About
Hey! I am Kari and thanks so much for your interest in my company!!
So you're probably wondering what makes me different from other photographers?
Well....
I get to know my clients personally. I would like to think it's not a business but working with my clients to produce beautiful products and to create friendships. I have photographed so much of my client's lives and very important moments. I have clients that I started with their engagement and now photographing their beautiful families. In addition, I am a super laid back, fun and easy person to get along with.
To piggyback off my previous paragraph, I have been featured 7 times and published 28x. I offer four different packages that DO include digital images. If clients want something other than my offered packages, we can create a custom package tailored to your needs.
A special fact about me: I have been working in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis for 8 years working with individuals with special needs and after completing two degrees, I hung that hat up to go full time.
Thanks so much for taking time learning about me and I hope we get a chance to work together!!

Working with Solas Photography was an awesome experience! We had a vision and Kari made it happen. We wanted photos taken of Luna, our 6 month old puppy, while she's still small- and they turned out super cute. Thanks SO much, for your flexibility, positive attitude, and clear communication Kari!

I contacted Kari because I liked her portfolio. She responded right away and answered all of my questions. Unfortunately during the session my 3 year old daughter who is very shy did not want to cooperate! We did not get any one good family photo that day because my daughter closed her eyes the whole time. Kari saw my disappointed look and kindly offered another session at no charge! All the pictures during the 2nd session came out beautiful and I really appreciate Kari's dedication to customer satisfaction.
Details: Family or children's portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Hyesun,
Thank you so much for your review!! That was no problem doing a second session for you. I know how important photos are to families which is why I always want the best for my clients. I enjoyed working with your family and I am glad your beautiful little girl trusted me enough to capture those moments for you. Thank you again!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is based off the equipment I use, location, time photographing, product the client wants, and type of service.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I love to get to know new people. I start out with chatting with a new client beforehand and get to know them and what they are looking to get. I have multiple event and portrait packages to cater to all different client needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I took a sociological photography class in my undergraduate studies. I learned how to photograph manually and would have assignments based off what I learned and different aspects of photography.
