Kara Reese Photography

Kara Reese Photography Internationally Award-Winning Portrait Photographer with a studio located in Waukesha, Wisconsin. But it doesn't end there.

Step away from mass-produced wall decorations and embrace the idea of adorning your spaces with meaningful art that truly matters - the people you love. I'm sure your phone's camera roll looks a little like mine: tens of thousands of snapshots of my kids and loved ones taken over many years of amazing memories. But here's a thought: as time slips by, technology evolves, and digital files pile up,

will those cherished memories be readily accessible for your children when they venture into their own lives? Do you want them to sift through obsolete devices and outdated formats to find the treasure trove of moments you've captured? At Kara Reese Photography, we believe that your precious memories deserve more than just a digital existence. Our mission is to transform those fleeting moments into tangible pieces of art that you can proudly display in your home and pass down through generations. As a full-service photography studio, we not only provide an incredible luxury experience with in-house professional hair and makeup and studio wardrobe; we also specialize in crafting exquisite Heirloom Albums, offering you a beautifully curated collection of images that tell your unique story. Our premium Wall Art selections will transform your spaces into galleries of love, while our Fine Art Prints capture the essence of each moment with timeless elegance. We understand the importance of today's digital world. That's why every print you choose comes with its matching high-resolution digital negative. This means you'll have the perfect version for archiving, sharing with loved ones, gifting, or even posting on your favorite social media platforms. In the end, life is a collection of memories woven together by the threads of time. Don't wait until those threads fray to realize how vital these memories are. Let us help you weave them into something truly extraordinary. As Theodor Seuss Geisel once said, "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." Call or text us at 262-208-5272 to inquire. Studio located in Waukesha, WI and willing to travel.

Nobody tells you how much you'll value someone who just “handles it” for you once you’re a mom.

For a newborn session, I take care of all of the little details. The lighting, the wrap, the poses. You don't have to plan anything or perform anything. You just sit there and hold your baby, while getting to enjoy the process.

We go as slow as she needs. If she needs to eat, we stop and feed her. If she needs to be held first, we hold her first. There's no clock running in that room. Just you, her, and a little bit of quiet.

Some couples just have a whole language between them.

I'm not trying to get just one nice portrait of a couple. I'm trying to get all of them. The goofy version. The soft version. The one where they forget I'm even in the room. That's the whole point of Enduring Love.

Most people only get photographed once every few years, usually rushed, usually a little stiff. This is the opposite of that. Hair and makeup done. A real consultation beforehand so I know your story before I ever pick up my camera. Then a session built around who you actually are, not just a pose that I saw on Pinterest.

If you've built something real together, you've earned more than just a quick portrait from your phone camera. You've earned a whole gallery of yourselves together.

Soon, there will be one more in this family portrait. 😍

I love this part of the job. The whole family shows up together, everyone a little nervous, everyone a little excited, all of them making room in the frame and in their hearts for someone new.

Maternity sessions like these get to capture a room full of love for someone who hasn’t even arrived yet! They're about everyone who's already loving that baby before they're even here.

Most quick photo sessions leave you feeling rushed. Mine don't.

I started Mini Session Day because I wanted people to have a real experience, not just a fast photo. Before we even pick up the camera, you get pro hair and makeup so you feel confident walking in front of the lens. And you get real time in the studio, not a rushed five minute slot.

The next day is Thursday, October 29. Here's what comes with it:

✨Pro hair and makeup, or men's styling
✨A studio portrait session
✨Two high-res digital images
✨Room to change your look more than once

People think this day is only for headshots, and it is a favorite for that. But it's just as perfect for seniors, branding photos, maternity, engagement, or even milestones.

Spots are limited and this day only happens a few times a year. Book your spot on our website! Link is in my bio.

Here’s a wardrobe tip that usually surprises people: fitted clothes photograph better.

Being photographed can make people extra self-conscious. And, often, that leads people to grab clothes with a little “extra room” to hide the parts of their bodies that aren’t their favorite. But…

When it comes time for image review, those same people then choose the images where they weren’t wearing the baggier clothing. Our eyes love shape and definition!

If there are features you’d like to accentuate or minimize, just let us know! We have tons of strategies to make sure you’re feeling confident while creating images you’re going to LOVE!

A maternity session doesn't have to be just you and the bump.

Bring your partner. Bring your kids. Bring your pets.
