"Karen truly captured the personality of my children. The pictures are amazing!!! Working with Karen was fun for both my children and myself. We are grateful to find such a talented photographer to capture pictures that will be cherished for years to come! We smile every time we look at the sweet face, as well as the funny face she had him make during his session. We look forward to Karen photographing our family through the years."
     
  MRS. AMRITA BRAR & DR. RAJAT DANIEL, BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI
"I have worked twice with Karen to photograph my girls. She was extremely easy to work with. The shots were great and amazing-nothing like what I have seen before. Can't say enough about her work."
     
  MRS. STEPHANIE CAPONIGRO, BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI
"The photos are amazing. We love them, and the grandparents loved getting framed photos of that really close-up shot. Everyone said, 'It looks like he should be the inset for the frame!' or'"He should be a model!'"
     
  MRS. KIM PRODAN, BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI
"Urban Kids was truly a pleasure to work with. Most photo sessions with three year olds can be tricky, but Karen made it fun and captured some amazing moments! I love our photos!"
     
  MRS. ALICE & MR. KEVIN LASHBROOK, HOWELL, MI
"I have to say that I am not a huge fan of getting my picture taken. But what you produced of the family is amazing! I knew that the girls would take great ones, and you captured some very sweet moments of the two of them. The locations were perfect, and you made us feel comfortable yet gave us super-star status. The amount of products available to us were of the highest quality, and look wonderful in the house. I can't thank you enough for the wonderful opportunity to capture our family moments. Can't wait for the next session!"
     
  MRS. DONDRA ELIE, BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI
"The pictures of my children brought tears to my eyes they were so beautiful and so full of my personality. I've never used an independent photographer and wasn't sure what to expect. I am beyond delighted and will cherish these photos for life. My husband was also so delighted with the outcome that he framed them and took them to his office. He's hard to impress, so that was huge! Thank you again so much!"
     
  MRS. TERRI-ANNE SOUTHERN WALKER, KUWAIT CITY
"We got the album today.  It is absolutely beautiful.  I can't stop looking at it . . . such a great album of amazing photos of our girls.  Thanks again and we look forward to working with you again later this year."
     
  DR. JENNIFER & MR. MICHAEL HICHME, ROCHESTER, MI
"Urban Kids was such a pleasure to work with. The photo shoot was a relaxed and a fun experience. We also had a great time with the proof review, Karen is very creative and easy to work with. Our prints and photo book are very high quality, letting you know it came from somewhere special. After seeing our album or Christmas card friends and family have commented they will use Urban Kids."
     
  MRS. CHRISTY THAXTON, NORTHVILLE, MI
"As a friend commented on our recent photographs, 'You didn’t buy pictures, you bought art!' Karen delivers an unparalleled photography experience. From the beginning of the engagement providing guidance and setting expectations, to dealing with weather, children, and life situations, Karen is professional, flexible, and delivers her work quickly, with great packages to meet varying needs. Her images 'POP' capturing each and every person’s 'best side!' I love looking each and every day at the photos of my family and can’t imagine not having captured the memory of my family so beautifully!"
     
  MRS. ROBYN LANGSTON, NORTHVILLE, MI
"We had a wonderful experience working with you. The pictures of our infant twins are beautiful. You took your time to capture their individual personalities and their bond as brothers. Also, the pictures of our 7 year old are priceless. You captured the complete essence of her personality. The joy in her eyes said it all. She still talks about how much fun she had with you. These pictures really are a snapshot in time that will always remind us of this period in their lives. Our friends and family are still talking about the album and all the pictures! Thank you. We look forward to working with you again."
     
  MRS. MARIHA FOOR, MILAN, MI
"Working with Karen was such a pleasure. She made the experience fun, relaxed and enjoyable for my four-year-old. The images that she took are exquisite with vibrant color and clarity. We will treasure these works-of-art forever."
     
  DR. IRENA ZMITROVIC & DR. HAMID GHANBARI, NOVI, MI
"The experience was truly one of a kind. These pictures bring a smile to our faces every morning and make our new house feel complete. They capture our daughter so well, that years down the road just one look at them will bring back the great memories of the "'playful twos'." 
     
  MRS. DONYA ALLOS, WEST BLOOMFIELD, MI
"I have to say from the moment I took one glance at your website and seen samples of your one of a kind peices my heart started racing with excitement. Weeks later after viewing the artistic images you produced I was honestly in tears.  The memory you've created for us go beyond my children dressing up in the cutest outfit or having a big smile.  You are pure talent.  I can not begin to emphasize the gratitude and appreciation I have for such talented work , professionalism and patience.  I have had the privilege of working with you and you've given my family and I a priceless treasure we can cherish and look back on forever.  I appreciate perfection and, Honey that's exactly what you stand for. Karen the world needs to know your vision goes alot deeper than your lens. This is evident in the way you intuitively know how to capture people and moments, even the seemingly insignificant ones.  I'm looking forward to every memory you will create for my family and I in the future and I hope you know how much we appreciate you. Thank You for you."
     
  MRS. MICHELLE GOFF, BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI
"Karen is an amazing photographer. We enjoyed working with her and she was able to bring out the best in each one of us! She truly listened to our requests and created something that reflects both our family's personality as well as her superb talent as an artist."
     
  MRS. LYNN HALTON, FARMINGTON HILLS, MI
"Karen was the easiest person to work with for my daughter's senior portraits!  She made my daughter feel totally relaxed and helped her have fun and make her session a great life experience.  Karen even helped her pick out outfits!  Our session was in Ann Arbor and we got so many great photos, it was hard to choose.  Now our daughter is at college in Ann Arbor and we are thrilled her senior pictures were taken there!"
     
  DR. MONICA LEE-GRIFFITH, NORTHVILLE, MI
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!  My husband and I had been looking for a progressive, quality children's photographer to take unique pictures of our three year old daughter for awhile.  Our regular family photographer (who is not shabby by any means) had previously been unable to fully capture our child's outgoing personality and beauty.  I still can't quite figure out how you managed to keep our three year old smiling, but boy did you ever!  I was nearly in tears (the good kind) looking at the wonderful pictures.  They are EXCEPTIONAL!  You are an amazing photographer and definitely worth every penny!  We are overwhelmed with gratitude and look forward to working with you in future.  I will definitely recommend you to my family and friends. "
     
  MRS. NICOLE FERGUSON, NORTHVILLE, MI
"I've worked with Karen twice in the past two years and have the most beautiful pictures of my two daughters from these sessions.  The photographs are pieces of art work on my walls and I continue to stop and look at them nearly every time I walk by.  Karen was great with my girls, posing them, but not overdone.  And she was incredibly patient especially with my active 6 year old who thinks she is a mini model!" 
     
  MRS. MELISSA & MR. ANDREW RAE, MACOMB, MI
"Karen is such a pleasure to work with, she is professional and has an exquisite rapport with children.  Her attention to detail is impeccable.  Each childs' personality shines through in the photographs she takes.  We appreciate that with her artistry she was able to capture some of the milestones that pass too quickly in a child's life.  We are so pleased with the photographs she has taken and the beautiful photo displays she has designed.  Thank you Karen.  We look forward to working with you in the future."
     
  MRS. JANET NEWCOMER, FARMINGTON, MI
"Working with Karen has been a wonderful experience for my teenage daughter, and for my husband and me.  Karen has a great eye for capturing your child’s personality – all the while connecting with the child and making the session fun!   The quality of her work is incredible – and never fails to impress and delight my family and friends.  Her professionalism, and elegant touches are communicated clearly in every mailing, e-mail, and delivery.   We look forward to working with Karen for years to come!"
