At Carolyn Jorgensen photography we believe that the most meaningful memories are often the ones that unfold naturally. Our documentary-style family photography captures the authentic, unscripted moments that tell your family’s unique story—whether it’s the laughter around the dinner table, the quiet moments of connection, or the candid playfulness of everyday life.
We don’t just take pictures; we preserve the essence of your family’s love and personality. Each photograph is a testament to the bonds you share, showcasing the beauty of real life in all its raw, unpolished, and perfect imperfection.
If you're looking for timeless, emotive photos that feel as real as the moments they capture, let us tell your family's story through our photographs.
I BELIEVE IN MEMORIES AND MOMENTS AND all the tiny unnoted things that happen in between. My CLIENTS LIKE me BECAUSE of my caring AND calm presence, BUT TRUST me BECAUSE They understand the value of the images I create. I have a BFA in Photographic arts and 12+ yers of professional experience but MOST importantly I HONESTLy, FURIOUSLY LOVE what I do.
A documentary-style family photo session is all about capturing authentic moments, emotions, and interactions as they unfold naturally, rather than staging or posing. It’s a storytelling approach that aims to preserve the essence of family life in a candid, unfiltered way. Due to the nature of this style, these sessions require time and an investment. Every session includes a curated gallery of images, high resolution jepegs, and A La Carte prints available for purchase. Add on film to any package for an additional cost.
Packages begin at $550 and you can contact us for details via the handy dandy contact link you see in the top left or by clicking HERE.

Hi, I’m Carolyn, a documentary-style photographer with a passion for capturing real, unfiltered moments. My photography is all about telling stories—the big ones, the small ones, and everything in between. Whether it's a wedding, a quiet family moment, or the joy of a new adventure, I’m there to document it with an honest and heartfelt perspective.
I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), where I honed my craft and developed a deep appreciation for the art of storytelling through images. Since then, my work has been recognized with awards and published in various outlets, including Brides Magazine, Philadelphia magazine, Lehigh valley Style and others. Though I’m known for my wedding photography, my true love lies in documenting moments that matter—whether it’s capturing the tears of joy during a ceremony or the candid interactions that make people, places, and events unforgettable.
When I’m not behind a camera or chasing around my two toddlers, I'm likely reading, gardening, watching tv, or online shopping . I believe that love is the most powerful force in the world—whether it’s the love between two people, the love we have for our furry friends, or the love we feel for the places and experiences that shape us.
My approach is simple: I want to create images that feel as real and raw as the moments they capture. I want to show you the truth, the joy, the connection—and most importantly, the love. If that’s the kind of photography you’re looking for, I’d love to work with you!
