It's important to me that my client's story is told effectively and beautifully. I enjoy the creative interaction inherent to the collaboration process of creating excellent photography. Once I have a brief from the client we begin the conversations of building a working relationship and set of goals. My role centers on visual impact and function ultimately fulfilling the purpose in my client's best interest ~ within budget and timeline. Oh, and that little rascal is the studio pup: Missy

Bob Visger, Sr. Manager-Operations Strategy at TE Connectivity May 21, 2021

I highly recommend Karen for any photography project. Her knowledge of lighting, angles, colors and facial expressions is unparalleled. She had great insight into what message each visual would impart on the audience. In addition to her amazing skills the passion she has for delivering the perfect photo reassured me that I was in great hands. The hardest part was picking which of her amazing pictures I liked the most. She was a pleasure to work with and made the entire process a lot of fun.

Mahala Bloom, Bloom Graphic Design- May 10, 2020

Karen is the epitome of what a seasoned professional business owner and freelancer should be. I knew that while working with Karen, I could expect high quality work, attention to detail, a confident point of view, and a strong collaborative flow. Not to mention, assets delivered on time. Karen and I collaborated regularly on client projects involving premium, sophisticated product offerings with complex detailing. Karen raises the bar and brings detail and professionalism to the table. Photos are always accurately color-adjusted, tac sharp and free of motion blur. Karen captures complex detailing beautifully, and often with fewer (or no) images to merge in post processing, speeding production time and increasing overall efficiency. Karen is truly a step above, and I don't say this lightly. Her work achieves an entirely different level of quality. Aside from Karen's clear excellence and experience as a photographer, she is a delight to work with. I genuinely enjoy days in the studio with her, and count on her to bring positive energy!

Having learned to work with all kinds of clients, including the most demanding, Karen handles the details of projects considering the best solutions. For those not use to art directing photography, Karen provides tactful guidance which from a manager’s stand point it is invaluable. Whether it is a difficult lighting situation, tough location, a tricky technical aspect or organizing photo session time, Karen won’t waste billable hours figuring it out. Ultimately she comes up with the photos that are effective and accomplishes the objectives of the project. Her photographs of people are stunning and her attention to detail impeccable. My staff and I enjoy working with Karen knowing we have a partner invested in the outcome.

Art Bowker, Law Enforcement Professional-March 7, 2018
I had the pleasure of meeting Karen and having her take my professional portrait in March 2018. She made the process enjoyable and easy. She scheduled me in at a convenient time for the shoot. She provided high quality pictures that I use for all my social networking needs, website, book cover, etc. She also got them to me the same day and they all came out GREAT. Finally, the price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to upgrade to a professional portrait.

I’ve known Karen for years and through out have been increasingly impressed with the competence, effort and enthusiasm that Karen puts forth in everything she does, and especially the beautiful work she recently did with some of our non-profit accounts. Her creativity and skill sets make her a pleasure to work with on any project. I’m equally impressed with her high ethically standards and social consciousness that makes up some of her many facets. Highly recommended for those interested in a very qualified and skillful artist that extraordinarily connects with a desired target audience.
