SO WHO AM I?
xo, Kari
My goal for your session is to be your biggest help in it running stress-free and smooth. I'll be more than your photographer, but also your friend and sidekick! I want to capture all of the thought out details of your event, all of the emotions at your family session, and most importantly, tell your story of your event or business branding! My job is to document the most important parts of your business, family, or event.
I want to be YOUR BIGGEST HYPE PERSON...

Won the best of the knot
After years of hard work between two full time jobs, I finally quit my full time corporate job and went all in on the business. I won Best of the Knot Hall of Fame! I finally fell into my groove with shooting, discovering my style, running a business and having the best time doing it.
2014
STARTED MY BUSINESS
While I was still working a full time job, I decided to start my LLC and begin taking on real clients! It was very scary to me, but was also fun at the same time. I shot concerts, family, portraits, and eventually added weddings to my photography resume. Also to note, this is when I adopted my first fur baby Liam!
2012
I moved to Hawaii-Alohaaaa!
My bf and I moved to Hawaii, because...why not! I didn't have a job which was nerve wracking. But I got my first full time job in wedding photography with a local company. We shot lots of weddings and I learned cinema as well. Working here helped me learn the ins and outs of a successful photography business. While living here I won Hawaii Photographer of the year at Raw Awards, and I got a nice tan ;)
2002
I got my first film camera
My parents suprised me with my first camera! I used this camera to cover live concerts and practice my very newbie skills in portrait photography. I bribed family and friends to be my models so that I could practice and get better. :)
