    Outstanding work and experience!

    My husband and I have the unique privilege of having had Karen photograph our engagement, our elopement, and our wedding celebration. Each milestone was special, and we have been so lucky to have Karen with us on this journey.

    Karen’s talent and style is easily apparent in the photos she takes, and her ability to capture human emotion—especially joy—is outstanding. We’ve been so happy with the images we received back, and for all events, we’ve always received sneak peeks in record time.

    As an individual, Karen is caring, communicative, and just overall fun to work with. We’ve recommended several of our engaged friends to her, and we’ve loved seeing how she has captured their celebrations as well. I can’t say enough good things about Karen; she always puts me at ease when it comes to being photographed and always brings happy tears to my eyes when the photos come back!

    Kirsch Creative's reply:

    You are a gem, Ardith! I'm so honored to have been at each milestone. You and John have such a wonderful life together ahead!

    Above and beyond!

    Karen and I met several years ago at our workplace and have been friends since. When my now-husband and I got engaged, I pretty much knew we would be hiring Karen to be our photographer.

    Besides being an all-around awesome person, Karen is quite talented. Her photography style is incredibly artistic, and she brings out our best sides. We've now had the pleasure of working with her for both our engagement shoot and our elopement shoot--and whenever our big wedding celebration ends up happening, Karen will be there, too. Our elopement sneak peeks arrived quickly, and they're so good!

    She's a photographer that has an eye for detail and can help coach you through posing, so if you have any hesitation being photographed, know you will be in good hands with Karen. She's also extremely easy to work with, being communicative, flexible, and friendly. I would sing her praises from the top of Mount Baker if I were any good at singing, so for now, I'll just say that I can't say enough great things about how fun it has been to be able to work with her!

    Kirsch Creative's reply:

    Ardith, your words truly have left me speechless. I feel like singing how much I love YOU from the top of Mount Baker. Maybe we can start a mediocre girl band? Haha. I truly cannot thank you enough for allowing me to be a part of this special time in your and John's life. It's been a journey and I have loved creating with you at every single step!

    When you want your photographer to be your BFF

    Karen was so thoughtful in the way she approached our wedding. She took the time to get to know us, calmed a bride all the way on the East Coast, and captured our most amazing memories. Candid shots? She’s got you. Help posing? On it.

    Karen presence added to the party- it didn’t distract from it. She even helped the fellas stick to the timeline when they were getting ready!

    Kirsch Creative's reply:

    OH! Anna, you and Byron are such a joy to work with ... I wish we could do it all over again. Your kind words mean more to me than you know :)

    We used Karen for our maternity shoot. She was utterly amazing. She is kind and spirited- really taking the time to make us feel comfortable (which from experience can be a challenge when getting your picture taken). She took the time to get to really know us prior to our session and really took everything we said into consideration. She met us at the place that we not only got engaged but also had gotten married. We figured we couldn't have picked a better venue than there to capture the last few moments before our little lady is born. We loved Karen's vibe and ability to really help us really relax. She was prompt in all aspects of our experience- especially in regards to returning emails and picture turn around time. We got so many photos! It was hard to pick our favorites to share with friends and family. We look forward to using Karen again in the future to capture many more moments as our family continues to grow. She would be an excellent choice for any event, milestone or just because moments you want captured.

    Karen is fantastic! Her work is beautiful and and she really cares about what _you_ want your photos to express. She's also a hoot to work with. She's done several shoots for me and each one has been low-stress and fun and feels authentic to my personality and lifestyle. Karen is down-to-earth but also a little goofy, composed and professional without being stuffy; her affability puts people at ease, even if you "always hate having your picture taken." And did I mention artful, timeless photos? You won't be disappointed :)

    Karen was such a pleasure to work with. She met with us beforehand to learn about us as a couple and what our needs were at our wedding. We had a unique wedding, and she was completely receptive to every wish. She stayed very "behind the scenes" but captured every candid moment we could've hoped for. I couldn't have been more pleased with our beautiful photos. Thank you, Karen!

    Every year when summer arrives we contact Karen to schedule a family photo session. We've been doing this for several years and it has become a tradition, each time at a different location. Karen has a unique gift for communication. From the first time we met her, when our kids were very young, Karen was able to instantly connect with all of us, and we always have lots of fun during the session. Karen always succeeds in capturing our family dynamics in interesting, colorful and memorable ways. She has an exceptional eye for meaningful compositions. We are always thrilled to receive the photos and look back at those from previous years.

    Oh how I loved my wedding, but my favorite moments with Karen were with her capturing my maternity pictures and family pictures with both of my sons. She nailed it in all of them!!! She is wonderful to work with and fabulous with kids. Amazing photographer!! I feel so lucky to have her capturing all my important life moments! You can really feel the love and passion she has for this when she is taking photos!

    I've used Karen's services countless times in my business and for personal photos. She goes above any beyond (ALWAYS) to understand exactly what I want, to make me feel comfortable, and each session feels like I'm just hanging out with a friend. She has amazing perspective on what will really "pop" and is great at making the female body look beautiful in photos. I love working with her!

    Karen’s photography skill not only transpires while she’s behind the camera but in front. She is personable; making the poses come easy and smiles effortless. She is willing to work with her clients and show them exactly what to do and when you least expect it, she gets the shot. All of our wedding photos are beautiful. The colors bright and images captured what we were feeling. Karen is an amazing wedding photographer and I will recommend her to anyone.

    Best photography experience I've ever had!

    Working with Karen has completely rewritten my story about having my photo taken. I used to feel intimidated and awkward and super uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Karen helped me to feel totally relaxed and I actually had a blast during our shoot. And best of all, I LOVE the images she captured! We just scheduled our third photoshoot with her, and will continue to work with and recommend her enthusiastically!

    Kirsch Creative's reply:

    Oh Chelsea! You are the best. Working with you is always a pleasure. Thank you so much for your kind words. Can't wait to see you, Todd, and Poppy next week!
