My name is Karen Pearce, and I am a contemporary natural light portrait photographer. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts, and have worked for years as a graphic designer. I often find myself surfing the internet for hours looking at different photography, fine art and graphic design websites.
I have always had a love of photography and took classes in high school and college. At family get togethers people always would hand me their camera and ask me to take photos for them. I got serious about photography as a profession after my first daughter was born. I became frustrated with my point and shoot camera, it would not take pictures fast enough. I wanted to capture the emotions I was seeing on my daughter's face with my eyes through the lens of a camera.
Contemporary portrait photography inspires me - it's not posed, it's real. I try to capture emotion, personality and expression in my photographs - these are the qualities that I believe make a photograph memorable and treasured for a lifetime.
This darling family picked a great location for their photoshoot at sunset. I love the colors they are wearing and especially the color in their family photo with the yellow and green truck!
Emmett was such a chill baby to photograph. 6 boys in one family, how cool.
Landon and Micah!
