“Check out Karen’s work. Her portraits are both iconic and deeply expressive.”
WALTER SCHMIDT, FILMMAKER
Time keeps flying by…
ime has a tendency to zoom by, and we completely understand how busy life can get. With chores, travel, event planning, and a mountain of responsibilities, it’s easy to see how your calendar fills up quickly.
As time goes on, your phone collects hundreds of photos, but the chance to gather everyone for a family portrait often gets postponed. Before you realize it, it might have been years since you last took a picture with everyone together. You may have a plethora of images, but they often lack the warmth of those cherished moments you wish to display in your living space.
Hello, I’m Karen your professional portrait artist and I’m so glad you’re here!

With an unwavering commitment to artistry and a refined approach to style, I specialize in creating custom-curated portrait experiences that prioritize quality over quantity. Each session is thoughtfully designed to capture your unique essence, offering a deeply personal and intimate experience where your preferences guide every detail. The result is a collection of exquisite, timeless portraits that will enhance your home and office for years to come.
I offer a range of portrait options, including, experiential, singles, couples, maternity, families, extended families including Fido, children, high school seniors, senior citizens and end-of-life portraits for pets and your dear loved ones—each portrait crafted to grace your walls and living spaces with emotion and elegance. Should your chosen collection exceed your wall space, I will design a bespoke album to showcase your memories in a way that is as distinctive as you are.
To ensure the highest level of attention, I accept only a select number of clients each year. My calendar fills quickly, so please don’t hesitate to secure your exclusive consultation today. I would love to put you at ease and explore with you how we will create extraordinary memories, together.

Our Favorite Printing Options

WALL ART
This artwork is designed to accompany you for many years, becoming a cherished part of your family heritage. It shines brightest when displayed on a prominent wall or in a spacious area.

SERIES 9
Nothing captures your memories quite like a printed photo, but we understand that sometimes you want to showcase more than just one moment. This is a fantastic way to highlight all the different sides of their personality.

STORYTELLER
Highlight their unique personalities with a personalized piece that features three carefully selected images capturing dynamic moments! It’s an ideal choice for smaller spaces, such as hallways and entryways.

SQUARE
This is a series that focuses on relationships. It’s an ideal way to showcase unique images that deserve recognition, even if they aren’t suitable for a big wall portrait.

HEIRLOOM ALBUMS
Our heirloom albums are an ideal solution for preserving all your cherished photos that you may not have room to showcase. You can relive every special moment in one beautiful album.

Now more than ever, portraits are incredibly important.
A lot of people fail to recognize the value of gathering together to create a portrait that they can treasure daily. Instead, they often turn to the digital images on their phones to remember their loved ones, rather than having a beautiful self-portrait to showcase.
We are dedicated to making the portrait process as simple, enjoyable, and FUN as possible! We focus on capturing the unique and genuine essence of you and your family.
Our portraits are designed to be loved and displayed on your walls for generations. We want you to celebrate every milestone with artwork that stands the test of time.
