About

I’m a happily married wife of 11 years to a hot farm boy, a proud mommy of a diva of a daughter and a hilarious son, and a blissfully happy wedding photographer! I thrive on coffee, wearing boots, the music of Glee, Apple computers, and my faith. I despise grocery shopping, running, and mean people!

Although I have a teaching degree from the University of Illinois (go Illini!), my faith and my sister gave me the confidence to pursue this dream. I have been shooting professionally for 5 years. I have shot over 120 weddings in my first 5 years. And I’m not even close to being sick of it! Shooting weddings has allowed me to fall in love: with photography, with the wedding industry, and with my husband all over again.

I love to smile, I love to laugh, and I love ‘love stories’. And I’d love to help capture yours. Thank you for considering me for your wedding day!

Excellent, Creative, and Made the Day Perfect!

Kara was a wonderful last-minute addition to our wedding, and was able to hit the ground running, was so kind and helpful, and worked so well with our coordinator and videographer on the day of!
She and her wonderful second shooter were very organized, coordinated well with the videographers to cover everything on that fast-paced day, and they had a plan for dealing with the intense heat. They knew exactly the photos they needed to get, and didn't leave us standing around in the heat - she got everyone organized and got them done, and it was so painless. It was wonderful, and we're so glad that Kara worked out for our wedding!

Kara and team are PERFECT!

You will not find better than Kara and her team! She is incredibly easy to work with before, during and after your wedding. She made us incredibly comfortable and captured so many moments we didn't know! Her poor second shooter even helped fix my train to go down the aisle! Perfect photography team!

Relaxed & Fun

Have you ever been a part of a wedding party where you get sick and tired of taking corny posed photos and your cheeks hurt from fake smiling so long? THIS IS NOT THAT. Kara and her team are INCREDIBLE to work with and make the whole experience fun. I met Kara while she was shooting one of my friends weddings so naturally when I got engaged she was the first photographer to pop into my mind. My husband is not the photo shoot type but Kara got him to crack a smile and look so natural with ease. Fast forward to our wedding day where Kara nick-named all the groomsmen and captured amazing moments for us. BONUS- when my veil needed to be pinned in more securely before our ceremony Kara saved the day. PHOTOG + HAIR DRESSER??? YEP. The overall experience was AMAZING and I cannot stress enough how EASY it was working with the KKP team (all brides need vendors that are easy to work with am I right?!) We LOVE Kara and are so happy with our photos! We cannot say enough good things & would recommend KKP to anyone!!
