Hey there, I'm Karen.

Photographing people in love and those they love is what brings me life and joy! My three teenagers keep me going and laughing. My best friend and husband, Kevin and I met because he fell from a building. Ask me about it some time! I am an empathetic cryer and have been known to shed a tear at practically every wedding I shoot.

Some random things about me: I was a studio art major at the University of Northwestern and secretly loved critique day. I love the month of July and waterslides. I hate heights, but have been bridge jumping and cliff jumping to try to overcome my fears. (Neither worked, and skydiving is not in the cards.) Reese's butter cups, red wine, Fika coffee, girl time, hot summer days, cheeze puffs, Minnesota lakes, the warm state of Florida, genuineness, loyalty, and authenticity are all things I love. Most of my clients become my friends and when we meet you are guaranteed a hug at some point!

I have been documenting people in love, and those they love for over two decades and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Shoot me an e-mail or a call. I can not wait to document your love story!
