Meet Karen

Hi, I’m Karen,
I am a professional portrait photographer who works with newborns and families in a calm and relaxing environment to create soulful portraits, to be then featured in beautiful albums and wall art to be treasured for generations.

Married, with the privilege of calling two beautiful children my own. I crave beauty in the positives, in the blessed details, I am intrigued by human connection and pursuing a passionate way to document through my medium of photography.

I am half Italian and that is my excuse for loving too much coffee and pasta…. and wine 😉
Living on our farm, I love the simple life trading my days for memories, soaking up all of the little details along the way.

I love poetry, philosophy, art, a good movie and swinging in my hammock with one of my babes wrapped in my arms listening to the bell birds sing. I fly completely solo, with my beautiful German Shepherd keeping me company.

When not photographing families I am working on a solo personal project creating and selling Fine Art Prints and Wall Art, under the name The Humble Hunter.

I would love to spend some quality one on one time with you and help you create something special, so you can own one day for the rest of your lives.

I can’t wait to meet you.
Karen 🙂

I am all about shooting from the heart. Trusting and allowing myself to integrate my intuition with my technical knowledge and experience. Photographing not only what I see, but also what I feel. Magic happens in the fine balance of working between the head and the heart... where science and art are allowed to dance freely side by side.
