A Gift
“Thank you so much for this opportunity to have Bella photographed. As she has grown older, I have fewer and fewer pictures of her as she manages to evade the camera a lot of the time. You captured a real smile! Oh my heart, yes..... I cried! Truly a gift - thank you is not enough”
— Marieke, 2020 Grad mom
Meaningful
“Karen was completely engaged in making the session meaningful and encouraged the girls to be true to themselves. Karen’s customer service was impeccable throughout- her ongoing communication from booking to the final images and her willingness to extend their session to get the perfect light or best image are some of many attributes that make Karen so special.!”
— Michele, mom to two 2020 Grad’s
Talent & Kindness
“As a 2020 grad, I knew that my grad photos would have to be something special. COVID forced our class to miss so many opportunities, and I wanted to compensate by giving myself memories I could look back with joy. Karen's talent, kindness, sparkly personality, and her eye for beauty left me with both photos and a wonderful experience to remember."
— Ewa, 2020 Grad
FAQs
When should I book?
I typically book grad sessions in the early evening so we have glowy light. Grads book between March and September. If you were thinking of having your grad session during grad weekend please keep in mind that these weekends tend to be busy grads and might not allow for the amount of time to truly relax into a session. However, if you do want to book grad weekend, please note these dates book up very early.
Do I have to have a grad outfit?
Absolutely not, you are welcome to be captured however you feel best. These photos are about you. Also, some people who do have a grad outfit also choose to get changed and have some photos in more casual outfits.
Can my family be in the photos? What about my friends?
I am happy to have your family step in for some photos. However, if you are wanting the session to be primarily about family, please book a family session. If you are wanting group grad photos please let me know and I will provide a custom quote.
Do we get to keep the digital files?
Yes, you receive the digital files from your family portrait. I currently do not offer printing, however I believe strongly in the value of the printed photo. So, expect to receive tips from me on how and where to print your photos and why it is so important.
Where will we photograph?
Once you book, I will be in touch with you and together, we will find a spot that is meaningful to the grad.
