As a former teacher for 20 years, I believe a child's self-esteem is the most important, so my focus is to provide an experience and bring that into your images.
I am a wife and a mom to 2 college kids and my dog, Millie, so I understand what it's like to have high school seniors and what a busy year it is. I will provide excellent service to guide you through the whole planning process so you can be stress free for this part of your senior year!
I am also proud and honored to be published in the "Best of 2021 Senior Year Magazine", "Senior Year Magazine - Guys Only Addition", chosen as a "Top 100 Photographers Across the Globe", and featured in Gilbert Thrive Newspaper and a magazine article in "Shoutout Arizona".
You can find me always watching a great sunset, drinking a Chai Latte or a red wine and spending time with my family, hiking or watching movies.
I love to bake pies and frosted sugar cookies are my specialty!
These are my favorite people in the world!
I love any craft from scrapbooking, decorating my home to creating festive table settings!
I love being out in nature, hiking, mountain biking and watching sun sets! My husband and I met on a mountain bike ride too.
“Thank you for an amazing and positive experience! You put my daughter at ease and she left the gardens last night feeling beautiful!

"Kara made our daughter’s senior portrait experience enjoyable from start to finish… scheduling, location, wardrobe, photo viewing etc. I enjoyed watching Kara interact with my daughter to create natural expressions that brought out her personality.

"Kara has done senior portraits for two of my sons and it was the BEST experience! She is super FUN and she makes every photo session unique. The action shots she took for my sons' sporting events are AMAZING! Kara has creative and WONDERFUL ideas that really make your photos one-of-a-kind. She truly loves what she does and goes the extra mile to capture memories that will last a lifetime!
