Living overseas awakened a wanderlust in me that I didn't know existed. Nothing makes me happier than being with my family, camera in hand, seeing someplace new.

I have two! Skye is my sheltie and is the sweetest girl on the planet. Then I have a mini Aussie named Buckley and he is crazy. But super cute.

There's no one else I'd rather spend time with than my hubby and kids! I always wanted to be a wife and mom- they're my dream come true.

Hey, there, Mama! I am SO happy you are here. I love helping expecting mothers and their families to find beauty in simplicity through portraiture! As a mama to 2 kiddos, I understand how fleeting these years we have with our children are. These sweet memories go by SO fast. Pictures we what we have left to remember all their little details. This is why I cherish being a family photographer - to be able to freeze these moments in time of your little ones in a minimal, natural and beautiful way (without the fluff)!
Hi, I'm Candace!
a few of my favorite things
While I enjoy photographing a variety of subjects and genres, I specifically love my maternity and newborn clients. Being a mother myself, I remember the absolute joy I experienced as I was growing a new life inside me, and I consider it an honor to capture the same incredible moment in my client's journeys into motherhood. And not just that one moment- but many after as well! New babies, first birthdays, family portraits- so many wonderful moments to capture!
Looking back, I have loved photography as long as I can remember. As a young girl, I enjoyed roaming my parent's North Carolina property and taking pictures of the natural beauty around me. This love followed me into adulthood as I traveled the world as a military spouse. Once my family and I put down roots in Alabama, my love for capturing the beauty around me shifted and I began to focus on portrait photography. And thus, Clo Photography was born!

Meet the Team
Carly
lead makeup artist
Carly Jordan is a freelance makeup artist with 15 years in the beauty industry. She
first came into skincare and makeup to promote a specific line of products that helped her acne issues while teaching women how to care for themselves and apply makeup for their daily needs. After many years of hearing her clients say, “Oh, but could you just help me put the makeup on for this special occasion?” She decided the best way to do both was to add a business for makeup artist services.
She has a reputation for enhancing natural beauty, allowing the makeup to showcase a client’s favorite features without being washed out on camera. Although you can also find her teaching dark smokey eyes, learning makeup prosthetics for local video shoots and delivering excellence on all trendy requests for prom season.
When Carly isn’t working she’s often traveling with her husband, spending time doing art projects with her daughter or hiking with friends.
Hi there, I’m Amanda! My family just relocated to Alabama from good ole Nebraska and are loving it here.
Although we have been very surprised at how much it rains.
I am a stay-at-home mama to three kiddos, ages 3 and under. We spend most of our time outdoors, as long as it’s over fifty degrees, and cruising the neighborhood in the power wheels. I am also a full-time student pursuing nursing with hopes of getting into the aesthetic side of it!
I have been in the bridal industry since 2015, starting with bridal hair just out of cosmetology school. I added airbrush makeup to my services back in 2017 and haven’t looked back. Before moving to Alabama. I averaged 50 weddings a year and thrived off being a part of everyone’s big day! Whether we’re working towards headshots, engagement photos, or any other photography session- I enjoy helping relieve some of the stress around hair and makeup, while helping you feel confident in your own skin!

Aaron
Art Installation Specialist
Aaron Ollis works in cybersecurity by day and is a Jeep enthusiast by night. Well, let's be honest...he's probably thinking about Jeeps at work, too!
He is a devoted husband and father to two kids- one teen and another pre-teen. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated. Just kidding- they're pretty great!
In his spare time, he loves working on his Jeep, camping with the family, or taking road trips. He enjoys visiting state and national parks and hopes to make it out west sometime soon.
Aaron also has a love for maps, specifically antique maps. If you ever visit his home, take a look at his collection. It was framing his antique maps and decorating his home with them that led to his interest in wall art.
