The Sensual Photographer

Kara is absolutely amazing! I spent a lot of time researching photographers in the Portland area because I wanted the right «fit» between me and the photographer. I found her on Unilocal,and she came with raving reviews. I went to her website first and fell in love with her work. I called her, we chatted about what I was wanting, and she quickly said let’s meet over coffee, so we can discuss more and make sure we both want to work with each other. Perfect.
During our meeting, it was all about me. We went through sample photos. We talked more about outfits, and what I had envisioned doing. Went over pricing (she emailed previous to our meeting). She discussed setting up a private Pinterest account, so I could show her ideas of what I wanted. I never felt rushed. I knew she was the photographer I wanted to work with. So, I picked a date.
With that, came my first assignment: pick several outfits, and then we meet again to look over them, discuss, and she would provide suggestions. This way, there is no scrambling on the day of the shoot.
We met again at the studio, so I could check it out and go over the outfits. She made excellent suggestions and even made suggestions on where to purchase the items in expensively. On to assignment #2.
The day of the shoot: I arrived at the studio, the hair/​makeup artist started working her magic, there was music playing in the background, and Kara sat and visited. We had a blast getting ready. After hair and makeup were done, the artist left, and the shoot began. Just me, Kara, and the camera. Kara made me feel so comfortable and so beautiful. She made great suggestions for poses, props, and smiles (or not). The time flew by!
During the several weeks prior to the shoot, I would text Kara with questions, send her pictures for suggestions/​thoughts, and she was always quick to respond. She truly worked for me the whole time. Not just the day of.
The unveiling of the photos: my boyfriend and I met her at the studio for the unveiling. We sat with Kara and went through all the photos and had narrow it down. That was the hardest thing to do! We wanted them all!
I would highly recommend Kara! She is professional, meticulous about her work, and she is there to work for you. All around, best experience ever. Thank you Kara!

I’ve worked with Kara several times, and each time am blown away at her professionalism and artistic abilities. Whether she’s shooting senior portraits, or bourdoir, she makes you feel very comfortable and welcomed. She listens to what YOU want out of the shoot, as well as offers her opinions in order to make the shot it’s best. She is just lovely, with an open mind and a willingness to please the client! Her work is fabulous too!

Kara is an amazing photographer that I would recommend to anyone for any occasion! She is extremely professional and produces amazing work.

We had such a fun time with our boudoir photos! Kara was not only professional, but she made you feel at ease in an otherwise tender situation. And the photographs turned out spectacular! I highly recommend her work. I even decided to use her for our wedding last summer after working with her for my boudoir photos! I have received many compliments about the artistic expression of our pictures! They truly created a lifetime of memories for my husband and I!
