Her photography journey began when her parents gifted her a camera for her 21st birthday. ‘I started taking pictures of sunsets, nature, and anything that I felt was worth capturing in the moment. After posting some of my work on instagram, a friend reached out and asked if I could take pictures of her family for a christmas card. I never really thought about becoming a professional photographer, but my small portfolio suddenly started to gain lots of attention on social media. It snow-balled into more work and opportunities to capture precious moments of people’s lives. I quickly fell in love with it and never turned back.’ Capturing kids and families is really special to Karley since as a mother herself, she’s aware that children grow up way too fast! That’s why it seems so essential to capture these precious moments so that families can cherish and look back on them for a lifetime. ‘Candid family shots are especially important because they show the raw unfiltered version of each person rather than just posing and smiling.’ «A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety.» Ansel Adams, American landscape photographer Have a good read!’
