Authentic stories. Thoughtful direction. Human connection.
My name is Caroline Harper. I’m a creative director, photographer, and videographer driven by the power of storytelling — representing moments, voices, and people in ways that feel authentic, resonant, and lasting.
After many years working in fine dining, I am passionate about working closely with beloved local restaurants, wineries, and makers — telling their stories through honest, intentional imagery that showcases not just what’s made, but the hands and hearts behind it.
My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with a refined editorial eye, creating work that feels warm, grounded, and true to each brand’s unique spirit. Whether it’s photographing seasonal menus, vineyard harvests, or the people who make it all happen, I’m inspired by the connection between craft and place.
