About Me

Hello and welcome to my photo blog. I am Karen McKinnon, a Vancouver Island based photographer - a gal fortunate to be living my passion. The blog is where you can see recent sessions, keep in touch with what is new around here (and I promise you it is never dull) and get a better sense of who I am, what I love and how I show it. 

Thanks for visiting. Please leave a comment and let me know you were here - it really does make me smile!

Oh what a full life it has been lately - May, you were amazing.
 
These photos were from just a week ago but it seems like a month.

I had quite the weekend, 13 amazing women came into the studio friday night for a Bella Party, Saturday Christine and I rolled our tired selves to the Bellies, Birth and Baby Fair - despite a serious lack of sleep we picked right up when we got there and truly enjoyed ourselves. We met tons of new people and were thrilled with all our clients who came by to say hello (especially the ones that shared news of a new pregnancy, twins and a big shout out to Karina who actually was in pre-labour.) We were very impressed with the whole event, the Comox Valley Doulas, who put it all together could definitely start a side endeavour organizing trade shows - well done and thank you.

So, last week, when the sun shone hard I was out enjoying every bit of it and joining me was Sophie, Olivia and Frank.

If you know this family, you know what I mean when I say they make me happy. The smiles you see in the photo are real, this is a crew that oozes goodness and a love of life. It was a joy to photograph them - and I am loving getting to know them.

Karen - these pictures look fabulous! We had lots of fun hanging out at the beach with you - definitely warmer than our first attempt! The girls kept talking about how much fun the shoot was - your fun and relaxed nature brought out the best in us! Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures!

(PS - thanks for help with the birthday surprise... full service photography, taxi, and more!!)

These photos bring a tear to my eye. Not only are they a lovely family but Frank and my son, Lee, have been friends since their school days. Seeing these photos reminds one that they really are grown men now!
