About

Hi, I’m Carissa.

Bay Area–based photographer in Mountain View, CA. My bio says “I found love in the music” — I shoot the way a good set feels: catch the moment, keep the energy, never make it stiff.

I carry a Fujifilm X100VI almost everywhere I go. Now I’m pointing it at your milestones — graduations, parties, portraits, and the in-between moments that end up mattering most.
