Welcome! I'm so glad your search lead you here.
My name is Kara Raudenbush and I have loved being a professional photographer for 30 years.
Through my own experiences in front of a camera I was motivated to spend my professional life behind it, making people comfortable. Remember how you felt on your picture day at school? Nervous, worried you would smile wrong, not smile at all or the worst thing ever, make a horrible face? How about your bar/bat mitzvah or wedding where you are the center of attention? I have transformed my own experiences into a career where the focus is to put my clients at ease and empower them to be themselves, to work with me to find their spark and show it. I'm not taking pictures, I'm taking a true reflection of who you are, who you love, what your relationships are about and those fleeting moments of emotion.
Through the years, my clients have taught me many lessons. The most interesting is emotions can flow freely once you get beyond feeling strange in front of a camera. It's not an easy thing to overcome, but I'm proud to say I get it, and I love to help my clients find their way. This goes beyond asking them to say cheese. It goes beyond telling them to smile. It's about loving what I do, getting to know the people I'm working with and finding the sweet, pure emotion behind the lens. I believe a great photograph tells a story.
Let me help you tell yours.
All the best ~ Kara
