Hey there! I'm Kara. I've been capturing life's best moments since 2012. Before photography, I spent nearly two decades as a preschool teacher—super rewarding!
I'm raising six amazing kids with my middle school sweetheart. They keep me on my toes and fill my heart with joy.
When I'm not snapping photos, I’m diving into interior design, tuning into podcasts, or hanging at the playground. We love adventures and cooking up tasty meals together!
Photography is more than just pictures to me. It's about connecting with people and capturing their family's love and warmth.
Let's go on this journey together! I'm excited to create some magic with you.

Even with two very active toddlers, she is able to get the best shots! Kara is so easy to work with and my kids adore her, which is always a plus in my book!
