Karlee Rae Photography Hi, I’m Karlee—your photog bestie with a heart for storytelling and capturing the magic of your most important moments.

Your photog bestie ❣︎
✨ Fueled by feelings, fiction & fizzy drinks
📍 Southern OR, but I’ll go anywhere
💌 For the wildly in love + the life that follows

——Now booking 2026 weddings & elopements♡︎ Ever since I was little, I’ve been drawn to the beauty of real, authentic love stories—probably because I grew up watching my parents live theirs so beautifully. Now, I get to do what I love every day, cr

eating photos that make you feel all the emotions of your favorite moments over and over again. I’m an Oregon girl, a total extrovert, and a big sap who cherishes both the big, emotional moments and the quiet, in-between ones. I find joy in the little things—concerts, cozy movie nights, Sunday brunches, and spending time with my nieces and nephews. I’ve always dreamed of traveling the world, and I hope that chasing love stories will lead me to every destination on my bucket list—and maybe even to you! At home, I’m a someday mama navigating life with PCOS, snuggling my pups, reading romance novels, and planning my next adventure. During your session, you can count on me to be your biggest cheerleader—hyping you up, cheering you on, and making sure you feel confident, celebrated, and truly seen.

Beautiful, Shantae🤍✨

I think one of the most beautiful things a woman can do is become fully herself without apologizing for it.

Not more digestible.
Not more convenient.
Just authentically, undeniably her🕊️

I’m working on becoming ✨her✨ every single day🫶🏼

You, me, your love, & a round trip flight going anywhere 🫶🏼

They chose quiet over chaos, intention over tradition, and a day that actually felt like them.

Elopements are so special to me because I get to be there for every moment, not just the big ones, but every single in-between one too.

The deep breaths, the hand squeezes, the “we really did this” kind of smiles.

It’s not about what anyone else wants. It’s about you and your love. I’m just there, quietly documenting it all as it unfolds 🤍

This session reminded me why I stopped fearing the sun🤍

I used to avoid light like this. Direct sun. Harsh shadows. No softness to hide behind.

But when I knew I wanted to photograph elopements,
I knew I had to be able to shoot anywhere, any time of day, in any weather.

So I stopped waiting for golden hour and leaned all the way in.

Now some of my favorite images are taken in direct sun and blue hour.

Golden hour isn’t required to make magic.

Just light.
And love.

Beautiful forever.

Everything moved slowly in the best way.
Talking. Laughing. Letting things unfold instead of directing every second.

As one year ends and another begins, I keep coming back to moments like this.
The ones that feel quiet, creative, and real.

This is the kind of art I want to keep creating.
