"Karen was great to work with- very organized, helpful in preparing for the session and knowing what to expect and shares examples of good colors to wear. She took photos of me and my sweet but wild and excitable dog. She was patient and kind and took some great photos of us. Working with her was pleasant and easy start to finish!"

"Our photos turned out so beautifully! I asked Karen to photograph our new house and take some candid/posed couple photos. She knocked it out of the park! Not only is she so extremely talented and fun to work with, but she made the whole experience a breeze. Being able to order prints directly from the site made me so happy. She listened to what I wanted, offered great ideas, and helped keep things feeling so natural and light."
