I'm Caroline (aka Carrie), owner and photographer at Caroline Estabrooks Photography since 2013.

I'm a mom to two incredible boys, and one furbaby, my big, goofy Bernedoodle. I love dogs and welcome them at any session!

A few of my favorite things, besides photography, are reading -- especially chick lit, watching true crime TV, and enjoying any kind of sour gummy candy.

I've called East Lyme, Connecticut my home for the past 16 years. I absolutely love living in southeastern Connecticut (but I was born and raised a Jersey girl).

I first fell in love with photography my freshman year of high school, and I earned my BFA with a concentration in photography from Alfred University in 2001. I spent a number of years working in the legal field after college, but after having my first son in 2012 and becoming a stay at home mom, I decided it was the perfect time to start my own portrait photography business.

My sessions are laid-back, allowing you and your family to feel comfortable while I document your story in an authentic, timeless way. From in-home newborn sessions to outdoor family portraits by the shoreline, I use soft natural light and gentle guidance to create warm, organic images you’ll treasure for years to come.

If you’re looking for a shoreline Connecticut newborn, maternity, family or high school senior photographer who focuses on connection over perfection, I’d love to work with you!

With love,
Carrie
