Hello! I'm Kari! {Waves}


  • I'm a preservationist for memories!
  • I have a major obsession with animals, especially baby animals. 
  • I have two huskies named Liam and Madden! But they will answer to any of the following nicknames: Liambear, Maddenbear, Handsome, Boo Bears, Bubs, Precious Baby Angels, Fluffiest Men in all the land.
  • I have the most supportive and lovely man by my side. 
  • I will listen to sappy music while I edit your wedding. It puts me in a romantical mood. 
  • If you put on "Africa" by Toto, I will sing along at the top of my lungs! (Lung...Fun fact: I have one working lung, but that doesn't stop me from climbing mountains with you two!).



So who am i?

Let's be friends! =)

xo, Kari

My goal for your wedding day is to be your biggest help in it running stress-free and smooth. I'll be more than your photographer, but also your wedding superhero sidekick! I want to capture all of the thought out details, all of the family emotions, and most importantly, the two of you love birds! My job is to document the sweetness between the two of you, so that you can remember how you felt on that special day, and relive it over and over again for years.

I want to be YOUR BIGGEST HYPE PERSON...

Won the best of the knot

After years of hard work between two full time jobs, I finally quit my full time corporate job and went all in on the business. I won Best of the Knot Hall of Fame! I finally fell into my groove with shooting, discovering my style, running a business and having the best time doing it.

2014

STARTED MY BUSINESS

While I was still working a full time job, I decided to start my LLC and begin taking on real clients! It was very scary to me, but was also fun at the same time. I shot concerts, family, portraits, and eventually added weddings to my photography resume. Also to note, this is when I adopted my first fur baby Liam! 

2012

I moved to Hawaii-Alohaaaa!

My bf and I moved to Hawaii, because...why not! I didn't have a job which was nerve wracking. But I got my first full time job in wedding photography with a local company. We shot lots of weddings and I learned cinema as well. Working here helped me learn the ins and outs of a successful photography business. While living here I won Hawaii Photographer of the year at Raw Awards, and I got a nice tan ;)

2002

I got my first film camera

My parents suprised me with my first camera! I used this camera to cover live concerts and practice my very newbie skills in portrait photography. I bribed family and friends to be my models so that I could practice and get better. :)
