Hi there!
I’ve been photographing since 2015 but have been doing it professionally since the beginning of 2022. I use a Canon R6, ideal for low-light, indoor, and outdoor photoshoots. I also have a backup camera, Canon R10.
I do all types of photography, such as weddings, portraits, families, birthdays, events, etc. I edit all my pictures with Lightroom, take unlimited photos, and do revisions in Photoshop if needed. Pricing and what I deliver for specific types of photoshoots will vary. We can create a mood board together to capture the “vision” that you want or prepare how you want the pictures to “feel”. I want to make your experience the best one yet!

Karen was very easy to work with! Throughout the whole process before my wedding, she was fast to respond and also super friendly! She came early to our venue on the day of and made sure which places and angles are great for our pictures. My husband and I don’t usually like taking pictures and are awkward/don’t like posing in front of camera and wanted more candid pictures of us throughout the day instead, Karen was super understanding and told us to do what we are comfortable with and she’ll take care of the rest! Our ceremony was pushed back 30 minutes so did the rest of our schedule/day because majority of our family members were stuck in traffic due to accidents on the road, but Karen was very patient and through all the confusion, she assured us it’s no problem at all. If you want a chill, easy, professional photographer, Karen is it! She’ll make your day stress free and perfect in what you want for your wedding!

Karen helped capture beautiful portraits and candid photographs for us on our kids 6 month old birthday. She was very patient and fun loving and kept up with our 3-year-olds running around very well too!

Karen is a wonderful and very patient photographer. We have a rambunctious, determined 2 year old and she handled it very well. We are going to see Karen again. Thanks Karen for putting up with the chaos.
