We love taking portraits! When we make a portrait, it's a chance to highlight the subject's uniqueness that makes them who they are.

Whether you're looking for engagement photos or celebrating 25 years of marriage there is always an excuse to make photographs with your special someone. We especially enjoy couples sessions because the love they share exudes out of the photos.

Capturing kids is a challenging but rewarding feat. Their energy is something to be admired and as they say, they grow up way too fast. When we photograph kids, we try to capture their personality in the frame. To do this requires much patience but we have fun doing it!

A maternity session is a chance to celebrate life and document the beginning of a lifelong journey.

Street photography really is a huge artistic outlet for us. There is nothing posed or scripted when shooting in the streets; instead it requires patient observation and deliberate timing. It's about finding the amazing uniqueness of life in seemingly everyday routine. 

The following quote best describes what we at Carpe Lucem strive for with our photography:

"There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The Moment! Once you miss it, it is gone for forever."
