Karen Bowey Who am I?

I am happiest when I have a camera in my hands creating artistic portraits of your newborn, wedding, pregnant belly or family! My aim is to give you exactly what you want, and if I haven't tried that style before- then no problem - let's do it! I will put my artistic twist on it and enjoy the new challenge. If you haven't any firm ideas of style - don't worry - I have plenty and lean towards the v

intage/rustic style of available light photography and I really love that you trust me to capture your newborn/wedding/family in a way that complements the essence of your family. I have some awesome newborn and wedding props and some equally awesome locations as well as a studio for styled, more intimate shots. I am based in Townsville, however I am equipped to travel for your special wedding day, multiple bookings or sporting event. I have covered weddings, fashion shows and sporting events throughout Queensland from Birdsville to Mt Isa to the Daintree and everywhere in between! So call me if you need a freelance photographer for your event. I have just launched (2014) Photography by Red Sky's exclusive "Country Wedding in the City" location equipped with log cabin, rustic farm machinery including an old Toyota, baths, a swing old wooden yards, wagon wheels and HORSES yes HORSES all set up in Karen's back paddock! This location is 10 minutes from Willows and 25 mins from the city so it's perfect for your rustic location shoot. There is a creek below Karen's farm too which runs at certain times of the year and makes for amazing photography with reflections and ethereal light. This location can of course be used for family and other photography too! A mother, grandmother, wife, sister, daughter and friend to LOTS of very special and wonderful people who are my biggest supporters of my photographic crusade that's been going on for over 30 years now :)

I first met Glenda and Grant wayyyyyyy back in Longreach when I first started out in photography and have been lucky enough to be asked to update their family photos at important times of their lives along the way!
They were a beautiful family back then, and nothing has changed. It's always such a joy to catch up with these wonderful people... and now there's another generation to love, with cheeky, adventurous little Cecilia joining the crew!
I really did try not to make the session all about Ceci... but she made that almost impossible! She gave me far too many adorable reasons to keep pointing the camera in her direction!
Beautiful family! ❤️

Getting the whole family together for updated photos is no small feat... especially when the "kids" are all grown adults with lives of their own. Throw in a husband, and Jennifer deserves some sort of event-planning medal! 😂

The mission? New family photos before Mackenzie heads off on her exciting working adventure.

How long had it been between family photos, Jen? Nineteen years?! I'd say they were well and truly overdue!

What a joy this family was to photograph. They genuinely love being together, which made my job incredibly easy—all I had to do was capture it. And it certainly didn't hurt that they were all verrrrry easy on the eyes too!

Congratulations to this dynamic duo, Jodie and Dwayne. What a beautiful wedding you created for yourselves — fun, heartfelt, and full of joy. I’m pretty sure those big smiles never left your faces all day and night.

There was so much to celebrate — not only your commitment to each other, but also the coming together of two wonderful families. And what a fun family you all are! The warmth and love you have for each other is very real and tangible!

I especially love the group shots — I’m sure these will be treasured for years to come. Even your little dog played the part perfectly in the big group shot… if you look closely!

I wish you both all the happiness in the world. I absolutely loved being your photographer and capturing such a special day for you both.

This gorgeous family has been with me right from the beginning—starting with their wedding and then every new addition along the way… now a lively crew of four boys!

I absolutely love catching up with them each time. The boys always come in with big hugs for Karen, and if one gets missed at the start, you can be sure there's hugs at the end.

Scott’s great sense of humour keeps every session interesting, while Zandra takes it all in her stride with her calm, friendly, and quietly efficient way—the same way she manages her four boys so beautifully.

And don’t you think they all share that same unmistakable family stamp? Such wonderful kids, living a truly great life thanks to the love and adventures their parents give them.

And this cute little tacker, Dustin, decided he was not missing a single moment of the action—wide awake the whole time! No sleepy newborn shots for this little guy… just bright eyes, curious looks, and plenty of personality already shining through.

It’s getting to that stage where I’m almost ready to be photographing graduation photos for the very newborns I once captured!

What an incredible full-circle moment that would be—and honestly, I really hope I get to see it happen. Watching families grow like this is one of the most special parts of what I do!🥰

I’m so excited to share these photos of my newest, cutest, adorable little granddaughter, Elsie Victoria 💕 Born on March 25th at just a tiny 4.9 lbs. She’s already captured all our hearts.

I think you’ll agree—Skylah and Tyler make truly beautiful children!

A few little issues to iron out in the beginning, but Elsie is now going strong and has everyone wrapped around her tiny fingers.
And don’t let her tiny, petite look fool you—she’s as robust and strong as ever.

Rhys is such a protective big brother, and Violet—well, I’m pretty sure she’d push Skylah aside if she could have her way, just so she could move in and be her mum!

Lots of love to this beautiful, growing family. I’m so proud of you all… and Skylah—you’ve handled the whole pregnancy, birth, complications, and the transition to a family of five with your usual “I’ve got this” attitude. Well done you! 💕👏
