YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER IN INVERNESS, THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS AND MORAY

Hello! I’m Karen, the lady behind the lens! So, I guess you’re looking for a photographer in the Inverness area! But it’s not just about finding a photographer, is it? The real challenge is finding the right photographer for you. I’m passionate about forming meaningful relationships and providing a brilliant client experience, in addition to capturing beautiful images. What do I get up to in my free time? I love exploring Scotland with my wee touring caravan, as well as getting out and about in the countryside on my bike, listening to folk music and laughing at ‘Friends’.

Want to get to know me better? Great! I’m sure we’ll have lots in common. Just click the link below!

SO, WHAT DO I DO?

Range of Services

First and foremost, I’m a wedding photographer, conducting most of my work in Inverness and the Highlands. However, I also specialise in natural, outdoor family photo shoots; landscape photography workshops for individuals, couples and small groups; and commercial work including interiors and exteriors, and photography for wind farms and other developments. Weddings and families naturally go hand-in-hand. However, much of my other work allows me to indulge my love of landscapes and build relationships with other local businesses.

The Client Experience

I’m passionate about capturing beautiful images, but I’m equally enthusiastic about providing excellent service. It’s as important as the photographs! After all, a bad customer experience would taint even the most perfect images, right? I’ll make the whole process stress-free and personable, regardless of which of my photography services you’re using. My core business values include transparency, personal touches, as well as clear, prompt and friendly communication. I want all my clients to feel genuinely looked after and valued.

Scotland-wide Coverage

I’m based on the Black Isle (a lovely agricultural peninsula just north of Inverness), so I conduct most of my work throughout the Scottish Highlands and Moray. However, I’m happy to travel further afield, throughout Scotland, to work with you. I’m no stranger to working in Aberdeenshire, on the Western Isles and Orkney, or in the Central Belt. Of course, I always welcome an opportunity to travel around this wonderful country of ours! I might even bring my little touring caravan with me; I’m always looking for an excuse to use it!
