Welcome to Caroline Moore Photography
September 15, 2011
I’m Caroline Moore, and I’m from Brownsville, PA. If you’re not familiar, I’m about halfway between Pittsburgh, PA and Morgantown, WV. Have camera, will travel.
It’s hard to choose the right photographer when you’re looking at a sea of strangers. I use the blog, and a few social media sites (Facebook & Twitter), as a way for you to get to know me better. This is also where I post all of my most recent work. If you want to see my favorites, you can check out the galleries for weddings, portraits, and concerts. You can also sign up for the email newsletter.

Anthony & Kriscinda: Engaged
May 30, 2012
Wow, have things gotten hectic around here. Wedding season is in full swing, WMC Fest is coming up, and I just got a new machine so that I can edit your photos EVEN FASTER.
First up, meet Anthony & Kriscinda.
They were so much fun to hang out with, and are absolutely bonkers about each other. We got a few shots in their backyard (“Yeah, we have photo shoots in our backyard like… ALL the time.”) I’ve had several couples ask to take some photos with their dog, but this is the first that wanted some with their cat. As you can see, she’s totally psyched to be involved.
I have serious jacket envy.
We moved on to a local cemetery where they like to walk after that, and got some great sun flare.
I mentioned that this was pretty close to Chatham, where I’d gone to grad school, and found out that Kriscinda had graduated from there as well. Small world, eh?

Volunteers
May 18, 2012
We’re getting close to go-time on WMC Fest, and we’re still looking for volunteers. While there’s work to be done in all aspects of the festival, I’m personally responsible for making sure that we have quality photos and video of the whole weekend.
So why would you want to volunteer your time for WMC Fest? Well…
It’s Fun.
If you’re worried that volunteering means you’ll miss all the good stuff, don’t be. Shifts are short, so you’re not “stuck” in any one space for the whole day. Last year I opted to cover the speakers all weekend, and got to hear some AMAZING presentations while I worked.
Meet Cool People.
This isn’t exactly exclusive to volunteering, since you’ll meet great people anyway. But I got to hang out behind the scenes a lot as a volunteer, and spend some time with the folks that make the festival happen.
It’s Good for Your Portfolio.
Believe me, I’m the LAST person on the planet to pull a “it’s good exposure” on you. What I will say is that you’re guaranteed to have opportunities to shoot some really cool stuff. Last year I got to shoot things like Aaron Draplin planting the Puerto Rican flag onstage, a rainbow parade, live bands, and a breakdance battle.
Support WMC Fest.
WMC Fest is a unique festival and community event, and it’s something that I’m proud to be a part of. I saw first hand last year how much volunteers are needed to keep everything running smoothly. This year, I’m seeing first hand how all of the money going to the festival is getting put back into it, and making it better.
Get in Free.
While this is probably the most reasonably priced festival I know of, free stuff is still pretty great. Put in four hours taking photos or shooting video for the event, and you can hang out the rest of that day for free (plus, you get a t-shirt. And since it’s a design festival, you know it’ll be an awesome t-shirt.)
Where Do I Sign Up?
If you’re looking to volunteer for our photo or video crew, email me at info@mooreclick.com. If you want to volunteer for other positions, you can sign up here. Also, if you’re local-ish to Cleveland, we’re having a volunteer orientation at Go Media on May 23rd at 6:00. You can find out more or RSVP on the Facebook event page.
Music Monday: Title Fight
May 7, 2012
Note: To the awesome dudes/dudettes in the crowd who I promised photos to, those are up on the Facebook page as promised, so go tag ‘em up.
No, these aren’t from last night’s show at Stage AE. There was a little mix up with the press pass, and sadly I missed Title Fight’s set. A Day To Remember’s and Rise Against’s photos will be up soonish. For now, here’s a few shots from the AP Tour last November, at the Altar Bar.
I was pretty focused on getting this shot, which means I was totally NOT focused on the 8 or so people that decided to crowd surf up to the front all at once. Since they didn’t have a barrier for this show (or actually, anything I’ve shot at Altar), I was in the pit with everyone else, and took a boot to the face. But hey, I got the shot.
They put on a great set, so I’m pretty bummed that I missed them this time around.
Want to make sure you don’t miss any shots from last night’s show? Go befriend me on Facebook.

Cleveland
April 30, 2012
John and I end up in Cleveland, OH a lot. Usually for shows, but it’s at least a few trips a year. We’d always just round tripped it before, but figured this time, we’d make a weekend of it.
Our whole drive out looks approximately like this:
Our first destination was the Grog Shop, to see Protest the Hero (which is the second time we’ve driven to Cleveland to see them), along with The Safety Fire, Jeff Loomis, and Periphery. Protest’s show was entertaining as usual, they’re great musicians but are also just really funny dudes. Here’s me and John, looking excited about the totally bomb ass parking spot we found.
After the show, we pretty much just scrambled to find somewhere that was still open for food, and crashed at the hotel. We had all sorts of plans for the next day, but since we were pretty much winging it the entire weekend, ended up doing almost none of them. We did manage to make the whole thing an exercise in getting as much free shit as possible over the course of a weekend, and kicked that off with breakfast at Bob Evans (gift card #1). We found out that since it was induction day, admission to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was free (booyah!). We’d planned on hanging out there for a bit, and then moving on to some other attractions, but ended up spending something like 5 hours looking around in there.
Graffiti from the Grog Shop, John getting rained on while we waited in line, guitar signed by the dudes from Rancid, and the view from upstairs.
This band won the corporate rock contest, and it made up entirely of members of some accounting firm.
I literally squealed “Oh my God, horsies!” at this. I’m not proud of myself, guys.
We had planned to hit up the art museum after this, but our plan didn’t include actually looking up their hours, and they close at the same time as the Rock Hall. We instead waited for something like an hour to get into Outback (gift card #2), and realized over dinner that we were both crazy tired. Sadly, we completely punked out on going to the WMC Fest fundraiser show at the Happy Dog that evening, on account of general oldness. We stopped off at Starbucks (gift card #3) on the way out of Ohio to get properly caffeinated for the trip home.
Speaking of WMC Fest, it’s my next scheduled stop in Cleveland. If you’re into music, design, and/or art, you should definitely look into picking up tickets.
