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!

Ohhh... I am in love - I am in love with wedding photography, and the best part of wedding photography, my wedding clients. I am so excited for the 2012 season - and in my top ten of reasons why is Tasha and John. 

My first meeting with them had me super excited for their wedding, they are interesting, funny and hilarious! I can't stress how much I love the chance to photograph my couples before their wedding day - not only does it allow them the opportunity to experience being photographed but we get the chance to further connect, which makes the wedding day photos that much more fun.
 
We met last week in Victoria and just played. Despite a bleak weather forecast we were blessed with beautiful light. 
We started out photographing around The Union Pacific Coffee Shop. While I was sitting there planning the shoot, I was also scheming ways to have the life I love, but in Victoria - (the location and best ice-tea I have ever had was pretty seductive.) We ended our session where John had proposed to Tasha, at the Parliament Buildings -  it was lovely photographing them there as they recounted the story.  

Tasha and John jumped in easily to being photographed, seriously, check out this first photo - don't you think they maybe have modelled professionally and just hid it from their friends and family. Sorry if I have let your secret slip.....
