It’s almost Mother’s Day again. After another year of COVID-19 where many mothers have felt pushed to their limits like never before, I want us all to promise each other we will celebrate it well this year. Celebrate each other, celebrate with each other, and most importantly, celebrate yourself. Why? Because Mama, we all need a hot minute to…

These past few weeks have been amazing and exhausting. I've served so many amazing families this year. The walls of my client's homes are so full of memories. And now it's time to take a short break for the holidays. All too often we look at our days and think to ourselves we don't have enough hours in the day. When really we need to…

Most people don't know this, but I actually started my business as a photographer because of a longing to remember. When I was a single mom with my first of four babies, my sister came over with her camera. She took great photos of my daughter and I remember thinking of how much I missed the photography and darkroom classes I took in high…

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…

I just wanted to write a blog post to tell you something. I love you! (Not in a romantic way, but in a strictly platonic manner, of course!) Now, I know it sounds cheesy. It may even sound weird to you. I thought long and hard about whether I should send this email out because it does seem pretty random. But I’m going to say it anyway…

I have a quick question that I need your opinion on. I hope you don’t mind! I am asking you this because I want to serve you better and your feedback helps SO much! I recently asked a client and her answer blew my mind. She told me that having wardrobe, hair & makeup was great, but what she loved most was how comfortable I helped…

Today, I'll be sharing with you three reasons why you should work with me. More importantly, today I will help you to make a solid decision of whether you want to get in…

There is something about holding the hands of an infant. Wondering what those hands will create and whose they will hold. Thinking about that brings to life that their lives are unfolding before us. Even now, that potential bursts through every corner of their existence. And if we lean into it, we can see their dreams being awakened in each…

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…
