Hi! I’m Cara Harrison, owner of Mischief and Laughs Photography. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing hundreds of awesome families and gorgeous weddings over the past 14 years – I love thinking about the rich legacy of photographs hanging on my clients’ walls! I’m a mom of three kiddos. I’m an INFP, which means I think with my heart. I love to be outdoors. Love. It. I'm more interested in connections and love than I am pretty decorations. I have a documentary style - I'm always on the lookout for emotion and action.

We absolutely loved working with Cara and can’t recommend her enough.
From the very beginning, she was flexible, easygoing, and genuinely wonderful to be around. We had a few plan...
changes along the way, and Cara handled everything with total grace — no stress, no pressure, just support.
On the wedding day itself, she went above and beyond to make both of us feel comfortable and special. Neither of us are naturals in front of a camera, but Cara made everything feel relaxed and fun, and it shows in the photos. We felt truly taken care of.
One thing that meant a lot to us: during a time when finding vendors for a Jewish wedding can feel a little nerve-wracking, Cara didn’t blink twice. She was completely open, respectful, and excited to be part of our day, which made us feel so at ease and so grateful.
And the photos are stunning. She captured the joy, emotion, and energy of the day perfectly — we love them so much.
If you want a photographer who is talented, kind, flexible, and deeply invested in her couples, Cara is the one. We’re so thankful we found her.
