KAREN LIPPOWITHS

Photographs are a window into our collective soul. Affirmation. Reformation. Confirmation. The single most powerful means of communication. A single photograph has the power unite, divide, change, and ultimately bond us together in the shared human experience.

EPHEMERAL MOMENTS.
ETERNAL FINE ART.

PORTFOLIOS

“We’ve followed Karen’s work for years.  When we decided on a destination wedding in Santa Fe, we knew we wanted Karen!  During our wedding weekend, she became like family, sharing so many of our special moments and helping in so many unexpected ways. The images are simply amazing.  We love showing off our 'big box of beautiful' and framed canvas.  Karen is a warm and genuine. we are proud to call her a friend.”

"We were so lucky to work with Karen and her team for our wedding.  She's a top notch professional and her work is drool-worthy.  She thought of every detail and was present in the moments needed and retreated when it was our time to shine.  We absolutely adore our wedding album.  The design is clean and the images take us right back to the day.  We can't say enough good about Karen."
