Travel Gear
When you go on vacation, what camera do you take? Before I became a full time photographer, I would take all kinds of photography gear. I loved taking photos on vacation. But now, it is only my phone. I usually have it with me anyways and it takes great photos. I always say that […]
Team Smile?
Are you team smile? Or team serious? I love a serious portrait of a child. It is like a window into their soul. There is nothing like it. When they look directly into the camera with no smile. I know it isn’t a popular opinion. But oh how I love it! Most love a smiley […]
Spring Sisters
These two sisters were super excited about our spring minis. I love seeing them. I have photographed them since 2015. Seeing them grow up is very special and a really big honor. I hope they had a really good time today and they love their sneaks. And their bubbles. They have certainly grown just a […]
Spring Beauties
These two beautiful ladies visited me today for our Spring mini sessions. We smelled the flowers, laughed and had a fabulous time. They were super excited that we didn’t have butterflies this year.

Sibling Rivalry
I have an older brother. He is 5 years older than I am and lives in California. I don’t see him very often now, but growing up it was a typical sister/brother relationship. He tortured me and I hated it. I love seeing my client’s sibling kiddos. Seeing how cute they are when they […]
Photography Heaven
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. But you can also go online and purchase everything you could ever want! Computers, video equipment, lighting, and especially […]
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 […]
