Carina Dunmore Photography-About Me

I grew up in a small town in Germany with only 1,503 people. Life felt simple, close-knit, and deeply connected. That sense of connection still shapes everything I do today, especially behind the camera.

Before photography, I spent over a decade working as a Behavior Analyst with children with special needs. That experience gave me a deep understanding of patience, emotion, and how to meet people exactly where they are which is something that naturally carries into my work with families and little ones.

I’m a mom of to four of the most wonderful kids.  Tamia (16), Quinton (13), Layla (10), and our youngest, Charlie (1). My world revolves around kids, and it shows. I know how fleeting these seasons are, how quickly they change, and how meaningful it is to hold onto the little moments in between.

I’m the kind of person who will do just about anything to get a genuine smile out of a baby.  Yes, I’m also the one tearing up behind the camera during the tender moments. Real emotion matters to me. The in-between glances, the laughter, the chaos, and the connection.  That’s what I’m always looking to capture.

When I’m not photographing families, I’m spending time with my own.  We are constantly running from drama rehearsals to sports practices and games, cheering on my kids from the sidelines while my husband coaches. Life is full, a little chaotic, and constantly on the move, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

At the heart of it all, I believe photography should feel natural, relaxed, and true to you.  Those are truly the moments that matter most. I’d truly love to connect with you and document this season of your life in a way you’ll treasure for years to come.
