MY STORY 

 

Hello and thank YOU for being here! My name is Karen and I am the little pocket rocket of a lady behind the lens. Loaded with a big warm smile and camera in hand, I will take you on a fun filled adventure and make you feel so good that all you will be able to do is walk away from your photography session with a smile. My lovely clients describe my photography as natural, warm and candid and I absolutely LOVE hearing their joyful reactions when they receive their galleries. Animal lover and beer enthusiast, I grew up on the South Coast of NSW in a little country town called Berry before travelling north at the age of 23 to relocate on the Tweed Coast where I met my lovely husband and had our son, Blake. A Primary School Teacher turned photo-enthusiast, I studied my Diploma in Photoimaging at a private college on the Gold Coast, graduating in 2012 with Dinstinction. Fast forward to today, my family and I are now lucky enough to call the beautiful Coffs Coast our home. My love affair with Photography has taken me on many adventures and has grown into a wonderful career. You name it, I have probably photographed it - families, couples, pregnancy, newborns, events, real estate, sports, commercial, pets, fashion, model portfolios, headshots, product, and branding. Anyway, enough about me, I’d love to hear about you! Let’s connect and let me tell your story through my lens. K x


Based on the Coffs Coast of NSW, Australia. Available worldwide.
