ed. Kara is very low-key and did not overpose or stage us -- I knew she would make my husband and I feel comfortable. Our friends all agreed, it was the most relaxing, low-key wedding photo experience any of us had ever had. The photos were ready for me when I got back from my honeymoon and they looked beautiful.

Kara was great to work with and makes you feel relaxed in front of the camera. She is easy to communicate and schedule with and turns around the photos in a very timely manner. She did a great job capturing the fun dance party at our reception....

We will cherish our photos for many years to come.
