Hello!

I’m a wife to a hard-working man and a mom of two sweet, rambunctious boys. When my oldest son was diagnosed with Fragile X Syndrome in 2011, I began a quest to document, through photography, the beauty & joy that filled my family’s difficult days. What started as a therapeutic endeavor has spilled over into a life-long passion.

Now I enjoy helping others capture their precious moments as timeless keepsakes; reminders of the beauty & joy in their own lives.

XOXO, Karen Mayes
