Learn More About Carolyn
Hi, I’m Carolyn, the face behind Belovedjpeg — a photographer devoted to capturing love in its truest form.
I believe the most meaningful moments are often the quiet ones: a hand reaching for another, sunlight spilling across a veil, the laughter that softens into tears.
My art is rooted in faith and nostalgia — inspired by the beauty of film, the gentleness of light, and the sacred truth that every person is deeply, irrevocably beloved.
I photograph with intention, creating images that feel like memory — timeless, elegant, and full of heart. Whether in Michigan or halfway across the world, my hope is simple:
that when you see your photos, you’ll remember how deeply you were known and loved in that moment.
xx Carolyn

We are so incredibly lucky we found Carolyn through a friend to do our wedding photos! While planning a wedding can be a daunting and time consuming experience, Carolyn made the whole planning process a million times better and easier!
She handles her business with professionalism, ensuring all considerations of the day are well thought out, but most importantly she is an overall genuine person you want to be around which we believe is so important in a vendor & photographer! She made all our family, bridal party, and guests feel welcomed and comfortable for photos, but also adhered to our schedule and plan that was discussed at length leading up to the wedding.
Lastly, her talent is outstanding from both her creative eye of photos, to her editing style. She truly captured our day and the emotions beautifully and made our wedding gallery unique to us! She took our ideas and made it our own which feels so special! We are so blessed to have such beautiful moments captured and will treasure the photos and Super 8 film for life!
Sabin Wedding
Choosing Carolyn to photograph our wedding was the best decision I made—second only to marrying my husband. I’ve known Carolyn since elementary school, so having her by our side all day made everything even more meaningful. She brought so much joy, laughter, and calm to our day, and captured moments we will treasure for a lifetime.
Carolyn is incredibly talented, kind, hilarious, and genuinely one of the most joy-filled people you’ll ever meet. Our guests kept telling us how amazing she was—whether it was effortlessly organizing big family photos or giving small but impactful direction to make each shot perfect. She was truly our biggest hype woman and made us feel so at ease in front of the camera.
If you're thinking about booking Belovedjpeg, stop thinking and just do it. You will be so glad you did. Carolyn is everything you could hope for in a photographer and more.

"We cannot say enough good things about Carolyn! Carolyn is such a light and can bring out a smile in anyone. Not only can she do that, she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. It was not just my husband and I that felt this, but our extended family as well! Carolyn was open to all of our ideas and has such a creative eye! She cared about our vision and how we wanted our wedding day to be captured. Carolyn truly made our Pinterest inspo board come to life!"

"Where do I even begin? Carolyn is absolutely incredible. Being in front of a camera can sometimes feel awkward or intimidating, but not with Carolyn. From the second we met her, we felt completely relaxed, comfortable, and so excited to have our photos taken. Not only was her presence a gift in itself, but her incredible talent blew us away. Our wedding photos are something we will cherish forever and I’m so thankful we found someone so talented and just overall amazing. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose her to capture our big day and we would do it all again as she’s worth every penny! There is truly no one like her. Forever grateful for you Carolyn<3

A Peek At My Work
Your wedding is not just a photo opportunity, it's about the tender moments scattered throughout the day; your best friends praying over you before you walk down the aisle, the first touch you have with your soon to be husband,
seeing your mom cry as you walk down the aisle, your guests geeking about you & your husband during your first dance, all the way to you dancing with all of your favorite people! These are the moments preserved for years to come.
