Photo by Kait De Angelis.
Howdy! I’m Cara!! Born and raised in Portland, I am a published photographer who believes in capturing the essence of real life through both digital and 35mm film. My work embraces the candid moments that tell stories of authenticity—where people, places, and experiences exist as they truly are. Inspired by the rugged spirit of the West, the freedom of motorcycles, and the effortless style of the 70s, my photography reflects a love for adventure, nostalgia, and raw beauty.
I welcome all walks of life in front of my lens. My goal is for everyone to feel comfortable, seen, and understood—whether I’m capturing your vision, event, or special moment. I want my photography to reflect your unique story and essence, making sure that each image feels personal and true to who you are.
Whether I’m shooting an intimate portrait or documenting a scene that feels straight out of a vintage dream, I focus on creating images that are not just seen, but felt. My work combines a deep appreciation for natural light and an instinct for capturing fleeting emotions.
Take a look through my lens, and I hope you'll see not just a photograph, but a moment in time, rich with stories and soul.
