My Story
I began my journey into the world of photography at the age of 15. When I got my very first camera (a RICOH-XR- 1) Ever since then, I have always been mesmerized by light and color—traveling to new locations and meeting/photographing new exciting people, always with a camera in hand. One of the things that I love and appreciate most about photography is the ability to capture a fleeting moment in a millisecond that the casual eye cannot possibly see. It's like a magical experience when you review your photos to see what you have captured. That energy and excitement are what I bring to my clients, whether I'm shooting a portrait or a special event. I'm waiting for that right moment, that decisive moment when they are looking their best and preserving their special memories to be enjoyed, relived, and cherished forever.

Testimonials
"Working with Karen for our son's bar mitzvah was a delight from start to finish. She made a potentially impossible situation, taking pictures of our family, including our three sons, fun. Our comfort level with her, and the expertise she has, shows in the pictures... We could not have been happier with them... During our party she was totally in the background. She took wonderful candid shots and beautiful posed, but was never intrusive in any way, never prevented us from enjoying the party. I can't recommend Karen highly enough… I am only afraid that if everyone knows how wonderful she is, she may not be available if and when we need her again."

"Thank you so very much for the wonderful photos of our wedding... you made us and our families feel so at ease... While you were everywhere during the reception, you and your wonderful assistant were never intrusive. When Matt and I received our proofs, we were ecstatic... you captured every important moment of the day and were always willing to take more pictures... We recommend you to anyone and everyone who is in need of a photographer. Thank you! Thank you!"
- Matthew & Janice Roach
"The photos Karen took of our wedding captured its spirit perfectly... joyful and free-spirited, even in the posed shots. I would hire her again, in a minute, and have in fact recommended her to friends, who were equally delighted with the results."

"It was truly the happiest day of our life! Karen captured all of the special moments and loved ones at our wedding with the most beautiful pictures. After 19 years we finally purchased our wedding album. Thanks to Karen we have been able to relive all of the love, laughter, and joy of our beautiful wedding day."

"Just look at her work, and you will be convinced. Karen gets right in there, is selfless, the camera somehow taking on a life of its own as she/it conspire to bring out hidden qualities in the people and places she sees fit to photograph. Stunning work."
