art that lasts a lifetime

Carlin Christine Creative

I'm a small-town girl who became a traveling wedding photographer, artist, & beam of sunshine that's PUMPED that you're here! My biggest goal is to spread all the joy and love that I have into the hearts of others, and my art is the greatest way I've found to do that.

HEY THERE- I'm Carlin!

about ME!

my mission:

I want to capture you in a way that not only uniquely reflects your story, but also further connects you & your person along our journey together. I want to fill your heart with all the warm bubbly feelings, create memories, & above all, leave you with art that lasts a lifetime.

I started this adventure on a whim when I was 19 - I absolutely THRIVE off of spontaneous inspiration & impulsive decisions (& this time, it stuck)! Right after I started college, this craft called my name & I rerouted my whole world to be where I am today. I took every penny I had left, bought my first camera, & POURED my heart into it. I am the most determined, good-hearted gal you will ever meet, and I cannot WAIT to share some of my love with YOU!

about ME!

On top of photography, I've been an artist for as long as I could hold a crayon! As you browse my work, you'll find that I incorporate my exceptional artistic background into this business on every level possible. I have a passion for creativity & a passion for love - & OH BOY will we make magic together when those things collide!

my passions:

While I may be based in Fort Worth, TX, I'm down to go all around the world with you! I am originally from a small town in central Wisconsin, and over the past 3 years I've traveled to more states than I can count. Nothing inspires me more than exploring new places & making new friends!

Yes, I travel!

Where I've Been

Since I've started this journey as a photographer/business owner, I've travelled to over half of the states (28 to be exact)! Almost all of these have been road trips - I love long drives where I can stop for hikes along the way. If you want to meet me for a shoot while I'm on the road, check out where I'm "up next" in my instagram bio! I am such an avid adventurer, so seeing all the states is a big bucket list goal of mine. Speaking of bucket lists...

travel bucket list

Beyond just those few special places I hold near and dear to my heart, I also keep a travel bucket list of places I'm willing to discount my travel fee for simply because I've been dreaming of exploring them! Whether you want to do an adventure engagement session, a secluded elopement, or more, these are some gorgeous locations that I'm just dying to capture! I love a good reason to travel somewhere new, so be sure to reach out and mention the bucket-list discount!
