Cara Olsen Photography combines my two passions- children, and photography. I feel blessed to be able use my career as an elementary teacher and my passion for photography to bring a unique experience to each client. My approach to photography is relaxed, fun, and in the moment. I use natural light and shoot primarily on location. Your home, a local park, a neighborhood landmark….all make wonderful settings for your shoot. Where ever you are most comfortable- so your true selves can shine for the camera.
My focus involves your children just being kids- playing, running, jumping, being still…. I encourage children to be themselves, whether serious or silly, loud or quiet, capturing your children in the moment, as well as encouraging them with some gentle posing. I want your custom portraiture experience to be an easy, fun, and and special experience for you and yours.
I have been taking photographs for most of my life, and my favorite images have always been those that capture the personality of those I love. It’s these life moments, these small nuances, that are the essence of who they really are- and those photographs, that speak to my heart. Real life. Not just what they look like, but who they are. That is the essence of what I aim to capture in my work, and of your family.

I just wanted to say how amazing you are, as a friend and at capturing these priceless memories for families just like mine and my bff, but because of you my nephews, her family and me, wouldn’t have the priceless photos that you took. Thank you for following your dream and passion….and for blessing me with your friendship…I’m forever indebted to you..XOXO
