About

A bit about me… I’m a tad obsessed with green pastures and meadows. Being outdoors with bare feet and the sun on my skin brings me the simplest form of joy. I love a good rainstorm every now and then because I live in San Diego with no seasons, so when it does rain, I love the thrill that it gives. I am an adventurer at heart, so give me gas in my car or a plane ticket (and a camera of course), and you’ll make me one happy girl. I could eat pesto all day long, and frozen yogurt is a serious weakness of mine. I have been known to bust a little move here and there while photographing receptions (sometimes there’s just no containing it). I am a hopeless romantic, dreamer, silly, determined, and very passionate about what I do.

A bit about my work… I am a natural light photographer inspired by the organic beauty that exists in real life and in real relationships. That’s where my love for photography was born. I am guilty of getting a bit giddy while shooting a couple that is head over heals for each other…. watching a love story unfold in front of my lens brings a joy that is hard to contain. Being able to tell a story through a series of images is a beautiful thing. I feel incredibly blessed that God has given me this chance to photograph His creations and to bring glory to Him through it. I love discovering the individuality of each person I photograph, and learning everyone’s unique story has become such a joy to be a part of.

We are just in love with our engagement photos! We had to reschedule so many times, but Kara was super patient and understanding. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for the fun experience and beautiful photos.

Kara is not only an incredible photographer, but an amazing person as well! She is friendly, patient, professional, and yet so easy to work with. After we got back our beautiful engagement photo's, we knew we couldn't have anyone else do our wedding photos. So she did those too!

Whether engagement or wedding photos, Kara has a creative eye and knows how to get the perfect shot. She covered everything we wanted in our ceremony/reception and then some! She also is extremely talented at editing the photos afterward and we couldn't believe the shots she got from our special day. And to top it all off, she does it all a great price tag and does not gouge her customers. Top quality and great value!

PS - Kara's photos of our wedding day were so good that bridal companies contacted us after seeing the photos circling social media. They asked us "who did your wedding photography? The shots are incredible"! Our wedding photos are now being featured on blogs and bridal websites.. she's that good! Thanks Kara :)

I had the best experience having Kara Donovan photograph my engagement photos. The pictures came out absolutely breath taking. I had this crazy idea to have them take place in the snow and she was so accommodating and made my fiancé and I feel super comfortable. She captured the sweetest moments between us in such a natural way. I would HIGHLY recommend her.

Kara is one of a kind. Not only are her pictures amazing, but she also makes you feel so comfortable and natural. Kara did our engagement photos at Lake Tahoe and they came out perfect. She is the nicest photographer and she truly cares about her work. I highly recommend her and will definitely continue to use her in the future.

We did our engagement photos with Kara and she is amazing! She totally has an eye for getting a great shot every time! My husband and I both have a tendency to be pretty awkward when it comes to taking pictures but Kara's sweet loving personality made us comfortable in front of the camera and put our minds at ease. Kara captured both of our personalities and our relationship in that stage of our lives so well. Those are pictures we'll cherish forever! We loved the photos Kara took so much we even had her take family photos for us with our new bundle of joy this Christmas! She's the best!!

Kara shot our engagement session up in Laguna Beach and it was magical!!! She is super down to earth and made us feel so relaxed as she captured different shots. She has a really good eye and knew exactly which spots would make for amazing photos. They turned out incredible and truly reflect the genuine love between Ryan and I. I would highly recommend booking Kara for your engagement session!! She is so much fun to work with :)
