The Taboo Show in Abbotsford

Wow - been awhile since I posted!

Besides the Christmas and Valentines rush, we had a very sick girl to attend to for a few months। Thanks to everyone who sent their prayers, thoughts, and well wishes! She's an amazing girl and has recovered 100% or more! :) Well, it's been a wild few weeks - and here's the latest highlight...

The studio went to a Very Interesting Trade show this weekend...

The Taboo Show in Abbotsford. We met some terrific people and had a ton of fun... thanks so much to Lisa and Gary for helping 'man' the booth. Gary was my wonderful technical advisor and printer and Lisa was so awesome at assisting with photos and helping greet everyone. We were so lucky to introduce so many people to our boudoir, fashion and glamour photography - as well as some wedding and family work.

Also have to thank Laurel and Ross from Essensuals... for not only the great help, but for the loan of a great bike for the photo shoots. See her on-line store at:

Here's one of my favorite poses from the weekend on the bike...

And my absolute favorite - what a cutie!

Thanks to "Mom And Dad'' for letting us use these photos for display of such a cute puppy! :)

We had everything from the very tame to the very daring for clothing choices... both men and women loved the bike... and puppies too!

Looking forward to welcoming everyone to our studio that received the gift certificates for a free boudoir session. The certificate included the session fees and all artwork!

A spectacular savings of anywhere from 275.00 to 575.00, depending on artwork chosen...

And CONGRATULATIONS to Shannon Haig of Mission, BC who won the grand prize of a Deluxe Designer Session complete with album and artwork!

Take care, Karen

The Mark Stevens Team

Just had to write about one of my more recent clients, an amazing realtor and incredible person! Mark Stevens of Keller Williams Realty.

When Mark Stevens and his team came in for business photos I was completely impressed! Mark, Pam and Terry were very sincere, cheerful and a delight to work with.

I was impressed not only with their professional, friendly nature but with how well they worked together. I've dealt with many realtors in the past few years, and have not seen a team work this well together professionally as well as interpersonally in a very long time.

We got talking while we did the portrait sitting, and I was also amazed at how their pride in their work showed. It was very easy to see how they really care about their clients.

Here's the 'traditional' portrait I did for the team...



Not only are they a great team, but they're really cool - as you can tell by the following photo... :)



We had alot of fun doing this "Matrix" shot.... it's not often you get someone with such a great sense of humour and ability to have fun with life - and their portraits. :)

Keller Williams Real Estate in general is really different in how they take care of their people and their clients. And I like recognizing good companies!

Their Difference:

Powerful curriculum through Keller Williams University keeps them on top of trends, tools and advancements in the real estate industry. Unlike other real estate companies, Keller Williams Realty was designed to reward agents for working together, to serve our clients better.
And, amazingly, Keller Williams Realty was founded on the principles of trust and honesty, emphasizing the importance of having the integrity to do the right thing and always putting the client’s needs first.
