Selecting Wall Displays
Several clients have asked me how I select images to put on my walls. And it really is a hard process for a lot of people. Do you select landscape/travel images? Do you choose heirloom family B&Ws? Do you create a family wall? It really is personal preference and depends on the look of your […]
Senior Brand
High School seniors lately have so much more personality than I did when I graduated. I guess this is par for the course, but I say this every year. I thought I was the sh*t back then. And now I think back and I hadn’t done anything really. The seniors graduating now have most of […]
Covid Restrictions
I have to be honest, there are few things in life I get this excited about. I’m pretty boring. But if you know me pretty well, you know that cupcakes, newborn babies and travel are a few of those things. Lately, during Covid, travel has fallen off of that list. I have become a hermit […]
Emotions of Motherhood
Motherhood. There are so many emotions that come with it. Mine came with lots and lots of anxiety. Some moms are just filled with joy and peace. I wish that for all of my moms! There is no magic answer book. Parents make the perfect choices for their babies. Period. So when you are staying […]
Kara’s Style

Simplicity
Sometimes simplicity is the key. I had the pleasure of meeting this handsome little one this morning. And little he is. He is on his way to being big, but for now, he didn’t fit into much other than my wraps. But he did want to stay awake for about half of his session. So […]
In Bloom
Baby girls are like flowers that are always in bloom. I had the pleasure of meeting this sweet little one today. And even though she was super excited to meet me (ie. stayed awake almost the entire time.) she now has a gallery of almost 80 images to show for her very first professional photo […]
What is a session like with Kara
Don’t take my word for it… “What is it like to do a session with Kara? Well first of all she always provides many ideas and options for location. She always sends reminders so that there is no confusion on times and locations. She even sends wardrobe ideas for the session. She is always punctual […]
The Big Number 4
I get to see this young man every year. What a blessing! I love seeing how much he is growing every year. He loves exploring my secret little path way. But this year, he was ready to go get his prize at Walmart for being good. 🙂 Next year is a big year. I can’t […]
