The Photographic Experience
What is the Photographic Experience, for me, it’s all about the experience—the final image is the bonus at the end. I begin by getting to know my subject, finding a fun and creative concept that truly reflects their personality. Each session kicks off with professional makeup, and with my years of experience as a makeup artist working alongside top photographers, I aim to give the full model treatment. Sitting in the makeup chair is an intimate experience, creating a unique bond that often carries beautifully into the photoshoot itself. I believe this makes for a truly special and memorable photo experience.”
Currently, all sessions are by invitation only as I build a portfolio of work. “I started my photo sessions for fun and as a way to promote my make up and Graceful Disgraceful workshops. It’s been such a joy—everyone has truly enjoyed both the experience and the images we create together. So next year, I’m considering offering The Photographic Experience as part of Graceful Disgraceful, making paid sessions available. If this sounds interesting to you, please reach out—I’d love to hear your thoughts!”

What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon making memories with my youngest daughter. Karen captured our relationship brilliantly. We love being silly and having fun crazy moments together, yet at the same time we are both a bit strong willed and stubborn which makes the relationship a bit feisty at times. Karen tying it all up to our love of dance and the theatre using a vaudeville theme was perfect.
