Hi! I'm Karissa.

 

I love all the authentic and raw moments that make you remember how joyful your day was - I want to capture all of these memories with you!

The idea behind my photography is to come at it with an honest approach that makes our interactions as authentic as possible - I never want my photography to feel unauthentic or unoriginal. You've got that "butterflies in my stomach" kind of love, and I want to capture it all. Just like no two people are the same, no two images are the same. I always allow my photos to tell a story about who you are. Your story is unique to who you are and it deserves to be documented.

 

I will always make sure we will have fun, no matter if it's raining or snowing!  I will never make you feel like I've not done enough, and I will always look for a more creative way to do a shoot. I strive to be that photographer who goes out of their way to make you feel like I fully put forth all of my efforts and time in your day.  I will always shoot outside the lines. You will absolutely have confidence in knowing that will have invested all my energy into making your dreams come to life. No smile will go unnoticed, no embrace will go unseen, and no detail will be forgotten. I will always water you and grow with you.

ABOUT ME

I began my photography journey almost 12 years ago with my dad who taught me how to have a passion for documenting the Lord's creation. I graduated with my Bachelor's in Spanish and a Minor in Religious Studies and Latino Studies from Indiana University - Indianapolis. I also took a photography class during my time at IUPUI where I was able to hone in on my passion for documenting the honesty and vibrant beauty of the people and the world around me. 

​

After graduating, I set out on my own little adventure to Peru on a mission internship for three and a half months, and met my husband 2 months after returning to the States. I now call Southern Indiana my home, but I am always on the move!

​

I have inherited the gift of pulling puns out of the air like my dad, I can speak Spanish fluently and have traveled and lived in Peru (yes, Machu Picchu, too), Mexico, and Chile, I secretly wish Joanna Gaines would come to my house and decorate it forever, and I love to cook and bake and try all the new recipes in my Pioneer Woman cookbook (Ree Drummond is my Betty Crocker).

Lets get coffee!

(Or sweet iced tea, I'm partial to either!)

Lets talk about your love and how I can help make those dreams of yours memories that will last a lifetime.

Karissa did our wedding photos and she did such a great job! She was with us all day & night. If you’re looking for someone to take any kind of pictures for you she is your girl!

I have been blessed by God to be able to document His creation and be able to share it with the world.

I am thrilled to have been awarded through the Indiana Professional Photographer's Guild at the Indiana State Fair and Wedding Day Magazine, and the Shoot and Share Photography Contest.
