Meet your photographer

welcome friend.

Hey there, I’m Kara + welcome to my favorite creative realm✨

Photography isn’t just a job to me. It’s been my love language for as long as I can remember. Capturing people in their most natural element sets my heart on fire, and I have a knack for empowering all kinds to feel comfortable, confident and seen in front of my lens. I can't wait to do the same for you.

We cannot even explain how blown away we are with this gallery.
You truly captured US! 

Kelsey + Becky

We cannot express enough gratitude for the time you spent documenting our story. And cannot wait for you to document our next chapter! (...) I wish you could see us screaming as we projected these beautiful photos on our TV!!!! Thank you endlessly.

She made our first couple shoot effortless.

Kara was absolutely amazing!! My boyfriend and I did our very first couple shoot and she made it so effortless. We had so much fun that he is already wanting to do another. So grateful that she woke up so early to meet us at sunrise at such an amazing spot. 

We are so lucky to have you capture all of our special moments!!!!!!

Sorry it took me all of 10 minutes to respond to these sneak peeks, I was too busy gushing over them to everyone. But seriously, I’m already so obsessed?!?!?! I truly cannot wait to see everything else. You are amazing and we are so lucky to have you capture all of our special moments!!!!!

When I say we’re obsessed,
it’s an understatement!!
These photos are so so incredible. 

Corrinne + Aric

(You) perfectly captured the absolute best day in all of its ethereal wonder. We are so grateful and lucky to have shared the day with you to capture these moments. Thank you truly so much!  Will be shrieking for the foreseeable future...

Kara is FUN. I gained a friend when I thought I was just getting a photographer.

Kara is FUN. She'll make you feel comfortable, she'll help you feel non-awkward, and she's really easy to talk to as a person! We wanted a photo session in a beautiful place with someone who made us feel comfortable, so we wouldn't feel like we were doing something significant with a stranger tagging along. It felt more like a group date, and that was perfect. Kara's just great :) And I'm glad I gained a friend when I thought I was just getting a photographer.

You made me feel so comfortable
which NEVER happens.

Ariana + Garrett

Oh my gosh I love our photos!!! We had a blast too. Garrett even said as we were going home “she’s really good at her job.” And he had fun which is always a plus! You made me feel so comfortable which NEVER happens.
