Carlin Creative is a freelance commercial and editorial photographer, videographer, and cookbook author with nearly ten years of experience. While food photography is her specialty, she is also passionate about lifestyle, product, and fashion photography.

She regularly executes photo shoots from conceptualization and art direction to set styling and final imagery. This dedication to the whole process has led to many exciting clients including Reader’s Digest, Maurice’s, and Martha Stewart, where her work has been published nationally. 

Carlin Creative operates out of her photography studio, a 3,500 sq. ft. historic building in charming Auburndale, WI, perfectly situated between the Midwestern hubs of Chicago and Minneapolis. The studio is fully equipped for hosting clients and completing work remotely. 

Carlin Creative works primarily by capturing the client’s envisioned hero image first, and then quickly expounds on it through exploration of light and perspective. The result is a full library of images in beautiful vignettes, perfect for telling the story of a brand in many avenues, especially the ever-important world of social media.
