When most people had sports practice or band in high school, I was taking photography class and spending my free time obsessing over editing techniques on the computer. My most prized possession was my camera, and I begged friends to let me take their pictures, along with capturing moody shots of trees + flowers (naturally).
Getting my art degree in college expanded my love of composition, knowledge of color theory and software skills to maximize photos.
But I really fell deep in love with capturing moments after becoming a mother. After hiring photographers to make sure each milestone was documented for our family, I found it bringing me so much joy I wanted to share with others. So I took courses from some of the best and am happy to help you capture memories today!
I'm Hope
families whose kiddos are kind and creative and loud and messy. Whose Mamas sometimes forget to take time for themselves, and whose Dad's may or may not love participating in pictures, but showed up anyway.
I love shooting families that don't look 'traditional', or are starting a new chapter.
I'm never above bribing kiddos with snacks for great smiles and may or may not pull out potty humor to get a good shot. I love to make shoots fast and fun to capture everyone at their best.
I can't wait to meet you!
I Love Photographing

I cannot say enough good things about Hope and her work. Our family photos turned out amazing!! She suggested a beautiful location at sunset and worked her magic. She also provided us with great information leading up to the shoot on what to wear and how to look our best, even my toddler smiled the whole time. She just pays attention to all the little details and goes above and beyond. We had a great time and can’t wait to do another session with her for the holiday.

Such a great experience having our family photos taken with Hope! She’s so kind and easy going and made photos with our feisty toddler a breeze. Really great communicating about when we could expect our gallery and even from just a 30 minute session we have so many great photos to choose from. Would love to work with Hope again in the future

Our family had the best experience with Hope Clark Photography! Our pictures are not only beautiful, but captured all of our personalities so well. She was so good with all 3 of our kids and worked so quickly so that they didn’t meltdown before we were done. I wanted an outdoor spot and she picked the perfect location, capturing exactly what my vision was. Hope is so so kind, and talented, I’m already looking forward to our next session with her!

My family can be pretty awkward in front of a camera but Hope was so good at making us feel comfortable and relaxed! I never felt rushed either. She came prepared with snacks for the kids and gave all of us great directions. We’re in love with our sweet photos and so glad we went with Hope!!

Hope was such a pleasure and joy to work with!! She made us feel comfortable when being in front of the camera isn't natural for my husband or I! She captured and got great photos!! She gave her 110% to get our little one to smile and in between photos and walking to different spots was able to converse with us! Can't wait to get these hung up around our house. We have already gotten so many comments on them from the ones we've shared. I can't recommend her enough if you want quality photos that you will love and feel confident in!!

Cannot recommend Hope enough! She’s not only a talented photographer, but an amazing human. She was great with my young kids and made it fun for them. I’m very thankful for the sweet and playful moments she captured.
