10 Years {Spring Valley MN Portrait Photographer}

This month,  Photography by Kari  celebrates 10 years of being in business!  It’s hard to believe that! Ten years has gone by so fast.  Where did the time go?  What an exciting milestone!

Looking back at 10 years in business I feel truly blessed that I get to continue to do what I LOVE every single day!

Thank you to those who have been there, supporting me from the very first day and for those who have recently discovered me and my business. I never would have come this far without all the love and support I  from my family, friends, assistants, clients, and all my Facebook fans who take the time to click the “Like” button. THANK YOU for supporting Photography by Kari!  Here’s looking forward to the next 10 years!

So with all that said and the fact that it’s TBT,  here’s a collage from  my first portrait session….

My how times have changed, Isiah, is now a senior and we did his senior portraits this past fall…

And Zach is now  15 and is one of my assistants at Photography by Kari…  He was Olaf at Halloween this year….  

We’ve come a long ways from doing shoots in our living room or my Dad’s shed in the warmer months to our studio in downtown Spring Valley that we moved into 5 years ago (can’t believe that either).  Can’t wait to see what the next 10 year will be!

If you’ve made it this far, it’s
