About Karen



 

 

Hi!  I’m Karen and I have been capturing spontaneous, fun, true and natural wedding day memories for more than 17 years.  My photos tell the story of a wedding – your wedding.
 
I has been a professional photographer for 17 years based in Little Rock, Arkansas.  More importantly, I am photojournalist.  As a staff photographer for Arkansas’ largest newspaper, I have traveled throughout the country as well as abroad documenting the lives of others.  I have now turned my documentary skills towards weddings.  
 
I was born and raised in New Orleans and graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1995 with a degree specializing in photojournalism.
I am member of the National Press Photographers Association since 1994 and from 2004-2009, I served on their Board of Director’s.
I am also proud member of the Wedding Photojournalists Association where I am an International Award-Winning wedding photographer.  I am member of the prestigious The International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers.  But in the end, paper awards don’t really mean that much to me.  What matters most – what ONLY matters – is that I have happy clients.  Check out my Reviews page to find out how happy they are.
 
Working for a newspaper has taught me one very important lesson — be ready before the moment happens.  Because with a wedding – your wedding – there are no do-overs.  Sure, you can recreate just about any moment, but it’s just not the same.  
 
Customer service is also very important to me.  I hate feeling blown off, brushed aside or made to feel less than important.  It’s crucial to me to give my clients to best possible customer service.  Therefore, I accept fewer than 25 weddings per year. If I’m available today, I might be booked next week.  My wedding dates book up quickly so please don’t hesitate to contact me to inquire about your wedding date.    
 
I also have the greatest husband ever who is by best friend and my worst critic. He won’t settle for mediocrity and he is always pushing me to be a better photographer.  My two children have four legs each….two really fat cats. I hope to hear from you soon.
