Thank you so much for taking a peek and exploring my blog. I’m Kara May, a portrait and commercial fashion photographer living in Mesa, Arizona. Due to a loyal client-base in the Seattle, Washington area, I also travel limited amounts each year. Please inquire about travel rates if you are interested in booking a session with me in your city.
Throughout this blog I will be posting previews from recent client sessions, featuring the talent of various clothing designers & products in my ‘Designer Spot’, and sharing a little bit about me and my life outside of photo sessions and commercial projects. I have two busy young children and a loving & supportive husband all of whom I mention throughout my blog. My family provides the inspiration and support I need to evolve in my work behind the camera.
Thanks again for checking out my blog!

When the creator of Palm Tree Princess contacted me to photograph some clothing from her fall line, I was excited to see what she was going to send based on our conversation. And when I got the clothes, I was blown away! I may have even **squealed**out loud! I just love her style! It ‘s so posh, hip and unique. I fell in love!! Anyway, here’s a peak at some of her Fall line!
But the heat and humidity didn’t stop this family from looking amazing. Grandma was in town and leaving the next day, so we braved the hot weather and I must say – it’s the fastest session I’ve ever done with 2 locations. You can’t even tell this family was dying in the heat- they did awesome. I on the other hand learned what sweatbands for your forehead and wrists were invented. I need a good pair and I’m not ashamed to where them (behind the camera) if it will help from sweat dripping off my brow LOL. But seriously, I might consider getting a pair 
Here’s a little peak at our session!
Note: My calendar is filling up for fall. If you haven’t booked and wanted to you may want to do it soon before all spots are gone. All of September is booked, there’s one date left in October, and a few dates in November is still available. Go to the ‘contact’ page on my website to inquire about a session availabilities.
