Kara’s Style
If you have been around here for a while, you will notice that I have a particular style. I like my families to be themselves and natural! No posing or cheese here.

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 […]

Canon Camera Girl
I’m a Canon girl. Always have been! I started with a Canon Rebel film camera in middle school. I was obsessed! Even won a contest back then with an image I took of my cousin, right after he was born. I loved capturing people and their emotions. What do you shoot with? What do you […]

It shows that the people or person has complete trust in the photographer. This is one of my favorite photos of me. I love Michelle of @pinkletoes and trust her […]
