The day of this session was perfect for photos, overcast and cooler than usual. This family is incredibly photogenic!


My name is Karen Pearce, and I am a contemporary natural light portrait photographer. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts, and have worked for years as a graphic designer. I often find myself surfing the internet for hours looking at different photography, fine art and graphic design websites.
I have always had a love of photography and took classes in high school and college. At family get togethers people always would hand me their camera and ask me to take photos for them. I got serious about photography as a profession after my first daughter was born. I became frustrated with my point and shoot camera, it would not take pictures fast enough. I wanted to capture the emotions I was seeing on my daughter's face with my eyes through the lens of a camera.
Contemporary portrait photography inspires me - it's not posed, it's real. I try to capture emotion, personality and expression in my photographs - these are the qualities that I believe make a photograph memorable and treasured for a lifetime.

These aren’t your typical backgrounds for a family photo shoot. These photos turned out amazing!




Emmett was such a chill baby to photograph. 6 boys in one family, how cool.




I tried out some new locations for this shoot that had some great backgrounds. Hayley – your photos turned out beautiful, just like you! In fact so many photos were amazing, that it was hard to pick which ones to put on this blog!




One month old MariElle, what a sweetie!



Chloe is only 6 weeks old – what a cute little angel! There are so many great pics from this shoot!





I simply love how these photos turned out of baby Troy!



Little LiErh – what a sweet little girl!


My favorite photo of Olivia ended up being the very last photo I took. What a smile!


Landon and Micah!
