Unique.

Every love story Is 

Completely

That being said, almost all of my packages are customized to fit the experience that is true to YOU.
 
 I am here to make sure the love that you + your partner share is documented authentically. It's not about staying on trend, or getting "the shot". I'm here to capture the REAL you + all the little moments in between.

Memories.

let's Create Some 

How do we even express in words how grateful we are for Karyssa?? She not only managed to take the most breathtaking photos, but we walked away from our shoot with a new friend! She is incredibly smart- an expert her field. She is wildly easy to get along with. And she is an amazing communicator! If you want stunning photos, a comfortable shooting environment, and even a new friend, CHOOSE KARYSSA!! 
Karyssa we love you and we can’t wait to shoot with you again!!!
 We couldn’t be happier!

-Savannah + Cameron

Our elopement experience wouldn't have been the same without Karyssa. From casual photos the day before to capturing our moment, to traveling through Glacier National Park to find the most iconic and memorable pictures possible...Karyssa made the best day of our lives the best it could possibly be. Her personality and kind heart allowed us to be ourselves in our most intimate moments, which is what made capturing our moments so powerful. We love you Karyssa! 

-Raleigh + Zach

    Ryan and I had the pleasure of working with Karyssa in the midst of Covid. She stuck by us through the entirety - from postponements, change of locations, and even 2 new dates.  To say this girl isn’t a die hard for her clients is an understatement. She was always there for us when we needed her- advice, check ins, and always making sure we had everything handled. 

    When it came to our special day, I’ve never seen a vendor work as hard as her. She delivered everything we could have asked for and more- our photos are our favorite thing about our wedding process. Her punctuality, flawless editing ability, professionalism, organization, and overall friendly nature is really what makes her an asset to anybody’s wedding! 

  She’ll forever be our friend and go to photographer girl for all of our photo needs as our family grows.

-Emily + Ryan

Karyssa is absolutely amazing at what she does. She will be your fan girl at any session. I got to spend the whole day with her to do a maternity boudoir + a family session. During the boudoir session, her fiery passion for what she does made this not so confident girl feel like a model. From helping book a hair/makeup artist + finding the perfect studio, to cheering me on. The photos turned out absolutely stunning + we had so much fun!

 At sunset we did a family shoot at Joshua Tree. She was so patient with my family especially when one daughter was being drama about bugs + my other daughter kept sitting in the dirt to eat snacks. It was an eventful shoot to say the least, but she laughed through it with us and still managed to get the most beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever. So if you’re on the fence about hiring someone, hire Karyssa! She will be your #1 cheerleader, take the stress out of everything and all your worries will disappear. Most importantly, you will have so much fun! We love her + will never use anyone else to take our photos. 

-Angelique + Family

Karyssa was so amazing to work with. She helped out with what we should wear, scouting out the best location, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera—even our dog had a blast! The photos she captured were OUT OF THIS WORLD! We immediately got them printed and hung in our home. We highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
