Cake Smash Alternatives
Cake smashes… Did you know that they don’t have to be cake? Some of my client’s kiddos have allergies, so we have been doing out of the box sessions. Here are some of the fun ideas I have done: Ice cream, donuts, tacos, yogurt (pictured), cookies, carrot cake, fruits, colored whip cream, and veggie cakes. […]
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
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.

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 […]

The reproductive specialist called and told us we were expecting. What an amazing Mother’s day gift. Now he is 12 and all boy. What is the best Mother’s day […]
Colors or Neutrals
Color or neutrals? It is a question that I get a lot. So here is what I tell my clients…. Look around your home. And see what your decor is. You want to dress to coordinate with your decor. Since you are probably going to purchase these images in wall art (canvas or framed prints), […]
