I ABSOLUTELY LOVE KARAMARIE! 😊 She was, without a doubt, the best photographer we could have asked for on our wedding day. Words truly can’t express how wonderful she is. She’s one of the kindest people I’ve ever met, and I felt completely comfortable with her from the very beginning. She’s energetic, incredibly hardworking, and SO talented.

Since we had never hired a photographer before, we were new to the whole process but Karamarie happily answered all of our questions and made us feel confident and secure about what to expect. She’s such a joy to talk to, made me feel genuinely special, and captured the most beautiful photos of our friends, family, and loved ones. We will treasure these memories forever!!

We started using Kara’s photography services a few years ago for family photos, and I’m SO glad we found her! She’s such a warm, friendly person and somehow gets my shy kids to open up for some amazing photos. Cannot recommend her enough!

Kara has been doing our family photos for 3 years now. Seeing her each Christmas for minis has been a blast, and this year has been magical. With a new addition to our family we booked with Kara three times this year. We did wildflower minis in the spring for maternity and just wow. Then a newborn shoot in our home. We specifically wanted lifestyle photos and she captured them for us. And finally we did holiday photos with a fall mini. Kara is amazing with our kids, flexible with our needs and all around a lovely human.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kara Russell with Kara Marie Photography. She photographed our daughter’s wedding a year ago, and we are still absolutely in awe of the images. Every photo was stunning — she captured the day beautifully, naturally, and with so much emotion.

Kara worked seamlessly alongside our DJ/event coordinator and the videographer, which helped the entire day flow smoothly and stress-free. She went above and beyond by meeting us where the bride was getting ready and captured incredible moments during hair and makeup — some of our most treasured photos from the day!

From the very beginning, Kara’s communication was excellent, even leading up to the ceremony. She was professional, organized, and reassuring, which made a huge difference on such an important day. We are so grateful for the way she preserved these memories and would wholeheartedly recommend Kara Marie Photography to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding photographer!

A few weeks before heading down the Oregon coast on vacation, I decided I wanted to get family pictures. I searched all over looking for someone with availability and was reasonably priced. I came across Kara’s IG and knew I wanted her to do our photos! She was SO accommodating, her welcome guide was phenomenal with tips, color palettes to wear and location guide. She went above and beyond with our family, took such care with my kids and made sure we got exactly what we were looking for. Our pictures are absolutely stunning. We’ve gotten so many compliments on them. If you’re local or going on vacation I highly recommend Kara for photos, you will not be disappointed!

I booked a session with Kara in early fall of last year to take some pictures of me and my dog! She had the perfect time of day in mind for the prettiest golden lighting, and the results exceeded my expectations!! She captured the sweetest moments of us. She was flexible with a location that was in the middle of us both as well. She is a pleasure to be around and work with. I have followed Kara for years on instagram and have watched her amazing photography grow into a successful business. As long as I've known her she has had a passion for photography (especially the beach!) since we were young. I will definitely be booking with her again to capture more sweet moments!!

Kara was wonderful! We got fresh 48 photos with her when our little boy was born. She was incredibly accommodating and sweet. She helped us capture the most precious moments. We hope to use her with any family photos or occasions moving forward. She a great photographer and a sweet girl. She really cares about capturing the candid in between moments and making sure it’s fun.

Very sweet, and easy going. Great if you have little kids who don't listen and run wild, she knows how to wrangle them in and get great photos from them! We have gone with her twice and we really enjoy our time and the photos we get!

We booked a Christmas tree farm mini shoot with Kara and she was wonderful! I always feel awkward in photos and have no idea how to pose. In the past I feel like this was very apparent in the photos we’d get back. But Kara was different and made us feel comfortable and chatted with us to ease our minds. Our photos came out so beautifully and she was able to capture our playful personalities without us looking goofy.

Kara had great communication leading up to our session and even helped answer some questions about what to wear.

I will treasure these photos for years to come and plan on booking more sessions with Kara in the future!

Easily the best souvenirs from our Oregon Coast roadtrip. We weren't sure how this was going to turnout as the night we had booked pictures for was misty, windy, and only 59F. But kara.mariephotography nailed it and the kids could to have been better behaved!
