Karen was amazing! She was super responsive and answered all of our many questions about the process. Since we were coming from out of town we had to make a few scheduling changes last minute and she was so wonderfully accommodating. During the session she helped us figure out how to not be super awkward :) and was really great at suggesting different poses. We took photos in a few different places around the Capitol Hill area and she was able to give us a wonderful variety of pictures - different poses, locations, indoors, outdoors etc. She was super sweet throughout the whole process and made us feel confident that she would deliver what we were looking for -- and she did! We love our pictures and are so thankful for all of the work that she put in before, during and after our session to make them so special for us. Thank you Karen!

We loved Karen!
She made my entire experience so special. From the start to the very end, Karen made it so simple for us! She doesn’t just schedule a day with you to shoot. No, she makes such an effort to get to know you so she can think up the perfect place to have our session and was very responsive throughout the process.
First meeting her was so much fun! We have similar tastes in music so we clicked right away! She also made it very comfortable for the both of us as well, even though she was the one running around literally drenched in her sweat! This was my first Photoshoot and I am naturally very timid and shy but she brought the fun out in me!
What helped me to decide whether I wanted to go with her or not was simply her level of expertise and crazy pricing! I wasn’t sure if we could afford to get a photo session for our engagement but I was relieved after I found out the cost! For the amount of work she does, you can’t get any better than this!
Thank you Karen for the wonderful experience and beautiful photos! This will definitely be one for us to remember!!

Chanced upon Karen’s Instagram profile and I liked her style and the colours of her photos - they are not over edited and feel personal. Karen has a good eye for detail, she was willing to realise (and improvise on the spot!) the random ideas that we had for the photoshoot. We enjoyed the photo taking process, it was like talking to a new friend who happens to take awesome photos, and we love how the photos turned out!

Karen was a joy to work with! She was very responsive whenever we asked her any questions. She was very accommodating with any requests we had. Out of all the vendors I had to work with, I would say Karen was the easiest to work with.

The final gallery was beautiful, it made us remember how wonderful that day was! You can't go wrong with Karen to capture your special day!

My fiancé and I found Karen through Facebook and couldn't be any more happy that we did! She was very responsive and booking was a breeze. She helped us with our outfits and choose the best location for us. This was our first professional photography experience as a couple and Karen made us feel very comfortable and at ease. 110% would do it again. We just got the pictures back and they are better than we could have imagined! We would print every single one if we could. Thank you Karen for doing amazing and capturing this special memory for Colin and I. <3

We so loved having Karen there with us on our wedding day, and her kindness, support, and excitement made us feel so loved on top of the wonderful photography she provided for us.

Karen made sure to understand any visions or wants we had leading up to our wedding. My husband and I didn't have many strong opinions and appreciated having her professional and creative eye to guide us! We had a couple specific requests, and Karen crafted a shot list that integrated our few "wants" into something beautiful and comprehensive.

The life and colors and energy of the photos she created are the perfect way to help us remember our wedding day and the vivid feelings that came with it!

About

Photographer Karen Yoo About me

I find inspiration in cultivating connection, exploring natural landscapes, getting lost in conversation, slow mornings, natural light, Jesus, vulnerability, earth tones, soft touches and laughter.  My heart in photography is to tell your story as honestly as I can, through artful imagery that captures raw human emotion. Photographs that truly reflect the value, beauty and worth of those inside them. I can’t wait to get to know you and document this season of your life!
