Kara

Photographer + Storyteller

I help you tell your story through tailor-made photoshoots that create joyful, personality-filled photos you’ll absolutely love!


I started Blythe Photo Co. back in 2017, after a friend asked me to take some branding photos. Something just clicked — I loved the idea of helping businesses shine through beautiful imagery. Since then, I’ve been on a mission to do exactly that: deliver gorgeous photos that make brands feel seen, celebrated, and uniquely them.


All the love and care I put into crafting tailor-made brand shoots? I bring that same energy to my portrait sessions too. Whether it’s a family shoot, an engagement, or just-because photos, I take the time to get to know you — your story, your style, your vibe — so your photos feel genuinely you.


No stiff poses, no cookie-cutter setups — just real moments, real connection, and photos you’ll treasure forever.


Whether I’m capturing a brand story, a family moment, or a love story, my goal is always the same: to create authentic, beautiful photos that reflect you.


So if you’re ready to tell your story in a way that feels real, fun, and totally unforgettable — I’m your girl.
