A wedding & lifestyle photographer by day, and an avid Criminal Minds and diet coke lover by night. I've had a camera in hand as long as I can remember, but it wasn't until I joined my high school's yearbook staff that what began as a hobby turned into my passion. I fell in love with capturing real, authentic moments through my camera lens- I want to help document your story as it is. Let's capture memories you'll show your grandkids one day.

"I feel so lucky to have had Kari photograph my husband and I."
- Kiana
"I’ve never felt more beautiful or comfortable in front of a camera. She hyped us up the entire time, guided us with posing in such a natural way, and made the whole experience feel easy and fun. When I got our photos back, I cried—they are so special. Her editing is absolutely stunning, and every single image feels meaningful and true to us. I especially love the mix of intimate close-ups and the wider shots that capture the beauty of the landscape around us. These photos are something we will treasure forever."

"I WALKED AWAY FROM OUR SESSION A BIGGER FAN THAT I WAS BEFORE WE BOOKED"
- Reagan
"Kari took portraits of my husband and I and I walked away from our session a bigger fan than I was before we booked. Kari is so sweet and humble and has such an incredible creative eye. Our session was so fun and the photos we received are my favorite photos we’ve ever had taken. If you have a vision, she’ll execute it with perfection and include her own spin on things. I can’t say enough good things about Kari and her art :)"

"I had such a wonderful experience working with Kari for our couples photos."
- Julia
"From the very beginning, she was friendly, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. She really took the time to look through my Pinterest inspiration board and used it to bring my vision to life — the final photos felt exactly like what I had imagined. She was prompt, efficient, and made the entire process feel seamless. Most importantly, she helped us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which truly shows in the photos. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone talented and professional."

"From the moment we met her, her sweet and bubbly personality put us completely at ease."
- Tori R
"Kari was absolutely amazing to work with for our engagement photos! You can truly feel her love for Jesus shine through in the way she cares for her clients and approaches her work, it made the whole experience even more meaningful. She made everything feel so natural and effortless. My fiancé Danny usually isn’t a fan of posing for photos, but Kari guided us so well by setting little “scenes” that helped us relax and just be ourselves. Kari made the entire process such a breeze, and we genuinely had so much fun. We’re so grateful for the beautiful memories she captured and the joyful experience she created for us. I truly cannot wait for her to photograph our wedding!"
