I’m Karlie, a lifestyle hospitality photographer capturing what it actually feels like to experience your Airbnb, inn, or travel destination. Whether you're running a cozy forest cabin, historic bed & breakfast, or luxury resort, my photos are designed to help potential guests picture themselves already relaxing in your space. And if we're lucky, they'll want to come see it for themselves.

The difference a story can make

Showcase an experience, not just a property

While of course each of my galleries include the classic "real estate" shots to show off the space, the real magic lies in capturing moments that make guests fall in love. That’s where storytelling lifestyle imagery comes in: showing future guests exactly what their stay can look like at your property. From morning coffee on the porch to roasting marshmallows around the fire pit!

Testimonials

Aimee | Rewild Rentals

"From the initial planning stages through the final delivery, Karlie was professional, creative, and incredibly easy to work with. You had a great eye for capturing the warmth and natural beauty of our cabins and surrounding properties. You captured the personality of each space and made it feel inviting and lived in- exactly the essence we hoped to capture! We highly recommend Karlie to anyone looking to elevate their brand with authentic lifestyle photography."

Testimonials

Jami | EcoLuxe Vacations

"We have used several different photographers to capture our distinctive vacation rentals over the last few years. We have learned to be selective, as some just take photos, and some are able to capture the true ambiance of each cabin and the experience of staying in one. Karlie has earned herself a position on our very short list of prefered photographers not just because she falls clearly into that category, but because she is a great communicator and overall a really cool person. If you want great photos, a wonderful human, and timely deliverables, I highly recommend Karlie."

Whitney | The Barton Farmhouse

"We had a wonderful experience working with Karlie. She captured the essence of our home perfectly and turned around the photos really quickly. We’re already excited to work with her again. I loved the way she incorporated life into the photos and still made the house and the rooms feel like the star or the show. The photos do a great job of giving a whimsical perspective that feels like you’re actually staying at our house. It’s worth every penny."
