Carlin Ma Photography
I love life - people, nature, the laughter, the tears, and all between. That is why I photograph - to capture and root fleeting moments, so they may blossom into our future, bringing comfort, love, and hope with every visitation. Every moment is a gift of Life, so photography is a gift of eternal moments.

Everybody has an indescribable, inner beauty. In our photoshoots together, it's about highlighting your internal light, creating soulful images and a fun experience together. Formally, I am trained as a professional pianist, where I developed a deep connection with people, the environment, and myself.
Services
A captivating headshot will represent your true essence, so the most important thing is just to be YOU. Where/when do you feel most energized and joyful, and what are some contextual characteristics?. Take some time to answer these questions specifically and accurately, and you will walk into the headshot session with more confidence.

Carlin is an amazing photographer and a true professional - I went through many rounds of small nitpicking with my photos and she never once complained. It was a pleasure to work with her; she's extremely detail-oriented and organized. Would highly recommend!

Carlin is one of the best photographers to work with. She takes the time to get to know who your authentic self is, and represent that in the shots that she produces. If you're looking for someone who values not only you, but your time and the things that are important to you, get your photos taken by Carlin.

We had such a great experience with Carlin! She did our engagement photos and wedding photos, worked with us to find a package and price that would work for us, and was such a joy to work with. Competent, kind, and amazing quality.

Carlin is one of the most incredible human beings and professionals I have ever met. I have grown to adore her, and become her friend. As a photographer she is an artist and anyone working with her is lucky. She magically gets your vision and represents you at your finest.

Carlin was so fun to work with! She made my first photoshoot such a comfortable experience and was extremely willing to accommodate all of my needs. She was super flexible and helped me get photos I was happy with. I highly recommend her for anyone wishing for great photos, but especially for musicians as she is very experienced with the music world!

Carlin is an artist. As a musician and photographer, she understands what a musician hopes to convey through their promotional photos. She's very perceptive of different personalities and tastes, and has a great eye for angles and backgrounds. I'm so happy with my photos. Carlin shot my last photos 10 years ago, and when I decided to update them, I didn't even think about asking someone else.

I'm going to echo what everyone else here has already said: Carlin is a real master of her craft. I've worked with a lot of photographers over the years, and no one knows how to get an emotion out of someone quite like Carlin does. As a musician, she's especially good at relating with her musical clients, but I'm positive Carlin could work with anyone and get fantastic results. Highly recommend!!

Carlin is a fabulous photographer. She has been the designated photographer for my daughter and her piano trio for years and we are beyond thrilled with the results. Carlin is imaginative, resourceful, personable and fun. She is a true artist. Until the next photo shoot, thanks Carlin!
