Working with Kari has been a delight from start to finish. We got engaged in Oct 2020 and wanted to take pictures ASAP in order to capture the beautiful foliage of Upstate NY as well as our newly engaged bliss. We contacted Kari within a week of our engagement and had a date, time and place set to have a photo shoot within days! We are new to the area and he suggested the location and time of day in order to make the best of the surroundings and the pictures were STUNNING! With the engagement package we received 27 photos and 3 gifs for use on social media and for printing. We also got the photos 48 hours after the shoot!
Kari is professional, punctual and responds within hours to our messages. He is easy to get along with and made us comfortable throughout the whole experience. He used his expertise and ideas to frame our shoot and was receptive to our ideas and vision. The result was amazing art that we will cherish for a lifetime and share with our family and friends!
His rate was also extremely affordable for the quality of photos we received. If you need a photographer for anything, message Kari!

Kari Just took pictures for a surprise engagement In Western, NY and did a phenomenal job. The pictures came out amazingly, he was extremely helpful and discussed the plan to offer ideas and insight and calm any jittery nerves I had. He was absolutely delightful and a joy to work with and I highly recommend him for any of your photography needs!
