Hello! I’m Kara

Kara Perry, Film Photographer

I’ve been passionate about photography since I was 10 years old, and over the last six years I have been able to dedicate more of my life to developing and fine tuning my skills within the craft. Photography has grown from being my passion to being my career that I am passionate about. I specialize in a style of photography that is a mix of candid and editorial with a focus on capturing the moments where my client or clients feel the most comfortable, connected, and themselves. 

I’m not a “content creator”. My clients’ lives are not content. They are real moments filled with love, grief, happiness, silliness, awkwardness, and humanity.
