I’ve spent the last decade photographing hundreds of humans in all our many wonderful colors, shapes, sizes and ages.
I've learned how to put clients just like you at ease and guide you through a fun and customized-to-you photography experience that results in lasting photographs you love and can’t wait to share.
You want beautiful photographs that capture unforgettable moments in your life and the life of your business but you feel nervous about having your picture taken and the whole photography process seems like…a lot.
I get it. I used to feel so much uncertainty about having my pictures taken professionally as well. Never sure what to expect from it all.

A BIT ABOUT
CARRIE MINNS
Carrie Minns is a photographer and writer based in Portland, Oregon.
There has never been a time in Carrie’s life, spent under rainy Northwest skies, when she wasn’t creating—art, music, food, words, photographs.
She draws heavily on that life to put her clients at ease and create photographs that capture the essence and emotion of who they are more than they can see it for themselves.
Beautiful and lasting images they love, are proud of, and can’t wait to share. Ensuring the unforgettable isn’t forgotten.
Or in the case of your business, what you want your customers to remember. Something more than hundreds of digital files forgotten on a hard drive or lost to an algorithm. Something that lasts.
My goal is to help you do just that.
I encourage you to book a photo shoot with me, Carrie Minns, before too much more time passes by.
Together we’ll create beautiful and lasting photographs ensuring the unforgettable in isn’t forgotten.
Time goes by quickly. I believe it’s important to slow down and capture through meaningful photography what you want to remember in your life.

The Mingling of Food, Family and Life
In 2018, I wrote, photographed and published a book featuring stories and recipes from my life.
La Pomme de Portland—part memoir/part cookbook—is a gentle reminder to gather your loved ones, share food and stories, and rediscover the art of connecting with one another around the kitchen table.
Carrie Minns believes all of us on this tiny planet want the same things from life—to be nourished, to know love, to feel that our lives matter. She hopes that when you read her stories and make her recipes you will be inspired to gather those you love around your own table.
Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever…it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.
