I’m all about creating photos that feel like real life — the good, the chaotic, the sweet, the in-between. Every session is designed to be relaxed, fun, and centered around your family. Here’s a look at the experiences I offer so you can find the one that fits your season right now.

Love Notes...
A few words from the families who’ve trusted me with their favorite moments.
Brittany — Newborn Session
★★★★★
Kara made the entire experience feel easy and stress-free. From start to finish, everything was so well thought out, and the photos were absolutely worth the investment. These are images we will treasure forever.
Brendan — Newborn Session
★★★★★
From booking to gallery delivery, everything felt easy and well-organized. The experience and the images were absolutely worth the investment.
Anna — Wedding Photography
★★★★★
Kara truly saved the day for us. She stepped in last minute for our wedding and handled everything with such calm, professionalism, and kindness. From the moment she arrived, we felt completely at ease knowing we were in good hands. The experience was seamless, the photos were beautiful, and choosing Kara was one of the best decisions we made.
There’s something kind of magical about that, isn’t there? One blink, one tiny smirk, one windblown strand of hair—and it’s gone. But a photograph lets us keep it.
Not just what it looked like, but what it felt like. The way your toddler’s hand fit perfectly in yours. The quiet in-between glances with your partner.
The chaos, the giggles, the sweetness that’s over in a second but somehow lives on in a photo. That’s the real power of what we do.
“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”
– Karl Lagerfeld
