"Her work is stunning; the photos captured genuine emotion, beautiful
details, and the essence of our wedding which turned out to be a perfect
day. We especially loved the candid one but there were so many amazing
pictures that we just wanna print all of them! I called her my wedding fairy
godmother and picking her was one of the best decisions we could’ve
made."

"It was such a treat to look at our photographs with our family, we laughed, we
cried, and then laughed and cried some more!! We got to relive moments
that we missed or may have forgotten, and it was so special. She is an amazing photographer and photos that I thought I wouldn't like turned
out to be some of my most favorite."

"Karen's approach is not just professional but also incredibly personal.
She took the time to get to know us, which made all the difference in
the comfort and authenticity of our photos. Her ability to catch those
candid, loving moments is unmatched, and her vivid, artistic style truly
brought the beauty of our venue and our joy to life."
-Clarissa & Aaron
Growing up, my family didn’t have a single professional photo taken. We have albums and albums filled with crooked and out of focus candid photos of us laughing, crying, giving pouty looks, and even sleeping. While I will always cherish these photos, they’re not exactly worthy of framing and displaying on the walls in my home. And the worst part about most of these photos–one of us is always missing! Hey, someone has to be the one to take the photo, right?
I graduated from UCSB with a double-major in Communication and Sociology, and decided to put my studies to use by creating my own
photography business in 2010. I enjoy every moment of taking photos, but nothing is more rewarding than seeing the looks on people’s faces when they see their photos and re-live their special occasion.
I split my time between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, and often travel globally to capture love stories. I am fortunate to be able to meet new people and be there for their most amazing and extraordinary experiences. Hopefully, I get to share a wonderful experience with you!
