HeY, I'M CIARA!
... and my middle name is Camille and I'm named after my great-grandmother Camilla! I never met her, but from the stories I’ve heard, she was an incredible woman, full of passion and love for the things she cared about. I feel that same passion within myself because I truly pour love, heart, and intention into everything I do, and I love how that shows up beautifully through my lens!
I’m 30 years old, based in Pittsburgh and grew up in the South Hills. I love exploring this city and discovering new locations for shoots - honestly, anywhere with great lighting and good vibes is perfect in my book! I’m always up for an adventure, so if you have any ideas or places in mind for your session, I’d love to hear them and make it a fun experience together :)
In May 2026, I finally took the leap and turned my biggest dream into my full-time reality by pursuing photography full time. Before that, I spent 11 years working as a waitress and bartender, a job that introduced me to people from all walks of life and taught me so much about creating genuine connections. Making people feel welcome, comfortable, and seen became second nature to me, and that's something I now bring into every single photoshoot. I've loved photography since I was a little girl, and I'm quite literally the person who's always reaching for my camera or phone to capture the little moments, the big milestones, and everything in between. Being able to turn that lifelong passion into my career is something I'll never take for granted.
I dream of photographing elopements one day because I love to travel and tell love stories in new places so if your love story involves adventure, new scenery, and intention, I’d love to be part of it and I will meet you anywhere your love takes me!
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me watching re-runs of New Girl, looking up DIY projects for my house, jamming to T-Swift, cheering on the Steelers (insert cry face here), or family. I just got married to the love of my life in May of 2026 and we share our home with our dog Luna and our three cats, Kane, Kosmo & Nova!
I’m super laid-back so even if you don’t love any of these things, I’m always happy to chat about anything.
I can’t wait to meet you, have some laughs,
and make some memories together
:)
meet my HUSBAND!
my best friend.
A huge part of my journey started with the person who knows me best - My husband, Victor. His encouragement is one of the biggest reasons I picked up my camera again. Victor saw my heart, knew my passion, and reminded me that the things we love are worth chasing. He is supportive, kind, thoughtful, compassionate, and all around just the nicest, most sweetest man I have ever met. His love and support gave me the courage to turn a 15 year dream into a reality. He taught me what real, deep, unwavering love feels like and it's the most beautiful thing I've ever known. The way he believes in me, encourages me, and loves me through everything has inspired me to start capturing that same love for others. It's a kind of beauty that words can't hold, so I let my camera speak for me. I capture love because I know how sacred it is. That's why I started this: to honor love stories like yours, with all the beauty, depth and honesty that they deserve.
