It's not just a price you're paying...
it's an investment
“in·vest·ment:
The dedication of an asset to attain an increase in value over a period of time. Investment requires a sacrifice of some present asset, such as time, money, or effort.”
For the sake of tomorrow...
I want you to think back to a time when you were a kid and visiting your grandparents house. Maybe their house smelled a certain way, or you can picture that terrible shaggy carpet that has been down for decades. For me, I always remember how many pictures were hung on the wall--pictures of me as a baby, my parents on their wedding day, my cousins on picture day at school, my great grandparents back when they were my age. All kinds of pictures that showed the love and pride my grandparents had in the legacy that was their life and their family.
If I were a betting lady, I'd like to think that you too hold pride and love for your own family and the beautiful people you have in your life, and what better way to showcase that than by getting those timeless heirloom images for you to one day hang on your wall and admire for a lifetime and beyond. That's where I come in to help. I am here to help you capture today for the sake of tomorrow. If you ask me, I don't think there's a better way to invest your money than in the memories of now so that you can appreciate them better in the years to come...

“Karisa photographed our engagement and we couldn't have imagined any one better to do our wedding. Karisa was organized and communicated from booking her, to the day we received our full wedding gallery. She is easy to work with, makes everyone comfortable, and keeps everyone interested in pictures. She captured every detail we requested, even details we added on at the very end. All of our pictures came back absolutely perfect. We hope to work with Karisa again in the future for all of our life updates!”

She responded quickly and communicated throughout the entire process...sent a helpful questionnaire to keep organized while getting the shots we wanted...very helpful with creating a wedding timeline so that things went smooth...great at keeping us on track, giving us direction but also not making us feel rushed. We got our "sneak peeks" very fast and all of our photos in the time she told us...She captured so many beautiful memories!”

“We booked an engagement shoot with Karisa and we had a blast! Neither of us enjoy being in front of the camera but saw it as a necessary evil... but we ended up having so much fun on our shoot.

Karisa gave us so much useful information on where to meet, what to wear etc. and she was flexible in rescheduling when the weather didn't work out. Overall, we are so happy we chose Karisa for our engagement photos and highly recommend her!”

"NOTHING SHORT OF SPECTACULAR"
“Karisa was nothing short of spectacular! From the start she was a great help in the planning of my proposal. We connected a few months in advance, she helped me plan, and even scoped out the site to show me prior too. Karisa then drove multiple hours and waited in the rain to capture my surprise proposal. She even brought us a bottle of champagne. In the few mins we had between the storms, Karisa captured amazing photos. She then sent me our full catalog in less than 12 hours! She was truly amazing!”

She made sure she knew what my wife and I wanted and spoke to my daughter several times to understand her desires and personality.

"MY WORRIES WERE NEEDLESS"
“Karisa was so helpful, she assisted in picking the most perfect location and was able to deliver my vision! Before booking the shoot, I was a little bit nervous, as I didn’t know much about Karisa, or photography in Florida, and didn’t know what to expect. We also had never taken beach photos. I worried about wind on the beach, messy hair, etc. and I worried about my toddler acting out. My worries were needless, as these photos turned out PERFECT. The photos turned out better than I could have expected!”

"felt like I knew her for years"
“Since being a mom I’m not a very social person. I can honestly say I’m awkward and have some anxiety. I got nervous before the shoot but the second I came in contact with Karisa it felt like I had known her for years. She is a gorgeous human being… inside & out! The patience she had for my little ones & picture ideas! They came out so beautiful and not forced. I love my pictures, and i can’t wait to frame them! Thank you Karisa for being so lovely!”

"amazing at what she does"
“Karisa is amazing at what she does! She did an amazing job capturing my growing little family and capturing the love my husband and I have for our little bundle of joy coming in August.

"attention to detail"
“Karisa was one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked with. Absolutely loved her professionalism, great communication, getting back with messages, attention to detail, and fun energy she brought to the photoshoot...One of my personal pet peeves is efficient & transparent communication and planning out the details with photographers and Karisa truly was an absolute joy in every aspect of it. Plus, in person she is so sweet and fun which made a photoshoot a blast.
I recommend her 100% !”
