We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Carolyn Strong! From the very first interaction, she made us feel completely at ease with her warm and professional demeanor.  On the day of our elopement, she was a calming presence, effortlessly guiding us through each moment with grace and expertise.
The photographs are absolutely stunning, capturing every moment with a perfect blend of artistry and authenticity. Each picture tells a story, and looking through them feels like reliving the day all over again. She truly has a gift for capturing the essence of each moment in a way that feels natural and magical.
What truly set Carolyn apart was her dedication to making our day perfect.  She went above and beyond by providing us with fantastic recommendations for locations that perfectly matched our vision.  Her local knowledge and attention to detail ensured that every shot was beautifully framed against the most stunning backdrops. 
We are incredibly grateful for her talent, kindness and incredible memories she has given us through her photography.  If you are looking for a photographer who will not only meet but exceed your expectations, look no farther than Carolyn Strong.  She is simply the best.

FIVE STARS!

 CStrong photography took pictures of my family which included a 3 year old and a 9 month old. The results are the most precious photos of those 2 boys! Carolyn was patient and creative and managed to get the boys engaged and participating. At one point, our 3 year old was holding her hand as we explored the Botanic gardens for our next backdrop! She had hot wheels, bubbles, books and the magic touch to win over the kids. I strongly recommend CStrong photography.

The most precious photos

 Carolyn and team was amazing on our wedding celebration.  She spent so much time with us going to different locations around the venue property and different poses to ensure we would love the end product.  They really went above and beyond to rally my husband's large family into photos so everyone felt included and was photographed.  (Which believe me, is no easy feat.) Both Carolyn and Jarryn were so sweet and made the process alot easier for myself and husband that don't ever get photos taken.  I highly recommend Carolyn if your planning a wedding or any celebration you want captured.

I highly recommend Carolyn!

Carolyn is a skilled professional with an astute & unique capacity for capturing the heart of a moment. Her creative eyes are drawn to color, beauty, movement and the essence of people, and this is conveyed in all of her photos. Her shots are both timeless & anchored in the special times & events she photographs.
Carolyn is kind, fun, and wonderful to work with! I am honored to have a few of her photos up on my website. She brings true partnership & care into what she does. I highly recommend CStrong photography!

In a word,
fantastic

Carolyn is a powerhouse in business. She runs a tight ship as a professional, but there is always laughter and meaningful memories created that lasts for years. My experiences with Carolyn have always been fun, interactive, and meaningful. She tailors each photo shoot to meet any need. And, she is flexible as the light changes. And it changed on us constantly, so be prepared to shift gears occasionally!

The photos are beautiful and your talent shows!

Carolyn did a wonderful work photographing our wedding.
The pictures are beautiful, interesting, carefully composed, and elegantly edited.  She was unobtrusive, but captured every moment.  Her smile and positive attitude were infectious.
Highly recommend.

Carolyn is wonderful to work with.  We were looking for a new family photographer as we had just moved to the area last year and she went above and beyond.  The entire family loved working with her and we all agreed she is our photographer from now on.  She made sure to capture the best for our family.  Highly recommend!

My daughter had the best experience with Carolyn!  She did their elopement photos at Cascade Falls in the midst of the snow! It was an adventure for the two.  She was on time, professional, very nice and worked with them.  
We really can't image anyone else doing a better job.  
She also made sure everyone's face was visible when taking pictures.
She remembered the little details we shared about what we prefer in our poses and included my daughter's dog.  I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
I am looking forward to having her take pictures of my small spa, taking pictures for my website.  I am passionate about her photography skills.  Carolyn is the Durango adventure photographer to work with!

FIVE STARS! The best!!

I was looking for a special piece of art to be made into a canvas for my home.  I have always admired Carolyn's work and looked on her website for one.  There were so many to choose from, all beautifully captured.  There just aren't enough words to possibly describe how amazing each and every photo Carolyn takes.  She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and of course, expression.  Carolyn is an amazingly talented photographer.
