i’m karen—a chai latte (oatmilk, light ice, cinnamon powder, with an occasional espresso shot to stir up a little chaos) kind of girl. i’m a creative, designer, and photographer with a soft spot for the in-between moments. my style is editorial, storytelling, and timeless—but never stiff. people say i bring a peaceful, effortless vibe to shoots while still making things fun and intentional. i take that as a compliment.

outside of work, i’m a proud hyperfixation girlie. one minute i’m deep into the bravo universe, the next i’m scrapbooking, working out, playing sims for hours, or somehow at another concert. i love live music, thrifting, city days with friends, and spending too much money at baggu. i also take my naps seriously—like, olympic-level.

fun fact: i used to sing (until too many concerts took out my vocal cords), i was in ap art, i play guitar, and i’ve even run a half marathon. my dream project? to have my photos in a magazine and collaborate with other creatives who dream just as big.

and then there’s sunni—my four-month-old kitten, emotional support animal, and tiny little menace. she’s sweet, social, has blue eyes, and acts more like a chaotic toddler than a cat. she monitors my showers, purrs like a weirdo, and insists on being part of every phone call and conversation like she’s on payroll. people always say “she doesn’t act like a cat”—and they’re absolutely right. she’s just... sunni.

hi

my

why

i do this because i care about people.
not just the posed version, but the real version—the quiet glances, the deep laughs, the mess, the stillness, the unexpected moments that actually mean something.

photography lets me hold space for that. it’s not about chasing perfection—it’s about paying attention.
i want people to feel seen in their photos. not filtered. not forced. just honest, effortless, and true to who they are.

this work is personal to me, and i don’t take it lightly. whether it’s a wedding, a branding shoot, or a simple portrait session, i show up with purpose—because your story deserves that.
