Meaningful CONNECTION,
INTENTIONALLY Preserved

Based in Michigan
Hello, I’m Kara! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in West Michigan, and I’m always ready to travel to wherever your story unfolds. I care deeply about documenting people as they are with a timeless, true-to-color style. I’m drawn to human connection and the subtle moments that reveal it — real presence, genuine emotion, and the quiet in-between details that carry the most meaning. It’s a privilege to create something people can hold onto for years, and this is what keeps me in love with this work.
When I’m not behind the camera, I enjoy cozy evenings with friends, meaningful conversation, and experimenting with new baking recipes. I’m inspired by simple, honest moments in life, and that same perspective guides the way I photograph yours.
Michigan Wedding Photographer
“I could not have asked for a better experience or person to work with when choosing a photographer for my wedding."
"Kara did the most amazing job with our wedding and far exceeded my expectations. I am IN LOVE with my pictures. Sneak peeks and the full album came faster than expected and I was in love with every one. She is the sweetest and most dedicated person that loves capturing your moment. Cannot recommend her enough!”
The Experience
It’s normal to feel uneasy in front of a camera. Everything shifts when presence takes priority over perfection and you allow yourself to simply exist in the moment. That’s when the images that matter most come to life.
Your day and your love aren’t just another job or transaction. They matter deeply to me, and my approach is always grounded in connection and care. I’m there to guide when needed, but also to create space for you to feel relaxed, present, and fully yourself.
When you get your photos back, they’re more than just pictures. They’re a way to feel your day again — the joy, the laughter, and the moments you might have missed. Through it all, I hope it feels like a friend was right there with you, paying attention and capturing your story exactly as it happened.
“Best photographer ever!! "
I found Kara through Instagram, and I am so glad I did because she was a true pleasure to work with. Kara was also so kind and so easy to be around – my husband and I immediately felt at ease and comfortable around her! I cannot recommend her enough, she is truly the best!”
