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!

Sarah and Jesse are strong - they are the love you dream about. Mid session as we were walking behind their shed I saw a sign,  on it was carved "Jesse loves Sarah" - Jesse was trying out a new tool and this is what he carved, because that is just the kind of guy he is. He has this undeniable class mixed with warmth and old-fashioned wholesomeness and love for his family. Sarah radiates acceptance, love and giving, especially when it comes to friends and family and the love of her life, Jesse. 
This morning I had goosebumps through their photos and sent Sarah a little message about it. This is what she sent back:

" 
Oh Karen I am so excited. I have always wanted this kind of photo done as we have none of us. I am usually taking the pictures. I feel that they will be a part of us forever and ones the kids and grandkids will get to see and marvel at us in our youth, and in our love. I feel like the luckiest women alive for so many reasons. But mainly because Jesse is truly my genuine treasure and my soul mate. I just know that will shine through in these photos. Thank you for giving us such a gift!!!"

Jesse and Sarah, you are inspired and thank you for letting me be part of it.
