No Flash in the Pan
Karen Carey Photography
The holidays fly by so fast: One day it’s Santa, the next day it’s sales.
Make this year’s memories last a bit longer with a photo storybook from Karen Carey. A seasoned pro, she’s known for capturing kids in genuine, off-guard moments — nothing like the posed and prim portraits of yore.
Schedule her to snap your family enjoying a snowball fight and sipping cocoa, and she’ll present you with a coffee table book that you’ll cherish all year long.
Plus she’s donating a portion of her sitting fees to Flashes of Hope, a national charity that takes touching photos of children battling cancer.
Just another reason we’re glad she’s sticking around.
