Always an artist. Fascinated by shape and shadows, I prefer black & white but also love pushing saturated color.
While living in Texas for 23 years, I focused primarily on shooting the urban landscape of my travels between Dallas, Waco, and Austin. Now living in the Chicago burbs, I'm pushing forward to pursue my passion for portraits and fashion, but of course the awesome architecture of Chicago won't be ignored.
I currently work on location and use available light, although I do have some studio equipment (just not a physical studio yet).
I'm also an assistant for an emerging group of female photographers called "Females in Focus." If you're a model (male or female)/ mua / designer in the Chicago area/burbs and would be interested in working with us TFP/TFCD - (serious inquiries only please) contact me!
If your interested in any of my photographs for publication or display, please contact me for more details.

"I've learned a lot from working with Karen - she does a great job with models, knows how to give direction when needed and definitely helps them know what they should be wearing!"
