Sand and Surf
One of our favorite places to vacation as a family is the beach. The boys can surf and enjoy the ocean. And I can lay by the pool. We have been to so many beautiful beaches. Our latest adventure was Guana Caste, Costa Rica. It was amazing and we were literally one of 20 families […]
Morning or Night Person
Are you a morning or night person? I am a mid-day person. Ha! But for beach, I definitely prefer sunset. But you know what? There isn’t a bad time for portraits at the beach. Sunrise at the beach is just as beautiful. I rarely get people that will meet me for portraits at sunrise, but […]
First Clients
These two. I remember this session way back in 2011. Their family was one of my first clients and they were so sweet to trust me. They loved all of my suggestions of crazy mini sessions each and every year. So in 2011 when I suggested the beach, they were up to drive the 2 […]

Standing Tall
When you would rather stand at your sitter session, you think you are super cute. And I happen to agree. Look at him? You might recognize Mr. G from his newborn session. He was the one that decided to be wide awake and super handsome the whole time. I met him this morning to start […]

It is all about the eyes. Most people say they are the window to your soul. They can tell you a lot about the person. Whether they are happy, sad or sick. So when you are preparing for you portrait session, make sure to have eye drops handy, just in case you have allergy eyes […]

Here at Kara Powell Photography, we focus on helping you USE the beautiful images we create. Yep, we […]
Birthday Sessions
Birthday sessions are one of the most fun types of sessions that we get to do as a Conroe TX child photographer. Yes, family sessions are fun, but during a birthday session it is all about just one child and his or her interest that year. It could be construction or cars or princesses. But […]
