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!

Because I am adverse to routine, I tend to throw myself curve balls. I know, weird right? Well that's just me. 
After a roller coaster diverse few months, things were settling back into routine, so then it became time to mix it up. So I dove into a nine day cleanse - just to ensure I didn't get to complacent or slip into a life of ease. 
I envisioned blog posts that didn't make sense  and restless nights dreaming of those new cake pop thing-a-ma-bobbers they sell at Starbucks - (I have only ever had the smallest bite of one yet we already have a love/hate relationship.)

But, the nine days went well. I was a bit low energy a few nights, and tried to run the house and kids, from the couch but mostly I felt grounded. One of the largest benefits of the cleanse, other than giving the body a bit of a break, is decreasing my caffeine. Now I am down to one cup a day, and not a big gulp size either.

Oh, and on another note, my super sweet dog Utah (isn't she cute-ugly) ate a lot of chocolate on easter, don't you just love it when your kids don't listen about where to leave their chocolate so they don't harm the dog!
Anyhow, she is fine now and I was thinking you would probably want to see a recent photo of her.
