About Cedar + Bloom Creative Co.
Carli
Hi, I’m Carli! I’m the owner and lead photographer behind Cedar + Bloom, based in Washington, Iowa. I’m also a wife, mom of four, and Facebook marketplace addict. I’ve spent the last decade photographing weddings, and I still get a little emotional watching people marry their favorite person. My photographs are warm, earthy, and full of life. I love a beautiful portrait, but I’m just as drawn to your mom tearing up, your grandparents holding hands, and the laughter you couldn’t recreate if you tried. Those are the things I want you to have years from now.
I care just as much about how you feel while we’re taking your photos as I do about the photos themselves. You can count on me for direction when you need it, room to be yourselves, and an answer to “what do I do with my hands?” After ten years of weddings, I know when to step in and when to let a moment happen. Cedar + Bloom is also a family effort: my daughter photographs alongside me, and my husband handles video. We love getting to know our couples, so by the wedding day, there’s already a familiar face in your corner!

I cannot recommend her enough! She was absolutely amazing to work with from beginning to end. She was punctual, professional, fun, and constantly went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. Not only did she capture the most breathtaking photos, but she also played such a huge part in helping our wedding day run smoothly. She captured so many priceless, unforgettable moments that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. You can truly tell how much she cares about her work and the people she photographs. She exceeded every single one of my expectations, and I am beyond grateful we chose her to capture one of the most important days of our lives. If you are looking for a photographer who goes the extra mile and delivers truly incredible work, she’s your girl!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cedar + Bloom photography! Carli is the perfect combination of kind, organized, creative, patient, and incredibly talented! Let’s be real… family photos with little kids are not for the faint of heart! 😂 Between the chaos, unpredictable moods, endless wiggles, and everything in between, she showed up ready for the challenge with a smile, flexibility, and so much grace. She has such a gift for embracing the chaos rather than fighting it, making everyone feel comfortable, and somehow finding the magic in the middle of the madness. ❤️ What I appreciate most is her ability to capture not just beautiful posed pictures, but the genuine, candid moments that tell the story of our family in this season of life. Those little moments in between the chaos are often the ones we treasure most, and she captured them so beautifully. We are beyond grateful for her talent, patience, and the memories she has given us. If you’re looking for someone who can turn a little family chaos into absolute magic, she’s your girl! 📸💕 Highly recommend!
Cedar + Bloom Creative Co.•Oct 21, 2026Appreciate you sooo much Jess! Thank you for this review- it means the world! Cant wait to see your adorable crew in just a little over a week!!

Carli is AMAZING to work with. She will make you feel comfortable, make you laugh, be real with you, and be the ultimate girls girl. Carli was our engagement & wedding photographer, during our engagement session time she had a tragedy strike, we told her we are not in a rush and she was still very communicative, timely and apologetic while there was 0 need to be. On our wedding day Carli could read me like a book, when I needed a break, couldn’t make a decision, or was just over whatever was going on, she was on it. She really is that GIRL! She is now our forever photographer.
Cedar + Bloom Creative Co.•Oct 21, 2026You are the real deal girl- thank you!!! I just adore you and have really enjoyed getting to know you and had an absolute BLAST on your wedding day! ❤️ I hope I’m stuck with you, cuz you’re stuck with meeeee! Haha

We have loved all the pictures she has taken over the years. She does such a good job with the kids especially, being silly to bring their smiles out. I can't wait to do pictures again with her this fall!
Cedar + Bloom Creative Co.•Oct 21, 2026Thank you Kels! As always, I love getting to hang with your crew every year! I appreciate you and feel grateful I’ve gotten to watch and document your kiddos growing up 🥹

I highly recommend Cedar + Bloom Creative Co.- Carli is the BEST! We could not have asked for a more wonderful photographer to be part of our son and daughter-in-law’s journey! From their engagement photos through their wedding and reception, she was so much more than a photographer. She was hands-on, supportive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making every part of their special moments perfect. She was absolutely wonderful to work with and made everyone feel comfortable and included. As the mother of the groom, she went above and beyond to make me feel like an important part of the big day. She included me in so many special moments — from being there while the bride was getting ready with her mom and me, to capturing the incredibly special one-on-one dance I shared with my son. Those are memories I will treasure forever, and I’m so grateful she thought to capture them. What makes her even more special is that our relationship didn’t end with the wedding. When my son and daughter-in-law welcomed their first baby, she came back to their home and captured beautiful photos of them with their firstborn. She truly has a gift for capturing not just photographs, but the love, connection, and emotion behind them. She is personable, genuine, caring, and incredibly talented. She has an amazing eye and a wonderful way of making people feel comfortable and valued. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer, and I will absolutely go to her for any of my photography needs in the future. She is absolutely the best — an incredibly talented photographer and, even more importantly, an amazing human being! We are so thankful she was part of these precious chapters in our family’s life. ❤️
