“We couldn't be happier with Kara as our wedding photographer! From the beginning she completely understood our vision and was willing to do whatever it took to get the pictures that we wanted. She was so friendly and warm, and honestly every time we met with her it just felt like hanging out with a friend. Our pictures for both our engagement shoot and wedding were stunning. We got TONS of compliments on Kara's personable and professional demeanor all day at the wedding. Kara is the real deal - our pictures are incredible and she made the whole day so easy for us. I would happily recommend her to anyone that I know.”

Whether I'm editing in my Kankakee home office or photographing weddings throughout Chicagoland and beyond, this job is my joy.  From the moment your first email lands in my inbox to photographing your engagement session and wedding day to the very moment your custom leather wedding album is in your hands, I guide you through every step of the wedding photography experience.

I promise I’m not your average wedding photographer.

“Kara is the best to work with. She isn’t just a photographer she is your support, advice, insight, and backbone. When you first meet her you will instantly feel comfort, almost like you’ve known each other for years. She made us so comfortable during the engagement session and the wedding day. Her organization is out of this world and she delivers a first class service. I will mention that she is the most timely human you will ever meet. The pictures are just UNREAL!”
