Well, hello there!
I'm C Marie, but you can call me Carrie. I'm a proud mom of three amazing boys and I've been in photography
for over 20 years.
About C Marie
Hey, I’m so glad you're here!
My love for photography started back at the University of Nebraska— when my pursuit of an Art Education Degree took a detour after taking my first photography class. I was so excited afterwards, that I took every photography class I could! In 1999, I accepted a job with one of the area’s best Wedding Photographers, and by 2001, I branched out on my own and opened my own studio.
In 2012, I began designing wall art and scripture designs for friends, and that quickly blossomed into a new passion. I spent a lot of time taking classes and learning all about design, and now I design everything from simple business cards and stickers to awesome booklets and websites. Graphic design is seriously so fun!
Today I focus on branding design, branding photography, portraits, headshots, senior photos and family photography.
What lights me up?
Helping small businesses grow! I truly believe in the magic of combining great photos and knockout designs—it's the key to a killer online presence. By offering both services, I'm able to give you the edge you deserve. My goal is to create a beautifully cohesive online presence across all your platforms.
I also love working with High School Seniors! I spent 10 years in youth ministry and absolutely love working with the next generation!
Although I'm based in Omaha, I'm not limited by location. Whether you're around the corner or across the globe, I'm here to share some photography and design magic with you!
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Carrie for the branding and photography of my new bookkeeping business, and I couldn't be happier with the results.
From the initial consultation to the final product, Carrie demonstrated an incredible understanding of my vision for the business. Her attention to detail and creativity truly brought my ideas to life in a way that exceeded my expectations!”

Carrie was a wonderful person to work with. I loved her energy the whole time. I had never had pictures taken so I was a little nervous but Carrie was so sweet and did an amazing job on my senior pictures. She had great suggestions for locations and poses. The final results were everything I’d hoped for and more! Definitely will be returning for future photos!

Carrie was absolutely amazing to work with for my daughter’s senior pictures! She took time to get to know her and made her feel so comfortable during her photo sessions. She is extremely talented at what she does and we are very thankful for all she did to give us lasting memories.

Looking for a branding/graphic designer? Look no further, Carrie Newell is the absolute package!! I 100% enjoyed my experience with C Marie Photography & Design!
Carrie has patience, integrity, creativity, and obtains excellent customer service. She is a great communicator and provides valuable insight regarding style preference. I was stunned at her professionalism and honesty regarding services offered, and my ideas/execution expectations on things that will work and things that will not.
She took my passion, my mood board, and verbal ideas, and created a brand that has left me breathless for @the_gritty.goldenrod!
I am beyond thankful I chose her to create a brand for my baking company! Her work is absolutely beautiful! 11/10

Carrie has taken family photos for us and also took headshots for me this year. I appreciate her attention to detail in scheduling, the shoot, and follow up. She always makes us feel comfortable, and comes with creative ideas to make the pictures unique. We have received so many compliments on our photos! Thank you so much, Carrie!
-Amy P
Carrie was so great to work with! She totally put me at ease, knew just how to coach me during our shoot, and I am so happy with the end results. She managed to capture both my personality and the sense of professionalism I was looking for in my headshots. Thanks, Carrie!
-Jessica
Carrie is absolutely amazing! I reached out to her when I was really stressed about social media and marketing photography materials and she has taken so much off my plate since adding her. I went into this, not knowing how this all really worked and she has completely made this a walk in the park. She is so flexible and understanding and so easy to work with. She has taken so much off of my plate since we have started and she’s turned around my marketing materials and social media beyond measure! I’d recommend Carrie any day!
