Hey there, my name’s Karla! Long story short, I first picked up the camera when I was pregnant with my second child. It started out as a hobby, me capturing my kids doing silly things at home and friends at social gatherings. I soon realized, hey, this is what I want to do for as long as I live! There’s nothing I love more than taking photos of my children. I’m probably a bother to them when they are getting ready in the mornings or eating cereal, and I have my camera in their face saying, “Smile!” But in all honestly, I know these moments won’t last forever. I want to capture these memories. Even if my kids shoo me away, I can always look back on these and remember "the good old days". And this is what I love doing for others. These moments in your life last for an instant. I aim to capture those smiles, those giggles, those looks, and make those last forever.

There’s power in a picture because they help us understand and teach history. People connect with images and it shows how life was before the present time. How things used to look, what people wore, where they stayed, animals and many things about the world are passed on generationally through images.

MY HOMETOWN

I have a lot of different roles in my day to day life, as I’m sure you do too. From parenting my kids to trying to keep my garden growing over summer, I’ve always got something to do. My family enjoys spending time together, especially on our hiking trips. Documenting my family's personal milestones is my greatest passion.
