A lot of clients ask where I purchase photography equipment. It’s not a secret location. I love B&H Photo!​​​​​​​​ They are located in New York and even have a huge store there that you can visit.

Client Testimony

A little note from one of our clients! “Kara at Kara Powell Photography has been our photographer for 10 years and has truly become an extended member of our family. I met Kara when I was trying to schedule a surprise session for my parents. That year my family was scattered across the globe and […]

Netflix and Amazon

I know this will be no surprise to anyone. But according to RES Consumer Reports, in the past 6 months, the most widely used service was Netflix and Amazon Prime. A close third was cable television. The top three social media was Facebook, Instagram and text. ​​​​​​​​ So from that, I take that we are […]

Referral Love

Do you know that there is a way for you to earn $50 cash from me? ​​​​​​​​ All you have to do is tell your friends and family about how amazing my business is. Have them book a full session (mini sessions do not count) and tell them to tell me your name. ​​​​​​​​I love […]

Introvert?

Are you an introvert or an extrovert? I bet you can tell which this little one is… I am totally an introvert. Talking to people is hard and I have learned over the years various ways to do it that doesn’t drain me. Luckily in my job, I usually only talk to 1 or 2 […]

Airplane

Airplane was my son’s favorite game when he was young. Actually until he was around 8. He loved everything about it.​​​​​​​​ I’m sure all of your kids have favorite games you all play. ​​​​​​​​This is why I always suggest to wear cute AND comfortable clothes to your session. Just in case we play games. You […]
