Carrie Hanrahan Photography

Carrie Hanrahan Photography Carrie Hanrahan is a United States based travel and landscape photographer. Hi there, I'm Carrie. Check back often as I update my photos frequently.

I am a full-time travel and nature photographer based in South Carolina. I explore to find the most incredibly visual places in the world, including National Parks, majestic mountains, serene oceans, and every bit of beauty in-between so that you can bring these images to your home. When I was young my family traveled everywhere by car and my camera captured all the amazing visual memories the lan

dscape created. Now I have continued that childhood passion to create stories of our world through the photographs I take as an adventurer, National Park enthusiast, and a lover of all things outdoors. I think that life should be full of experiences and live by the motto, "Not All Who Wander Are Lost". I believe that wandering is a part of the destination because without it we would miss out on some of the most beautiful things in the world. Hopefully, you find something that inspires you on your visit today. We live in an amazing world and I hope that my pictures make you want to go and explore.

This is one of my favorite parts of what I do — helping a business create the exact feeling and mood they want their customers to experience. The right image doesn’t just decorate a space, it changes how it feels to be there.

Creating work like this is why I shoot photography in the first place. I love capturing places that made me feel something and then helping bring that same feeling into someone else’s space.

It’s such a great feeling when my images find a home. Thanks

Standing tall above the walls of Castillo San Felipe del Morro, the lighthouse reaches toward the sky, guarding a coastline full of history and stories. Being in Puerto Rico, I wanted to capture not just the view, but the feeling of standing in this timeless place.

There was so much unfolding in this single moment as I stood along the coast — the force of the waves, the restless motion of the water, and a waterfall briefly taking shape through the rock. Power and softness, chaos and calm, all layered together by the ocean as I captured what felt like a fleeting conversation between land and sea. I love to capture moments like these to share.

From the stone walls of Castillo San Cristóbal to the high-rises of San Juan, this view felt like traveling through centuries in a single glance.

I love how each layer tells part of Puerto Rico’s story, showing the evolution of an island rich with history, resilience, and soul and the life that continues to shape the island.

I felt the earth move as the wave slammed into the rock, its force exploding upward in a rush of water and sound. In that split second, everything felt alive. I pressed the shutter as the wave collided with the rock, sending layered color,spray, and flowing water over the dark stone all at once. Power and grace met as the water surged and softened in the same instant.

Just added to Fine Art America.

Puerto Rico was so much more than I expected. Looking out through this opening at Castillo San Cristobal, I could feel the story being told. With so much history around me and the stunning coastline before me, I picked up my camera because I wanted to hold onto that feeling and share it the only way I know how.

Sometimes the best photos aren’t planned at all. Just a quiet moment, a boat rail, and a bird doing its best balancing act.

I love being ready for these little, unexpected encounters—quirky reminders that nature always has a sense of humor if you’re paying attention.

What a year 2025 has been. ✨

So many places, so many moments, and so many photo opportunities! I’m incredibly grateful for everywhere this year took me and for all the scenes I got to capture along the way.

Here are a few of my favorites from the year — and I can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store. 📸

Nature does the hard part — I just show up and take the photo. This snowy design on the observatory glass felt like a little piece of art waiting to be captured.

One quiet snowfall, one wandering moose, one perfect moment. Glad I didn’t miss it!

Still looking for that Christmas gift that really feels personal?

This fall image is one of my favorites—full of color, peaceful, and the kind of scene people stop and stare at for a moment. It brings a little calm and a little magic into any space, and I love hearing how much people enjoy having it on their walls.

If you’re shopping for someone who loves nature, quiet moments, or cozy colors, this might be the one.

Autumn’s Reflection

Nature’s palette blurs the line between reality and abstract. I came across a quiet pond that mirrored the fiery hues of fall, where rippling waters turned the red and gold leaves into a living painting. Sometimes I find the most beautiful moments when I change my point of view!
