Raise your hand if you are also obsessed with all things enneagram?! 🙋‍♀️ I’m a 3, otherwise known as the “Achiever”. I’m confident, ambitious, and goal-oriented. Being productive and meeting my goals is important to me. I LOVE it when people tell me I’m doing a good job. My biggest fear at work is failing, or not being successful…

I miss the days when I could photograph clients so much! Since we’re on lockdown here, I’ll keep myself busy creating systems and fixing up the studio until then. I couldn't be more excited for when we reopen because that means I get to do what I love most! Watching your children grow in photos is so exciting, and getting those portraits…

My heart swelled to about double in size when a Google Review from this sweet family landed in my inbox. “Karen has photographed my family 6 times in the last 8 years. Since our very first experience with her, Karen has been warm and kind to all of us in a way that allows us to feel and then look comfortable and natural in our photographs…

Sometimes we have to choose to play it safe or take a risk. I took a big risk today! I enrolled in a mentorship with Brittany Elise Photography. I chose to get out of my comfort zone. I decided to take the risk because even though I’ve spent 15 years building this business, I will always be a student. There is always more to learn. It isn’t easy to run your…

I can barely decide what to make for dinner tonight, so the question about where I want to be in five years is always tricky. Here’s what I do know: My four kids will be 15, 17, 18, and 25. My youngest will be starting high school and our fun and silly time together will be much more limited. Driving lessons will be scheduled, and we’ll probably have a…

Spring and fall family portrait sessions are some of my most popular sessions. I realized that I wanted to focus on newborn & family photography early on. I specialize in both because that way I can become your photographer for life. If you are looking for a lovely wall display or family photo album, then let's chat more! I'd love to give you more…

No one in the world cares as much about the life you live, the work you create, and the dreams you chase, then you. So you might as well go live the life you love, create things you love, and work on things you are passionate about. Push past what others might think is even possible. And create a life you love. This is Shayna, Tom, and their kids…

This right here is why I love what I do so much. The joy I see in a child’s eyes when they’re playing or cuddling with a parent. For as long as I can remember, I've been passionate about photography and couldn't imagine myself doing anything else. To me, there's nothing better than spending my day helping a family choose the perfect wardrobe…

Surround yourself with people who dream as big as you do. It's so important that when you look for the right photographer, you find one who's vision lines up with yours. Someone who's excited to work with you and dreams just as big. When it comes to working as a photographer, I realized early on how important it was to connect to the…

When I'm not running my photography business, I'm caring for my children, plants, or animals, a cup of tea in hand. Balancing between being a photographer and a parent is no easy task. It does make this journey even more fun though. Although it always feels like a balancing act, they complement each other in a beautiful way…

I haven't introduced myself on here for a while so I thought I'd do that again. A big warm hello to you! My name is Karen (but not the annoying kind 😉) and I'm the dreamer behind Reflections of Life Photography. When I was in elementary school I fell in love with photography after bringing my 110 mm camera to school and documenting…

This is Hayley & Daniel. They wanted to capture their first pregnancy in photographs that showed their connection to each other and their baby. Images that were candid and told a story, with beautiful light and energy in them. It was raining that day, but it let off a couple of hours before we began our photoshoot. We started off at the beach and…
