hey there,
I’m karen
Thank you for considering me to capture your story. As an extroverted Latina, I live for meaningful connections. I believe in the power in reaffirming conversations and intentional connection, which is something I take with me every time I photograph others. When I’m not shooting, I enjoy visiting beaches in Southern California, watching Modern Family and too many funny TikToks with my husband. My heart is in finding new things that bring me joy, like new towns, new foods, & new ideas that inspire me & my business. I’m also a mama to my little man, Mateo! Him & my husband are my whole world.
I have been a photographer for 5 and half years now. I got a hold of my 1st camera to do story telling and advocacy while being a student at Fresno Pacific University. Now, I love being there to capture meaningful steps of a powerful story, like when I capture my clients go from graduations, to engagements, to weddings, & to maternities. Those pockets of life are my jam…
The pride I feel behind sharing a great shot goes way beyond the technology in my lens that makes it possible. For me, it’s about showing my clients the beauty God created them with. It’s about showing them that one special smile that only appears when you’re overcome with pure joy in the presence of someone you love. You know that smile? The one that you didn’t even know you had until you see the photo? That one :))
Sooo..if you want to voice your inner self, or celebrate your love story, let’s connect! I’d love to cheer you on and build a relationship with you in the process.
I can’t imagine doing anything else
When I chose to sell my first & only car to buy my 1st professional camera & start my business I gave so much in exchange for a dream. Selling my car to build to become a full time photographer was the craziest decision ever. But sometimes crazy is exactly what you need to be happier…
An Honest Review
“Karen is a wonderful photographer who was able to perfectly capture pictures of my husband and me. Not only are the pictures gorgeous, she made us both feel super comfortable during the shoot and was our own personal hype person! She gave us prompts that felt natural and fun which helped us feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. I cannot recommend Karen Vargas Photography enough!”
