HI GUYS! I'm Kara & I am so glad you're here!

If you love Friends and How I Met Your Mother, we’re basically soulmates. But wait, you’ve found your soulmate, so maybe we can be bracelet buddies? I’m a mix of Chandler Bing and Phoebe Buffay (9W8 if you’re an enneagram fan) while also channeling my inner Lily. Almost every real life moment makes me think of an episode of Friends.

Okay okay, you get it, I’m a little Friends and HIMYM obsessed. Besides that, I’m a Jesus loving, in the car singing, coffeeshop going, Coca Cola drinking, food obsessed, nonstop traveler. I wish I could be the third Gilmore Girl. I may not drink nearly as much coffee as they do (chai for liiife), I spend almost as much time in coffeeshops, can eat as much junk food (pizza, sushi, donuts, In-N-Out) as they do and am sarcastic as heck (get it from my dad!).

I said it before, my dance skills are basically horrible, and I definitely can’t sing, but I absolutely love belting out the soundtrack of Hamilton while driving all over (yep I’m down to do engagement photos in Malibu even though I live in south OC). When I’m not traveling to New York, California is my home base. You can find me at some of my favorite spin studios (Grit/Moxi3) 3-4 times a week (hit me up if you want to join!).

The words I use to describe my photography style are:

LIFESTYLE CANDID RAW REAL

I specialize in lifestyle photography and capture real, raw, once in a lifetime moments. My main goal is to capture and tell your story, which means a majority of the photos I take are candid, rarely posed and unforced. My goal is for you to enjoy your day and love these photos for years to come. I never want you to look back and think “all we did was take photos!”

If you think you’re awkward in front of the camera, let me tell you… I’m awkward in front of the camera. Every single couple says the same thing, “We’re really awkward.” Yep even that couple whose photos you want yours looking at right now thinking… I hope ours look that good! Oh they will look that good!! Those fun, full of life photos happen because 1) I’ve been doing this a long time and can help you look awesome as heck with prompts that bring out candid, natural moments, and 2) you two are in love, which makes my job easy!

If this all sounds rad to you, fill out the contact form & let's set a time to chat more about your photography needs!
