About

The photos that bring you back when time snuck by: remember the intimacy, fun, happiness. Feel the laughter, feel the forgotten breaths, feel the atmosphere. See what you didn’t, surprise yourself, overflow with joy, the unexpected laugh, the happy cry, smile with excitement, know how love feels, see the emotion. This is who you are, the story of your life.

Let me tell your story from the beginning of the day when you’re nervous to the dance when you lay your head on each other and realize what the day means and you’re having the time of your life. Let me tell the little stories in between the ones you don’t know that are happening, let me bring you back to that place when time seemed like it stood still or that went so fast it’s all just a blur.

Your album is your love story on paper so they’re included with every package. The album is what carries on throughout your life, in several years, you’ll be pulling it out for all to see! I like to keep things simple when it comes to albums. Only 3 sizes are offered and simple covers so that they endure the lifetime they’re meant to! I make sure the images make a statement not the album or the design.

My shooting philosophy is simple, make things easy on everyone on the wedding day. I make sure you have some amazing portraits as a couple while getting the entire day. I know what’s important to you, it’s the connection between you and your (new) husband (or wife!) and that’s what I’m capturing throughout the day.

I can’t wait to talk with you about your day whether formal, casual or something in between! Go ahead and contact me, I know you want to!

My studio is located at 227 S Third St (2nd floor by the elevator) in Geneva, IL easily accessible via I-88 and the metra (I’m 3 blocks north of it!), come stop by during my office hours on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday from 4-8 or by appointment!

Kara was AMAZING!!! She is funny, kind, patient, and very practical. She honored all of our wishes and didn't try to talk us into something we didn't want. Kara is down to earth, approachable, and very organized. Not to mention, her photos are beautiful!!

Kara did a great job and I loved how all my photos turned out. She is super easy to work with and she was very quick with responding to my 1,000 questions! She made the process leading up to my wedding day very simple. She had great advise and awesome ideas for different photos! I will recommend Kara over and over again!

Kara Schultz is not just a photographer - she is an all-around wedding guru! She and her assistant actually bustled my dress after the ceremony - in less than 3 minutes. That's just one example of the over and above that Kara provides as your photographer. In addition to the amazing photos from our engagement shoot to the wedding, she was an absolute necessity for that day. She was a therapist from start to finish, helping me to cope with everything from a jewelry fiasco (for which she gave up her own hair clip for my MOH to fashion one 10 minutes before the ceremony) to a sister drama issue that could have easily spun my out of control without her there to ameliorate. What else can I say - her photos are flawless and speak for themselves, but I can speak to all of the magic she does behind the scenes. For all of this and more, I would HIGHLY recommend Kara Schultz. She is responsive when you need her, she is assertive when necessary to get the best shots, and she is supportive in every way a bride needs on the big day/night. One added bonus is that you get a cd with all of your pictures and do not have to buy them off of her. Note that she does own the rights and can use them to promote her business, but gives you the ability to make your own copies and manipulate the photos as necessary. She is definitely not trying to screw you over in making you buy pics off of her only. This is just how Kara works.

I have worked with Kara on so many weddings this past year and it's always a pleasure to run into her. The moments she captures are truly breathtaking and I often hunt her down for copies of the images because they are SO good! Highly recommend!
