I am a SAHM, a cake artist and a photographer in the Philippines. I absolutely love taking photos of people and being able to catch and freeze those special moments!

I shoot editorials, portraits, weddings, birthdays and other events and I also sell many of photographs as stock or fine art.

I am so grateful to all the wonderful people who drop by my stream and take the time to comment and fave my photos. It's been so encouraging and I can't tell you what a huge impact joining Flickr has made.

JUST AS A HEAD'S UP: If you add me and I don't reciprocate, or if I do add you but never seem to comment on your stream, PLEASE don't think that I don't care. I need to work on my time management skills and I have tons of things to do :-P So thank you so much for adding me, and please forgive me in advance for keeping silent.

*** If you have porn/overly-suggestive or disturbing images in your stream, have those things in your favorites, you have NO photos at all or things just seem at all suspicious, DO NOT BOTHER to add me as a contact or add any of my photos as your favorites. I will block you.

    "Met Karen on a forum from a feature of her work ... I have not ever regretted my choice to add her as a contact ... she is an amazing photographer and more than that I am glad she is my sister in Christ. Her eye is an inspiration to me and I am soooo happy that she has started her own business doing what she does best!"

    I haven't quite got there, but I have enjoyed our regular contact & consider Karen a good flickr friend. She is always ready to give an encouraging comment & offer a word of comfort.
    Thanks Karen :-)"

    "{karen} is one of my favorite contacts. Her portraits are consistently stunning, but most of all, she always manages to convey the emotion behind them so beautifully. It's also inspiring how she uses her gift to glorify our God. All of her pictures - whether they're her 365 shots, photos of her son or nature pictures - point back to Him. She inspires me!"

    "Karen is such a talented photographer. She composes the most beautiful, poignant portraits. I follow her 365 project every day, and am always amazed at how she comes up with new ideas of the same, beautiful subject.
    Her use of expression, colour, tone and lighting is incredible."

    "Karen's photos are simply beautiful. They're elegant in their own right. She can make the most ordinary of objects and the most boring of days look like so much fun! I always look forward to her daily 365 uploads and she never disappoints me. She is one of my idols on Flickr and I hope to be like her when I grow up. :)

    PS. I still don't know whether to call her Ate, Tita or just Karen. :P"

    "Karen ("kalen" ika nga nila sa hapon) is one of the few people, I would say, who is passionate in everything she does - cake designing, photography and being a mom. Honestly, I always look forward to seeing her everyday upload on 365days subject because she never fails to amuse (or entertain) me. And her wonderful comments that really make my day. She's like a sister who will always be supportive of you no matter what, hehehe. Isa 'kang tunay na artist. Tandaan mo 'yan Karen, tandaan mo yan... Kasi baka makalimutan ko, paalala mo na lang. hahaha..."
