we love working with kara!

We’ve done Christmas pictures, senior pictures and pictures with cows. She got my teenager to laugh and enjoy himself! It’s evident from the start that she loves what she does. She’s professional and good with directions to get you into the pose she wants! She does it all with a side of humor that is infectious. Book a session - you will not be disappointed!!
