Meet Kare


More than a photographer. I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a best friend, cancer survivor, small-business owner, and your biggest cheerleader. I love to support and encourage others, and what better way to do so than from behind my lens. 


My work is emotive, editorial, and deeply rooted in storytelling. I document love with an artful eye and a gentle approach, capturing fleeting glances, quiet moments and joyful connections. Every session is designed to honor your story, create timeless memories, and offer an experience that feels deeply personal.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is my first photo session, what should I know?

First of all, welcome! I am here to make sure your session feels fun, relaxed, and completely stress-free.

I'll guide with simple prompts and gentle posing so you never feel awkward or unsure. My goal is to help you feel confident and comfortable, so we can capture genuine moments that reflect your personality and connection. Show up and I will take care of the rest!

What does the booking process look like?

Booking your session is simple and personalized from start to finish. Once you reach out, I’ll send over a welcome email with all the details, session options, and pricing.

I will send you a questionnaire to get to know you better. We'll choose a date, finalize your contract, and secure your spot with a retainer. I’m here to answer any questions along the way, and I’ll make sure you feel confident and excited before we even start shooting. Every step is designed to be clear, supportive, and stress-free.

Are travel fees or special permit fees included in your pricing?

Travel is included for full sessions within 20 miles of Woodbridge, VA.

Mini sessions are excluded from this coverage. Some locations may require a special photography permit. These fees are not included in my pricing, as they vary by location.

Travel and permit fees apply only to full sessions and will be clearly communicated during the booking process to ensure transparency and ease.

How do I know which session to choose, a mini session or a full session?

Mini sessions are short and sweet, typically 15 minutes long, and held seasonally at a fixed location and time. They’re scheduled back-to-back and are perfect for a quick photo refresh, perfect for holiday cards or updated portraits with minimal fuss.

Full sessions, are much more personal. They are longer, and more personalized. You’ll choose the location, and we’ll have more time for a variety of poses, groupings, and space to move around and explore. If you’re looking for a more tailored experience with room to breathe and create, a full session is the way to go.

Finally, what is your pricing?

I believe in full transparency when it comes to pricing, no surprises, just clarity. I want you to feel confident in your decision to book, so I provide detailed pricing upfront. My current rates are listed below, and they reflect the time, care, and artistry I bring to each session.

Pricing may vary based travel, permit requirements, and session type. I also offer occasional promotions and special discounts for returning clients, because celebrating your story again and again is one of my greatest joys.
