Hello There, I’m Karen.

Your Trusted Choice Among Central Illinois Photographers

With over 12 years of experience as one of the leading Central Illinois photographers, I specialize in capturing your unique beauty—be it personal or professional.

As a seasoned professional among Central Illinois photographers, I’ve had the privilege of capturing the essence of women and men from all walks of life.

MY MANIFESTO

What sets me apart from other Central Illinois photographers is that I specializing in women empowerment. I take a session and turn it into a declaration of Y-O-U.

“Wow, I didn’t know I looked like that.”These words, along with a firsthand encounter witnessing a picture’s ability to take my own insecurities and replace them with tangible truth was a pivotal moment in my life. These words solidified my purpose. They created in me, an all-consuming fire to help young people see beyond the false truths that they often believe.

The ocean

Psalm 139:14

I capture your reality, freeze it in time, and create a visible reminder of who you are.

I achieve this by getting your mind off of what isn’t and providing you physical proof of what is. By partnering together, I’ll seek out what makes you unique, and bring it to the surface. Then, I will present to you a collection of images that represents the true YOU. Together, we will showcase your personal beauty, the true authenticity that only you bring into this world. 

Awards

Beauty isn’t determined by the complexion of our skin, the nose on our face, or perfectly shaped brows. It’s personal, unique and authentic to you. Beauty radiates from your soul. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.
