Hey everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to apologize and update you all personally. The past three months have been unexpectedly overwhelming. I had to move very suddenly due to personal reasons and am currently living in a home that’s quite literally a construction zone. I have had increased difficulties with my epilepsy due to a change in my prescription. Then on top of that, with the ongoing government shutdown, I have been required to continue working as an essential employee, but without pay.

To keep up with my regular bills and responsibilities, I have picked up an additional job, which unfortunately has taken away from the time I usually devote to editing and delivering galleries. Please know that I am still working through edits as I can, and your photos are very important to me. I will continue to photograph the sessions I committed to, I am just behind on editing.

I truly appreciate everyone’s patience, kindness, and understanding during this stressful time. Photography is my passion, and I can’t wait to deliver the images you’ve been waiting for. Thank you for sticking with me, your support means the world. 🩷

With gratitude,
Karissa

Feeling incredibly blessed to give back to something that gave me so much. 🍀

4-H wasn’t just an extracurricular for me it shaped who I am. The values, the life skills, the friendships, and the sense of community I found through 4-H are pieces of me that still shine in everything I do. From presenting my first project as a shy kid to standing tall as an Extension Camp Instructor for years, this organization helped me grow in ways I’ll forever be thankful for.

We always said, “To Make the Best Better,” and we lived by it not just in our projects, but in how we treated people, how we worked through challenges, and how we learned to lead with heart.

Giving back is just a small way I can say thank you for the big impact 4-H had on my life. Here's to the next generation of leaders, doers, and dreamers. How, How! 🩷💫
