"Five stars truly isn't enough..
I researched photographers for my family to get updated family photos since we had a little one join our family in May and didn’t get any newborn pictures. I randomly came across Karissa’s page while browsing for one and I couldn’t help but reach out and see if she was available because I loved the work I saw. 
The day came and she was so nice and friendly. She was wonderful with our crazy three year old (you’d never know how crazy he was if you weren’t there) and made our family feel comfortable. She knew what to say and how to say it which was obvious when we received our pictures.
The moment I opened our link with our pictures that Karissa sent to us, I couldn’t hide my emotions. I was brought to tears by how beautiful every single picture turned out. Her talent is unmatched. Our pictures were nothing short of perfect and went beyond my expectations.
Having Karissa capture this season of our life was one of the best decisions I have made.
The attention to details that she has is very unique and going through the pictures, I just loved the things she caught. I had no idea how often she captured my three month old looking at her and even some smiles- it was a precious surprise. All in all, I could not recommend Karissa enough for taking pictures for whatever season of life you are in. She truly is incredible!"  - Melanie and boys
