kara truly blew us away!
Kara truly blew us away with her photography and the speed at which she delivered our photos! Every single shot was incredible, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. We’re already looking forward to working with her again!

everything about the session was excellent!
She is very professional and competent. She clearly loves what she does because her enthusiasm is contagious and reflects in her work. I am highly satisfied with the results and already looking forward to our next session.

Kind Words
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
