“Is anyone sitting there?!” I said while balancing a plate of food and glass of wine.
He said “No, it’s all yours.”
And I cheered a silent ‘hoooray!’ because I was starving, and the wine was free. So far my day of solo travel had only occasionally been haunted by that painful kind of awkward. You know, the kind that almost always comes along with navigating new environments and experiences. And, dang, dare I say this was shaping up to be a good night.
I honestly can’t remember how the next bit went. But I quite quickly came to the realization that I had parked my clueless little self right beside the star of the show….
OK, so here's the thing, this is really uncomfortable to talk about but I am going to anyways because I think these days transparency is everything. So here we go (let's hope I don't make a mess of this). Why is professional photography 'expensive'?
So you just had an amazing brand photography session done (insert happy dance here!). Now it’s time to put your images to work! We often suggest that you plan to sprinkle them into your social media to really make them last. Perhaps put a few on your website, but then what? Well the good news is that this beautiful collection of photos that aligns so powerfully with your brand both visually and emotionally can be used in so many other ways! We put a lot of effort into making sure your photo sessions tell your unique brand story and are absolute workhorses for your biz. It’s super important to us that you get the most use out of you one-of-a-kind as you possibly can. Heck, even if you took the initiative to create a set of brand photos yourself (bravo!), we still want your efforts maximized. Our mantra is 100% work smarter, not harder. So let’s go…

What happens when two sister’s head off into the desert with a tiny teardrop trailer and a killer road-trip playlist?! Magic, my friend. Pure magic. I am so excited to share everything about our adventure, from the creepiest night in a tiny Montana town, to the unbelievably beautiful abandoned mid-century motel that used to be frequented by celebrities like Harrison Ford!. If you love the desert as much as I do, you are going to love coming along on this wee adventure with us. Or heck, just come for the beautiful desert art!!!

I am very, very happy to share with you today some photos of a few of my most favorite people. The DeGroot's are an amazing family, each and every one them have hearts as big as they come and a Faith that is truly inspiring. When Heidi (one of my very best-est friends!) asked if I would be interested in shooting some family photos for their Parent's 30th Anniversary I was super excited. We were a bit limited when it came to locations because of the cold and Ryan's wheelchair, but honestly it wouldn't have mattered where we shot the photos; it really is their joy and love for each other that makes these photos amazing. I really hope you guys love the photos and that they will become a keepsake and an awesome memory =) Can't wait to send you the rest! LOVE YOU!! ENJOY!!Truly,KarmenP.S. Thanks to another favorite person and best-est friend, JO!

Hey Everybody!!! First of all I just want to say thanks so much to all of you who keep coming back to check out my new work and welcome to anyone who is here for the first time =) All the input and encouragement I have received from all of you over the past year has seriously helped shape my photography and keeps me working hard to become a better photographer with every shoot! I am so passionate about what I do and I absolutely love photographing people who are passionate about their photographs, as well as their event. Ben & Danielle were one of those amazing couples! It was easy to tell that so much thought and planning went into their beautiful wedding, they even managed to choose probably the most gorgeous day in October. The entire day was basked in a low, golden sunlight that seriously enriched their photos with such a romantic, natural feel.Danielle is an amazing artist and you could see her creativity mirrored throughout their entire wedding. From the decorations to the amazing bouquets, most of the details in their big day were handmade or purchased off of the fantastic online handmade & vintage market place, Etsy, including Danielle's dress which is a replica of the one Zooey Deschanel {I adore her!!} wears in 500 Days of Summer {one of my most favorite movies!!}. Throughout the entire day I found I was so easily inspired by the two of them and am sooo thrilled with the photos. Check it out for yourself! What do you think?? ENJOY!!Truly,KarmenP.S. Don't forget to check out their awesome photobooth!!!P.P.S. Brendan & Jo, thanks so much for assisting =) You guys are seriously the best!
