My photography journey began my freshman year of college at LSU. I was always the one wanting and taking tons of photos of my friends. One day my brother asked me to take HOCO pics of him and his girlfriend and I was HOOKED!

Fast forward to today, I am loving it even more than I could imagine. It definitely was not love at first sight, but through everything I have learned about my camera and myself, I have found my niche, and I am so excited for you to be as much apart of my journey as I am yours! Welcome to the club, sis! 

I'm a southern girl who loves to travel, find the best restaurants, eat lots of sweets, and shop until I drop. My dad once said you could literally drop me in the middle of nowhere and I would find the mall without gps. Ha!

I am a mom to three energetic Labrador Retrievers and living in the heart of NOLA with my high school honey!

I am a goal oriented person and this year, one of my goals is shoot one senior from every high school in the Greater New Orleans area.

My Story

i'm Karleen

My goal is to get to know each and every one of my senior clients so that I can capture the real person. I want every senior to feel beautiful, comfortable and authentic in front of my camera. I believe a photo can not only capture the special time in a seniors life but capture the person they may not even realize they are...a strong, beautiful, amazing young girl who is about to embark on the adventure of her life.

Your senior year in high school is such a special time. A time where you are growing up, realizing your independence, thinking toward your future and what you want to do all while cherishing the last year at home, with the friends you have grown up with and parents who love you. I want to capture who you are at this moment, the real, authentic, beautiful YOU.

My Goal

I WANT YOU TO FEEL BEAUTIFUL AND HAVE FUN!! MY GOAL WITH EACH SHOOT IS TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER, SHARE OUR STORIES AND HAVE FUN THE ENTIRE TIME. I BELIEVE THE MORE FUN WE HAVE THE BETTER THE EXPERIENCE WILL BE. SO LET'S GRAB SOME GLITTER, CRANK UP THE MUSIC, START A DANCE PARTY AND HAVE SOME FUN!!

FOR EVERY SINGLE CLIENT WHETHER YOU ARE A HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR OR BOSS BABe...
