Karenscape Photography

Welcome to my blog!

Hi, I’m Karen. Once upon a time, a decade ago, I was an editor at a teen magazine (Tiger Beat, remember that one?) with a quiet passion for taking pictures (and for Justin Timberlake, but that's another matter).

Then I photographed my sister’s wedding.

Right before they broke the glass I ducked out from under the chuppah, ran into the aisle and snapped the money shot. After the ceremony I changed out of my maid of honor dress and into black pants and a black shirt, so I could shoot without the distraction of a dress. That was it! I was a wedding photographer! I traded my well-paying job as an editor for a $10 per hour position at a camera rental store and a hearty chunk of starving-artist struggle.

Now, ten years and hundreds of weddings later, I am an award-winning wedding photojournalist with a successful one-woman studio. And I am still so grateful every time I am invited to witness and document such a beautiful commitment.

The truth is, I'm silly, easygoing, and I like to have fun (see the video of me doing the Electric Slide on the homepage for evidence). If you are too, we'll get along great. That is, as long as you don't mind me bustin' a move on the dance floor while I shoot!
