Genuine compassion

“What truly set her apart was her kindness during a very difficult time for our family. We had just learned that our sweet dog Maddie has a terminal illness, and Karen approached every step of the process with genuine compassion and professionalism.

During the photo session, Karen had an incredible ability to see—and capture—our dogs’ personalities so effortlessly.

She created a space that felt calm, loving, and comfortable, and it showed in every single image. The photos she gave us are more than just pictures; they’re priceless memories that we’ll cherish forever.

Karen’s empathy, talent, and dedication turned one of the hardest moments of our lives into something beautiful.”

Ways to engage cats

“She has wonderful ideas about ways to engage cats, from toys to plants to props.

She shared so many wonderful photos with me during the review meeting. If you know you want images to hang she has a wonderful program to mock up the selection(s) on your wall(s) and room(s).

The images she creates aren’t just snapshots they are lifetime memories of your pets.”

Found the best location

“I never really thought about having professional pictures taken for my dogs. But when my friend Stephanie showed me the pictures of her dogs that Karen took I was sold!

Together we found the place that would be best for my dogs to take photos. One of my dogs is in a wheelchair and she was so amazing at finding the location that would fit him the best as well!

The rest is history… Amazing memories and incredible prints!”

Stress-free

““After receiving heartbreaking news about our beloved dog’s health, I wanted to capture a beautiful memory of him.

I discovered Karen’s photography and was immediately drawn to her work. From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive, thorough, and detail-oriented.

She knew exactly what we were looking to accomplish and found the perfect moments with our dog, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

The experience was expeditious yet meaningful, and when it came time to review the final images, Karen provided an intimate and personalized session to help us select and edit our favorites.

What could have been a somber experience turned into a beautiful, heartfelt memory, thanks to Karen’s warmth and expertise.”

Great job with my
black cat

“Karen did a great job with my cats we did the photoshoot outside to get the most stunning photos of them possible. She did a great job with my black cat.
The entire process didn’t even take that long between taking photos, picking out the best ones, and receiving them.
Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for black cat photos.”

Got our cats to engage

“Karen did a wonderful job getting our cats to engage for the shoot which resulted in photos far beyond what I had anticipated.

She was easy to communicate/schedule with, she came prepared and she was great with all our animals.”

Attention to detail

“The photos Karen took of my golden retriever puppy are amazing!

Karen was so good at getting her attention and had so much patience with her.

I couldn’t believe the beautiful photographs she was able to get even though my wild little puppy did not want to cooperate pretty much the entire shoot.

Her attention to detail and skill as a photographer are so evident in the photos.

In addition, Karen is incredibly sweet and was wonderful to work with. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

Thankful we chose her

“We feel so lucky that we found Karen! She is an amazingly talented photographer & her talent shows through her work.

She & her husband Dan (who helps to pose the animals) were super sweet & great with our dogs.

After seeing the finished products, we are so thankful that we chose her. We have some beautiful photos that will be displayed for years to come.”

Genuine smiles
from my son

“Karen did such an amazing job with my little family!

Karen was able to capture such genuine smiles from my son and such amazing pictures of my squirmy dogs! That (I know from experience), is no easy task!

I will treasure these pictures and these memories always!”

Wants the pet to have a happy experience

“Laika doesn’t always want to play when she is at a strange place, but she was playing and having so much fun, and it shows in the pictures that Karen took of her. And that was important because Laika isn’t always feeling well because she has cancer.

You can tell that Karen loves what she does and wants the pet to have a happy experience, which means she is taking pictures of happy pets and showing their true personalities.

And she takes her time. She didn’t rush Laika, waiting until she settled down, was comfortable, and wanted to have fun.”

Wonderful way with animals

“My dog, Rufus aka Piggy, is usually uncooperative when it comes to letting us take pictures of him.

He was thrilled to have Karen take his pictures, as he cooperated completely.

Karen has a wonderful way with animals and we are so happy to be one of her clients. Thank you so much, Karen, for pictures I will forever cherish!”

Even great for shy cats

“What an amazing experience! Even great for shy cats. Wonderful quality prints. Highly recommend!!

Her patience is unparalleled

“She did the most incredible job photographing my VERY active and bouncy border collie puppy, and the results were amazing!

She truly has a unique talent, and went above and beyond in every way to answer all our questions, and her patience is unparalleled.

I’m so grateful to have such a precious time in my puppy’s life captured forever, and now I have the coolest wall art for my home and office!”

Easy to work with

“Karen was so easy to work with, responsive to emails and flexible about date/time/location given Colorado’s finicky weather.
Karen captured wonderful photos of both our rescue pups and us. Somehow she managed to capture their personalities, us smiling, and the beautiful scenery in the background ALL at the same time. A feat my husband and I can never manage.
Karen’s process for reviewing the photos made us feel confident in our choices and she was thoughtful about which photos she chose to share with us and gave us a final review before printing the photos for us. She then was able to deliver them to us in adorable packaging!”

– Amber & Shaun

Went above and beyond

“Karen and Dan are simply great humans. I had the unfortunate reason to contact Karen as my pup Ruff was diagnosed with cancer suddenly.

She was SO responsive and accommodating, so willing to work around my pup’s needs and simply went above and beyond every step of the way during the entire process from scheduling a shoot to the final products.

They also made the actual photoshoot day so fun and enjoyable . We can’t recommend them enough!”
