family portraits
"Our family had the privilege of being photographed by Karen. We chose a location that we loved and within that she captured gorgeous candid and more formal images that were truly expressive of us, individually and as a family. Karen's relaxed manner, patience, ability to make 4 little people giggle and eye for detail made the experience enjoyable and memorable. We are delighted by our photos and would recommend her without hesitation." -Cath

I will keep your contact details as I would love you to do our next shoot". -Deborah
"Our family had a great time with Karen getting our photos taken. Karen had wonderful ideas for photos and was also happy to incorporate the photo ideas that my children had so that they felt included and valued. What a great afternoon of laughing and memories. The photos are absolutely stunning and I highly recommend Karen Stevenson as a family photographer. She really captured my children's unique personalities and wonderful smiles." -Corrina.

"Karen was the photographer at my 40th birthday party. She mingled among my guests in a relaxed manner. She astounded me with how many wonderful photos she captured of all the special little moments I missed as well as capturing all the important moments of the day. The photos were presented beautifully in a keepsake book. I am glad to have delegated this task to such a skillful professional." -Fiona
Organisations
YWAM Australia, Medical Ships:
"I recently had the privilege of having Karen Stevenson on our communications team on board our Medical Ship, the MV YWAM PNG. Karen volunteered with us on an 8-day outreach in remote villages in Papua New Guinea. During the outreach, Karen used her skills as a photographer to not only capture the medical work we were doing, but also the beauty and the hardships many Papua New Guineans face in rural, isolated areas. I've since used her photos in stories about patients we've treated, reports to both provincial and national health departments, our newsletters, and on our Facebook page (over 11,000 followers).
Karen's photos have helped raise awareness, garner more support, and have brought others along on our journey. Having worked with a range of photographers at various skill levels, I'd recommend Karen for the quality of her photos, her creativity, commitment, and her passion to help give a voice to the voiceless". - Anna Scott, Public Relations Manager, YWAM Medical Ships - Australia.
