About Carrie...
Sports Mom and Photographer
A brief history
Carrie has been taking photos since high school when she took a photography class. She played sports (soccer, basketball and softball) throughout Elementary, Middle and High School and has been in the gym or on a field since she was born with two parents that were coaches. She understands sports and photography. She also understands what it is like to be a parent who wants great photos and also be in the moment cheering or holding your breath.

My approach
At Candid Lens, I believe the best sports photos don't just freeze time- they capture emotion, energy and the untold story behind the play. I believe the true spirit of sports goes beyond the scoreboard. It's in the handshake after the game, the high-five for the teammate, the helping hand to a player on the ground. I'm proud to capture not only the big plays and the winning moments- but also the respect, teamwork and the heart that defines what youth sports are all about. Because sometimes, the most powerful photos are not about the goal- they're about the kindness, leadership, and growth that happen in between.
My approach is all about real moments. I stay focused on the grit, determination and joy that is youth sports- not just the big plays, but the little glances, team huddles, sideline celebrations and the quiet focus before the action. These are the moments that define the heart of your player. No staged shots, not forced poses. Just candid, powerful moments- as real as the athletes themselves.
Kind words from
Molly's Mom
Candid Lens has been easy and great to work with. The photos have been of great quality and a great price as well. It was pretty much next day delivery of photos which is great when you're trying to relive those epic moments when your athlete has made a great play. You can pull it up and go look remember this moment when you did this and remind them when they're having a moment of doubt.
