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!

I am a creat-a-holic. Events, plans, projects and more projects. I like to create (I even have a baking problem, does that count?)
If the opportunity to create and collaborate crosses my path, I'm done for, sign me up. My family teases me, that I can't pass up a good collaboration - and they are right.

I have a few on the go right now, the Comox Valley Love Affair Wedding Show, some Chicks who Click Weekend Workshops and this:

New to the community is video artist Paul Christopher came along when I was photographing Justine and Phillip's engagement shoot.

 We collaborated to create something very special for them to remember this time in their lives. I had a blast working with Paul, so did my clients, and when I saw the video it brought tears to my eyes and made me laugh - such an amazing treasure to have!

Paul and I are now collaborating to offer, what I am calling for now REEL STORIES to all clients. The services begins at $850 and includes your full edited video and full shoot. It's something really special and we look forward to having on created for our family.

Paul, meanwhile is taking bookings for 2011 weddings and has a wedding contest going, you can follow him on facebook to check it out.

Welcome to the Comox Valley Paul!
