Trusted Newborn & Family Photographer in Godfrey, IL
As the founder of Carrie Carpunky Photography, I established this studio in 2010 with a deep passion for capturing life's most precious moments. Over the past decade, what began as a small home studio has evolved into a thriving business housed in a dedicated space in Godfrey, Illinois. My journey as a mother fueled my desire to preserve family milestones through photography, and I take immense pride in creating personalized sessions that reflect each client's unique story. I prioritize newborn safety above all else, having completed extensive training to ensure every session is conducted with the utmost care. Beyond my work with families, I mentor aspiring photographers, sharing my expertise in newborn photography through workshops and one-on-one guidance.Our studio offers a comprehensive range of services including newborn, maternity, family, and cake smash photography, with access to an extensive collection of props and styling options.
