Welcome to Carlee Williams Visuals!
My name is Carlee Williams and I’m a Chicago based photographer and videographer. I specialize in portrait photography from professional headshots to creative studio shoots! When I’m not taking photos you can find me capturing live events and comedy sketches on video.
I’ve called Chicago my home for over two years now but frequently travel to other states for wedding videography and live event photography, I love variety!
When I’m not behind the camera you can find me writing for comedy shows at a local coffee shop or exploring the city with my friends.
Check out my work!
