Karen J. Hawley Photography bio picture
    • A tidbit about me…

      I'm a mom to three beautiful girls, a wife, graphic designer, and (duh!) photographer! It all started the summer before my sophomore year of high school. I worked all summer tying up trees at a nursery, saving my pennies to buy my first camera. I was hooked! I've always loved photographing people and have just recently challenged myself to start my own business. I still have that first camera (a Nikon FM), although I'm sure it's considered an antique by now!

      My favorite part about photography? People's reactions to my work. There's nothing better than bringing a tear to the eye of a mother when she first sees her kids captured in beautiful images she'll always treasure. Or to hear a bride exclaim over and over how much she just loves her images from the most important day of her life. THAT is why I photograph... that is my passion.
